Top Roach Challenge Tutorial - Still failing! 

I've started this challenge since 2 days, have watched lots of videos that would help me out. my best run was 43 fault so far, after watching this I just had 11 faults! while the big mess up was the very last (easy) part.. but it motivates me to keep going! at first I never thought I would make this at all! (especially after seeing people making this challenge look so easy)

I'd say have a shot at "Red Source" by Bloddae on track central. Difficulty I would say is a little easier than rock of rages ninja version, so definitely within your grasp. If you breeze through that, try "Ninja 2 - try if u dare" which is around the same difficulty but employs some interesting sub-ninja standard skill level techniques. Sorry for the long post.

Yo FatShady, I worked on this challenge yesterday, after 4 hours i finally got this challenge successed :D The only one Challenge that i Need is "Pipe Phobie", but i suck in doing wheelie :(

I like watching you struggle for the challenges because then i know it's tough and you're not a cyborg.

I got a zero fault run and then choked on the very last railing before the finish. Ahhh. AAAAAHHHHHHH.

This is the only challenge that's stopping me from getting all the achievements, I just end up sweaty palmed and frustrated lol

Come on Professor, when are you going to do a tutorial on this track? Trials Evolution - ManDragora [ Ninja Level 5 ] Those backwards bunny hops are INSANE!!!

Hey Shady, I've found a slightly more consistent way, for me at least, to get past the long jump at 5:25-5:35. I use the method you were talking about for another jump. When hitting the white crate thing in the middle, I drop my back wheel and then sit into the bunny hop to get that extra speed and grip. I now get that jump without faulting about 75% of the time. Hope it helps!

Almost 5 years later after my previous comment. best run back then was 5 faults in the end with the roach. After lots of trials rising, this feels kinda slow, but it is the only challenge I have left. So I'm going at it again. Good thing I've finished the invisible bike challenge tonight so that gives a boost too.

Usually I don't write any comments at all. I only subscribe and enjoy videos. Sometimes it's positive feedback I'm giving. This time, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all your efforts you put into describing your techniques. It helped a lot. I thought I'd lose my mind when unfortunately I touched that restart button a few hours ago. But not having given up, I tried over and over again and I finally did it a few minutes ago. Guess it took me about 20 hours to complete this challenge. Now there's only one challenge left: The invisible bike on Inferno IV... My written English may not be flawless because I'm German, but I hope you get the message: Keep on doing those great videos and thank you very much!!

Hey Shady, I was wondering if you knew anything about why the rider lights on fire on the "sunrise dash" track when u perform a "proud hero" pose on the first jump and land it? is this related to a squirrel? would like to know if u have noticed this as well or if you could have a look at it, Thanks!

At 16:32 (I think it's the second checkpoint) I wonder if it would be easier to not stop there and bounce off of the back wheel up to the next platform. I know I've done it on the Pit Viper but I don't know if it would work on the Roach. EDIT: Tried it, does not work at all.

You've said it before, the tutorial is just at the beginning, after that it's just practice, and you showed the practice. Watching you go through and figure things out helps us figure it out too, it's not just a video of you showing us you know how.. I say great vids, and would love to see more like this one! I like the length.

Just thought of something else, at times like the jump at 18:41 when you can't rotate the bike forward fast enough to land the front wheel and use the brake tapping technique, tapping the brake quickly or holding it (not sure which) in the air will rotate the bike forward very fast

About the jump near the end (shown in the video at 6.30); the most consistent way I found of doing it is that as you come up on the "box", hit the break (while front of the bike is already above and only the back wheel is in contact with the box), so that the momentum goes more forward rather than up.

Your Channel is awesome helps me so much! Thanks for all the Vids! Keep em coming! Just added you on Xb1! Have a nice Day!

Please could you do a tutorial video on how to do the last obstacle on infero 4 the part where you're on the round thing then you have to go up a slope then to go on the part where only one wheel to fit but I struggle on getting up to the platform to finish the track

What I do on the hard part is try to make my front wheel to not touch the second part of the ramp and just use the back wheel to bounce the front part over.

I did this on my first try.... No video proof though...

I completed pipe phobia without too much of a problem but finding this challenge so hard. This game is brutal. I really want to give up but I’ve come so far.

Is there any video of you successfully doing this challenge? I know you did all the challenges, that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

I gave up on this stupid ass challenge a long time ago. Came back yesterday and gave it another good 20 tries and ended up completing it!! WHAT. A. NIGHTMARE. Seriously. Glad I ended up getting it. Miss your videos!!

Im down to 5 faults, when I first tried I thought I will NEVER get this challenge but now I think I will.

Wait till there is a top roach 2 in the dlc

I find that obstacle the easiest at 6:45

i did this in april, what u doin? ;p

Wish I'd seen these vids before I stopped playing due to frustration, I'm gonna start playing again and put your methods into practice, thanks :)

I used to do the second to last obstacle the way you do it, trying to bunny hop in a way that gets your front tire on top of the box. I found it alot more consistent to actually stay full throttle and drive up the wall then hit the brake after the front tire leaves the wall but your back tire is still in contact. The back tire locking up causes your bike to spin forward into an easy endo then just fap your back wheel up. Then again ive only done it with the pit viper, but I imagine its probably just as useful for the roach. I was WAAAAY more consistent on the pit viper once i started using that technique. I have no plans on even attempting this course on the roach ;)

On my 3rd attempt at this I made it all the way to the end and messed up since I was completely shocked that I "did it." I faulted on the last checkpoint about 5 seconds from having the challenge completed. Since then, it's been along rode that just never ends. The closest I've gotten has been 1 fault, of course, at the second to last checkpoint. I'm sure that it's just a matter of time before I get it... I try here an there though. I will say, do not watch replay of people doing the challenge, it will just mess with you and then you have no hope of completing the challenge for a while longer.I made that mistake and it took me awhile to recover. Anyway... Happy hunting for this challenge.
