Maximum efficiency for the grind trophies

How to cut down on time with the "500 X Grind" trophies

 

1) Stand at the top of a steep handrail, preferably in the middle of a set of stairs and not on the side. Also, not too long of a rail for the various grind-type trophies

2) Open the map editor, and place a piece of plywood

3) Position the plywood so that it's under your skater

4) Raise the plywood by pressing up on the D-pad. Your skater will also rise

5) Stop so that your dude is about 4-5 feet above the rail. Place the plywood

6) Return to your skater, and get on the board so that you're directly above the rail. Place a respawn point here

7) Open the map editor, and delete the plywood

8. Respawn at your respawn point

9) Position your sticks so that you land in whatever grind you need, and slide down the rail. Once you hit concrete, respawn

10) repeat infinitely for whatever grinds you gotta get

 

Definitely faster and easier than the other methods I've tried. Also worth noting, you can readjust your spawn point with another piece of plywood so that you're off to a side, if you need nose/tail grinds

 

Finally: for the 50-50s that landing in the 50-50 position, and then popping into another 50-50 means double the grind counter per spawn. Put a fliptrick you need in between (5050, inward heel, 5050, flip out) means stuuuupid efficiency. cut hours off potentially

 

peace, good luck

For the long grind trophy, I found that the normal method works best, although more effort

I got this trophy very very quick by just starting at the middle of the bridge, push 3 times and board/lip slide down the entire handrail. It literally goes the entirety of the bridge. By far the longest rail and fastest method for this trophy. Hope it helps!

yes doing the long grind trophy is best on the long rail but doing the few thousand individual grinds it's impractical to use the long rail exclusively. Utilizing the spawn trick mentioned above is the best way to streamline effort

If you push once for minimum speed and lock into whatever grind you need on the bridge rail, you can trigger back and forth and get 60-100 tricks per single grind. Can have them all done within the hour while putting in dents towards the grind distance.
