WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?: Motorcycle Club is an arcade-style motorbike racing game. It has a unique (to my knowledge) feature where you can swap bikes mid-race to adjust for different track types. This allows for pretty big advantages over the (admittedly quite stupid) AI.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that, because it has a similar name to DriveClub, it must be similar in quality, because it isn't - the in-game options are extremely limited and gameplay is not the best either. That being said, it is a fairly easy game to complete, and the road to platinum will be simple for the most part - there is however one highly missable trophy which you'll need to look out for.

Throughout the trophy guide I'll be referring to the 3 bike types: Superbike, Roadster and Custom. You can freely switch between each type of bike at any time in a race by pressing or . You can tell which one you are currently using by looking at the central display color in the top middle of your screen. They are denoted as follows:

Superbike: Green (Excels at speed)
Roadster: Blue (Excels at handling)
Custom: Orange (Excels at broken track)

Step 1: Short and Sweet

It is important that you do this step first - the remaining steps can be done in any order. There is a highly missable trophy, this step is about getting this achieved as efficiently as possible. The trophy in question is Short and sweet, which is the only missable trophy in the game.

Play through tournament mode, try to ensure you get the #1 spot in both race and stunt rankings to maximize your Kudos, and move to the next tournament as soon as it is unlocked. This will also involve switching to the constructors' challenge mode to gain the next bike needed to unlock the next Championship. Although most people feel compelled to complete every race in a tournament before moving to the next, do not do it, as this will lock you out of the trophy. I have included the ideal route through the game under the description for that trophy to help you ensure a second full playthrough is not required.

Upon completion of this step, you will have earned at least the following (but not limited to):

Are we almost there?
A long way to go
Hang in there!
Good start
Halfway line
Keep it up!
Victory is within reach
Nearly there!
The best club!
Short and sweet
Collector
It's a start
Gold bug
Gold rush
Nice collection
Jackpot
That much?!
Golden Boy
Ace
Enthusiast
Marathon

Step 2: Gold Medal Cleanup

Now that you have the missable trophy out of the way, it's time to go back to all the races you missed and the ones you didn't get gold medals in, and finish off the gold medals. This step will have the effect of maximizing your chances of acquiring the miscellaneous trophies and gaining you more credits to unlock the remaining bikes.

Keep an eye out for any of the missions that will hinder your natural progress and try to get most of them out of the way on this step - for example, you will naturally complete missions that require jumping 30 ramps, you may not naturally complete a mission asking you to finish last in a race. So in this case finish last so that a better, cumulative mission is available to complete.

After you have completed this step, you will have earned (but not limited to):

What? More?
Prodigy
Perfectionist
I want more!

Step 3: Time Trial

There are only a couple of trophies that you have no chance of gaining by accident. One of the trophies requires you to complete a time trial on each of the game's circuits, so now is the time to do that. Also, take the opportunity here to complete the same track 25 times in a row for another trophy. Again, look out for missions, but ones that aren't race / opponent related as you can complete them in this mode with no pressure.

After you have completed this step, you will have earned:

Record holder
Is that all?

Step 4: Buying all Bikes

With all the gold medals, a lot of the missions and therefore hopefully enough credits earned, you can now unlock the remaining bikes via the constructors' challenges and buy them all.

After you have completed this step, you will have earned:

Constructors' pet
The King of shopping

Step 5: Offline Cleanup

With the exception of Sponsored which you may have to grind a little for, these are all trophies that you will most likely have gained by accident, but there is a chance you'll have a couple of them left. See the trophy descriptions for the individual trophies you may be missing.

After you have completed this step, you will have earned:

Street Hawk
Sponsored
Easy does it
Stuntman
Fashionista
Have you seen my helmet?
Could do better
Not bad...
I'm back!
By a nose
Can't get worse
Comeback
Balancing act
Combo breaker

Step 6: Online

The final step is the online portion. There are 7 online trophies (8 when counting the platinum) and they are very easily boosted. Doing them legitimately would be tough due to the inactivity of the servers, and winning 5 races in a row is hard regardless.

Find boosting partners in the PS4 and PS3 boosting threads.

After you have completed this step, you will have earned:

Glory beckons
National pride
Continental star
World famous
We have a winner!
We have a champion!
Over-connected

And finally, you will have earned:

Motorcycle Club

Congratulations when you get this!

[PST Would Like to Thank morg106 for this Roadmap]

Motorcycle Club

Win every Motorcycle Club trophy.
The same as every other platinum trophy - gain all the trophies below to unlock this one.
Street Hawk

Fill the Turbo bar and then use it all in one go without hitting anything.
You can do this on any race / track you'd like, but the best way is to do it is in a constructors' challenge. Depending which bike you are trying to unlock and therefore riding, they build up their Turbo bar in different ways:
- Superbike: Wheelies - the longer you do one, the more boost you acquire.
- Roadster: Near misses - the longer you can stay adjacent to a wall / opponent / object without hitting it, the more boost you acquire.
- Custom: Jumps - the longer you stay in the air, the more boost you acquire.
You will know when the boost bar is full because it will glow white and a "whoosh" sound will play. Once the bar is full simply wait for a straight or a part of track you feel comfortable with and press and hold to use up all of the boost. Alternatively, using it directly after you crash is a good idea since you'll cover less distance when using it all.

There is another even easier way to unlock this, it's best done when you are cleaning up if you need it. At the start of any race immediately switch to your Roadster. Do wheelies until you fill up your boost and then press and hold to slow down while holding to use all the boost. Even though you'll stop and inch backwards slightly, it still counts as using all your boost. I was able to unlock the trophy with a second account online this way.

- Purchase the Yamaha YZF-R6 after completing the constructors' challenge
See Short and sweet for important information regarding Championships and unlocking this particular Championship in 70 races or less.
Short and sweet

Unlock the Victors' Championship in at most 70 races.
This is the only missable trophy in the game. It is important to focus on this trophy alone when playing the tournament through the first time. You need to gain access to the Victors' Championship in a maximum of 70 races. The perfect path, which you will need to shoot for and is detailed below, is a minimum of 67 races. This gives you a 3-race margin for error. However, there are only 3 Championships where slight error is permissible so it is important to stick to the plan below. You can come back to do everything else later, get this trophy out of the way as soon as you possibly can.

You can do any of the races in a Championship in any order, with this in mind I recommend avoiding any races involving Cosby Coast and Kotoma Port where possible (the lack of broken road makes for unpredictable AI) and also avoid Mount Joy where possible too (the AI can be a little overpowered in this race and frustrate you). You will know a race has been completed because it will be shaded white in the Championship overview.

Now, there are also constructors' challenges to deal with during your path to this trophy, as you cannot play the next championship until you have unlocked and purchased the relevant bike, so I have accounted for switching back to those below.

One final note, the game autosaves at the credit award screen. You can quit to the XMB / close the Application if you aren't happy with your race performance, which is the safest way to replay a race and not affect this trophy. Your last opportunity to quit like this is on the Kudos award screen. You can possibly replay races that you have already completed, but I cannot personally verify this as I didn't take the risk.

Following this plan will net you the trophy:
- Beginner championship - complete 2 races only, earning at least 300 Kudos
  - Purchase the Kawasaki Z800
- Rookie championship - complete 3 races only, earning at least 1100 Kudos
  - Purchase the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
- Junior championship - gold medal all 4 races, earning the maximum 2400 Kudos OR complete 5 races only (if absolutely necessary - avoid if possible)
  - Purchase the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade
- Standard championship - complete 6 races only, earning at least 4200 Kudo
  - Purchase the Honda VT1300C Fury
- Regulars' championship - complete 7 races only, earning at least 6700 Kudos
  - Purchase the KTM 1290 Super Duke R
- Veterans' championship - complete 9 races only, earning at least 9900 Kudos
  - Purchase the Yamaha R1
- Seniors' championship - gold medal all 10 races, earning the maximum 14,000 Kudos OR complete 11 races only (if absolutely necessary - avoid if possible)
  - Purchase the Suzuki Bandit 1250S
- Aces' championship - complete 12 races only, earning at least 19,000 Kudos
  - Purchase the BMW R nine T
- Champions' championship - gold medal all 14 races, earning the maximum 25,200 Kudos OR complete 15 races only (if absolutely necessary - avoid if possible)
  - Purchase the Yamaha YZF-R6
The Victors' championship should now be unlocked in between 67-70 races and the trophy will pop.

If for some reason you missed this trophy - perhaps you messed up, or Google has brought you here - you can wipe your game progress from within the game itself. Do that by going to Main Menu > Options & Extras > Data > Delete Progress. Hopefully you will never need this information.
What? More?

Earn at least 150,000 Kudos in the tournament.
This trophy will not come before Short and sweet because for that trophy, you need to get the minimum Kudos possible to advance to the next championship. It will come during the gold medal cleanup later on. There is a total of 163,000 Kudos available over the tournament mode, and you'll acquire the Kudos for this trophy naturally during the gold medal clean-up.

Finish all the game missions at least once.
There are 27 missions to complete in the game, they can be viewed by going Main Menu > The Club > Missions. Some of them have multiple tiers, some not. Contrary to what the trophy description suggests, you must complete every mission and every tier. On top of this, you can only make progress / complete the 3 missions that are currently available to you. You can see these in the pre-race selection screen or even better, when you press pause ( for PS3 or for PS4) during a race, as this screen will show your progress.

With that in mind, if you come across a mission which isn't cumulative and won't come naturally (finish last in a race for example) then get it out of the way. However, only do missions like the one I just mentioned if you are in the clean-up stage, or if you'd prefer to do them earlier, via quick race at Main Menu > Races > Quick Race. Once completed, there's a chance a more desirable mission will become available, for instance jumping 30 ramps.

Missions cannot be completed online.

Also, the next mission won't be available immediately. You'll need to finish your current race and get the credits associated with the mission before the next one appears.

The missions and tips to help you unlock them are as follows:
- Do an 80 / 180 meter wheelie
  - This is very simple to do. To pull a wheelie, pull back while accelerating. Most straights in the game will be long enough for you to achieve both of these distances.
- Do a wheelie for 1 / 3 km
  - This is cumulative and will start counting when you unlock the mission. You will be pulling wheelies a lot during the game for high stunt scores, so this will come naturally.
- Cross the finish line while doing a wheelie
  - You can do this at most finish lines in the game. When you are about to end the race, pull back on the to wheelie over the finish. Do it as early as you can, too late and you won't bring your wheel up fast enough.
- Go over a ramp 3 / 5 times in the same race
  - This does not mean the same ramp, it means go over any ramp in the race. Hence, your first 3 or 5 ramps will net you this mission.
- Go over 10 / 30 ramps
  - This will come naturally since there are multiple ramps on each track and you'll go over a lot of them by accident. This is cumulative across races.
- Jump farther than 30 / 50 m
  - The majority of ramps in the game will allow you to jump these distances. I found I would get more airtime with the custom bike so try that if you are struggling. The sides of a ramp are also more steep and will get you more airtime so approaching them awkwardly is often beneficial.
- Change motorcycles 3 / 5 times in the same race
  - This will likely come naturally when there is race with a lot of broken track but if you want to knock it out early, spam or in a race to bag this mission.
- Change motorcycles 20 / 35 times
  - This is cumulative across multiple races, however if you want to just get it done, spam or in a race. You can easily get the 35 in a single race if you'd like.
- Get caught by a speed camera at 200 / 230 km/h
  - This is 124 / 143 mph if you are like me and switch the units. Nearly every superbike in the game is faster than this, especially when you use boost, so you'll likely achieve these missions in the first race you play after unlocking them. There are usually 3 speed cameras located on a track so you'll get 9 opportunities on a standard race.
- Slip into an opponent's wake 1 / 3 times in the same race
  - An opponent's wake is their slipstream, and slipping into their wake is more commonly known as drafting. Get up behind an opponent 1 or 3 times and you'll get this easily. It's more than likely you will get this just by pulling off the starting grid. It does not mean the same opponent, it can be any opponent.
- Slip into an opponent's wake 10 / 35 times
  - As above - keep drafting opponents, but this one is cumulative across races. You do not even need to get the drafting stunt score for one of these to count, getting behind them for a second is enough.
- Be in the starting grid 5 times
  - Once this mission is unlocked, it will be completed after you have played 5 races.
- Finish a race in first place 1 / 5 times
  - After this mission becomes available, you'll need to win 1 or 5 races. Only race position counts for this. Stunt position is irrelevant.
- Finish a race in last place 1 / 5 times
  - After this mission becomes available, you'll need to be last in 1 or 5 races. Only race position counts for this. Stunt position is irrelevant. This is one of those that won't happen naturally, you'll need to try for it.
- Brush against objects 5 / 10 times in the same race
  - You will need to get the near miss stunt for this mission, "brush against" is a little misleading since touching an object will void a near miss. You will likely get this naturally, but if you want to get it done quickly, skim close to walls and ramps as often as possible.
- Brush against objects 50 / 100 times
  - You will need to get the near miss stunt for this mission, "brush against" is a little misleading since touching an object will void a near miss. You will get this naturally, but if you want to get it done quickly, skim close to walls and ramps as often as possible. It is cumulative across races.
- Brush against 5 / 10 / 15 motorbikes in the same race
  - You will need to get the near miss stunt for this mission, "brush against" is a little misleading since touching another bike will void a near miss. You may not get this naturally, especially the 15 near misses. To get it done pick a race with lots of broken track and try to get a lot of near misses with bikes early on off the starting line. Then, keep letting everyone pass you and then catch them to get near misses. On the broken track, switch to your custom bike and get near misses with the slower moving superbikes. I found Windtown Lane perfect for these bike near misses as the other racers stay fairly bunched up and you can keep accelerating past and then letting them pass to get a few on both passes. It will take a couple of laps but it's easily doable.
- Brush against 20/30/40 motorbikes
  - You will need to get the near miss stunt for this mission, "brush against" is a little misleading since touching another bike will void a near miss. This is cumulative so it will come naturally but you can always speed it up. To get it done pick a race with lots of broken track and try to get a lot of near misses with bikes early on off the starting line. Then, keep letting everyone pass you and then catch them to get near misses. On the broken track, switch to your custom bike and get near misses with the slower moving superbikes. I found Windtown Lane perfect for these bike near misses as the other racers stay fairly bunched up and you can keep accelerating past and then letting them pass to get a few on both passes. You will get several near misses per race this way.
- Complete 1 / 5 entire laps without bumping anything
  - For these either get a big lead and then coast around for a lap or 2 avoiding all objects, or stay behind and do the same. Staying behind is probably the better option since you won't get bikes coming from nowhere and smashing into, unless you go very very slowly.
- Go 1 / 10 full laps without changing motorbikes
  - This is easier done on the tracks with avoidable or no broken road. This way you won't be tempted to switch over to your custom bike. Now just keep racing and don't switch bikes in a lap. Cosby Coast is good for these.
- Cross the finish line with a motorbike that is not the one you started with
  - Cross the finish line with either your roadster or custom bike, since you always start with the superbike.
- Cross the finish line with the motorbike you started with
  - Cross the finish line with the superbike, since you always start with this.
- Take part in 3 different races in a row
  - When it says 3 races, it means 3 tracks. This will likely come naturally, but if you do play on the same track more than once in a 3 race period, it will reset your progress.
- Take part in 5 different races
  - This basically means play on 5 different tracks. Remember, even if you have clearly played on every track, the missions only count from when they are unlocked. So when this one is available, play on 5 different tracks.
- Take part in the same race 3 times in a row
  - Again, this means play on the same track 3 times in a row. Pick a shorter track like Cosby Coast and take part in 3 races.
- Take part in the same race 5 times
  - This basically means play on the same track 5 times. Remember, the missions only count from when they are unlocked. So when this one is available, play on the same track 5 times. Use Cosby Coast to grind this out as it is the shortest.
- Use all the turbo in one go when the gauge is full
  - This is the nearly the same as the trophy Street Hawk. You will need to build up your boost in the ways mentioned in that trophy then use it all up by pressing and holding until it is depleted. However this mission says nothing about hitting anything so it should be even easier.
Constructors' pet

Finish all the constructors' challenges.
From the Main Menu go to "The Club" and then "Constructors' Challenge". There are 19 challenges total, and you'll be doing 9 of them anyway on your way to Short and sweet . The remainder are best left until after you have gotten that trophy, so you don't waste credits on their buy-in prices, plus they won't all be available until you make tournament progress.

You'll be given the bike you want and a lap time to beat. In my view the majority are easy, and just a couple can be tough. On most, it's harder to beat the time on the first lap since you have to start stationary, on the grid. The best tactic is not to have accidents, don't bother slowing down, and try to build up boost as follows:
- Superbike: Wheelies - the longer you do one, the more boost you acquire.
- Roadster: Near misses - the longer you can stay adjacent to a wall / opponent / object without hitting it, the more boost you acquire.
- Custom: Jumps - the longer you stay in the air, the more boost you acquire.
In my opinion the most efficient way to use the boost is directly after a crash, or pretty much any time when you aren't at top speed. If you notice your top speed is 157 mph for example, use the boost to get back up to this speed. Using it to get over broken road (since you cannot swap bikes in this mode) uses a lot of boost quickly, and in any case, the target lap times account for this slowdown so don't waste the boost. Also, if you know you are past a part where you usually crash, use the boost elsewhere to help get to the end quicker.

Win 119 gold medals.
There are a total of 119 gold medals in the game, so you need to get every one of them. A gold medal is achieved by placing first in BOTH rankings: race position and stunt points.

In conjunction with Short and sweet , you should be aiming for gold medals anyway in the races you do take part in. However, this particular trophy should be ignored otherwise until that one is out of the way. You will get this at step 2 when you have nothing missable to fear.

Races are simple enough. On the races with broken track (denoted with red sections on the pre-race map and your HUD) you will be able to swap to your custom bike to get over these quickly. The AI cannot switch bikes, thereby giving you a massive advantage. On other hand, there are some tracks with little or no broken track and these are the most annoying to win, since the AI can navigate some bends at full speed without penalty, although they do tend to slow down too much at simple corners too. However, a few tries and a little practice will be all that is required to win the race in these cases.

Stunt points are fairly easy too. In the races with little or no broken track it can be a little tough as the AI are much better here and you won't get so much space, but as long as you ensure you hit a few jumps and skim past the walls, as well as pulling wheelies and driving through rings where possible, you should win this ranking comfortably. It is even easier on the majority of tracks where you will build up a hefty lead - for these simply make a focused effort to keep combos going, and also switch to your custom bike; while it isn't the fastest, it keeps a "top speed" combo going for a long time, and you can alternate wheelies, jumps and near misses in order to rack up the combo and therefore, points.
Jackpot

Earn at least 3,000 credits at the end of a race.
See That much?! .
That much?!

Earn at least 5,000 credits at the end of a race.
This trophy, along with Jackpot , is impossible to miss. You get awarded credits at the end of every race based on your performance and mission progress, as well as setting a record lap time or speed on at least your first visit to each track. As an example, it will likely come early on in tournament mode, as some of the missions are 3000 credits alone, on your first visit to a track you will have set a record lap time and speed for a lot of credits, and if you get the gold medal you'll have maximum credits for this too. On top of this, the final 3 Championships will award in excess of 5000 credits for getting the gold medal. Hence, you will get this trophy without trying specifically for it.

This is another credit-related trophy which will come naturally. This will come during your gold medal clean-up. Credits are earned for a plethora of activities including completing missions, track lap time and speed records, race performance and stunt rankings, and completing championships.

This trophy is cumulative so you do not need it all in the bank at once.

For this trophy you'll need to earn at least 400,000 stunt points in one race. This may sound like a lot but you can rack up points quite quickly and easily if you can get a good multiplier going. The best track is one that you feel comfortable with and preferably has a good mix of ramps, rings, and straights for wheelies, close calls and top speed points. Also, the best bike for points is the custom bike, since it goes slower so is easier to control, and awards easy top speed stunt points. Try not to hit anything as doing so will be the biggest detriment to your points tally.

A sure fire way if you are struggling is the Kotoma Port track, this has a nice section near the end with a series of 4 ramps and rings. If you can use the custom bike to approach this and already have a top speed streak going, followed by jumping over all these then doing a close call or wheelie directly afterwards, you will rack points up quickly on each lap. Maintain close calls and a wheelie up the hill to the next set of ramps if you do miss a couple or ramp / ring combos.

With all that said, this is potentially a trophy that you will achieve naturally, and will not be any problem in the end. The hardest part is contending with the game's poor controls.

I was able to unlock this trophy online too on a second account.

This refers to stunt points within a race. You'll need to rack up a lot of points while keeping a good multiplier going. As with Stuntman , the best way is to do it on a track you have a good feel for, otherwise try the Kotoma Port track and use the method of going over all 4 ramps while keeping a combo going either side of them. Remember though, once you work out that you roughly have enough points, do not hit anything so that the multiplier runs out and registers your combo; hitting an object will reset your multiplier and cost you all your points.
I'm back!

Finish a race at least one lap ahead of an opponent.
This will almost certainly come naturally in a longer race with a lot of broken track, as the AI don't have the advantage of being able to change bike, therefore they are slowed down significantly by either their bike or the broken track. To try specifically for this, make sure you go full speed around the track and only change to custom when it's necessary, changing back to superbike at all other times.
By a nose

Finish a race less than 0.1 s ahead of an opponent.
This is an extremely luck based trophy, as even with careful planning, it's hard to get such a small margin between two bikes at the finish.

With that said, there's a decent chance you'll get this naturally in a race with little or no broken track, because the AI are actually decent in these races and will catch you at unfair opportunities. Indeed, I acquired the trophy when an AI came up blisteringly fast behind me and practically smashed me over the finish line.

If you do struggle, pick a track where you are comfortable with the layout and preferably some broken track near the finish to slow the AI down, then lay in second place and go side by side at the finish, using a little boost at the death if necessary. Alternatively wait for the AI as close as you can to the finish line and edge over when you can see him approaching, making sure not to go too early.
Ace

Finish first in the two rankings of a race.
Finishing first in the two rankings means you must finish in first position in the race, as well as being first in the stunt point rankings. This is the combination of things you must do to earn a gold medal, therefore this is sort of a prequel to It's a start ; the description may as well say "Earn one gold medal.".

You will definitely get this in your first playthrough without much effort at all. For tips, see Perfectionist .
Can't get worse

Finish a race in last place in the two rankings.
This trophy is the direct opposite of Ace . It can be done on any track, pick one that is short to save time. Don't risk this while attempting Short and sweet , as you may jeopardize your progress towards that and potentially cost yourself hours in the process.

Finishing last is the easy part of the trophy. Simply let everyone else set off and be on your way. This will ensure you finish last in the race position rankings.

The second part will need a little care, you will need to make sure you don't do any jumps, drive through any rings, don't go fast, don't wheelie and just generally avoid doing stunts of any kind. Crash into the wall if you accidentally start building points. Hopefully you will be terrible enough to be even worse than the worst AI, finish last in the stunt rankings, and unlock this trophy.

I was unable to unlock this online despite meeting the requirements so it is an offline only trophy.
Comeback

Have at least 10 accidents and still be the fastest in the race.
This sounds much worse than it actually is. The tracks that you find good for I'm back! will also be great for this trophy. An accident is defined as when the screen goes to black and then fades back up with a red tint, with you starting again in the middle of the track. Pick a longer race, preferably one with broken track to help your chances of catching up to the pack / keeping your substantial lead. When the race starts you can keep immediately turning into the wall, or you can get a lead and start crashing if you'd prefer. Either way, count 10 accidents and then go on to win, and the trophy will pop.

It's not worth attempting this trophy on your Short and sweet run in case you don't actually win and mess up your progress.

I was unable to unlock this online so it is an offline only trophy.
Record holder

Complete a time trial on each of the game's circuits.
Go to the Main Menu then Races> Time Trial. There are 20 tracks to complete, all you need to do is complete one lap of each track to register a time, and then quit out. The tracks are as follows:
- Cosby Coast
- Mount Joy
- Wansweden Drive
- Tuna Park
- Pemcutshire Hills
- Windtown Lane
- Istok Highway
- Harper Road
- Poppinleaf Drive
- Kotoma Port
- Cosby Coast (Reverse)
- Mount Joy (Reverse)
- Wansweden Drive (Reverse)
- Tuna Park (Reverse)
- Pemcutshire Hills (Reverse)
- Windtown Lane (Reverse)
- Istok Highway (Reverse)
- Harper Road (Reverse)
- Poppinleaf Drive (Reverse)
- Kotoma Port (Reverse)
There is no indication that you have completed a lap so you'll need to keep track.

Note that there is a possibility you don't even have to complete a lap; I completed 1 lap on the first 19 tracks then I quit number 20 as soon as I had control of the bike, and the trophy popped. You may be able to start and then quit for all 20, however I have not tested this since I used the laps to chip away at missions. Try it at your own risk.
Balancing act

Do a wheelie for 100 metres.
This will come naturally as you should be doing wheelies fairly often anyway to get stunt points, and the longer the wheelie the better. However, if for some reason you need to try for this trophy, any constructors' challenge is the best place to do it. At the start line, hold the throttle down () and pull back on the . You'll launch into a wheelie as soon as you can move and get a 100 meters wheelie with no problem.
Combo breaker

Reach the X10 multiplier.
(1)
You build up a multiplier by doing consecutive stunts without crashing, and in quick succession. You can keep doing one type of stunt to maintain the multiplier, but you must alternate stunt types to build it up. For example, jump > jump > jump will only be X1, but wheelie > jump > wheelie will be X3.

You will likely get this naturally, but it can be tough because any impact with track walls or other riders will reset your multiplier, and doing stunts quick enough can be hard. However if you need to try for it, the best place is the one I have previously mentioned; in a Kotoma Port race. This track has a nice section near the end with a series of 4 ramps and rings. These ramps alone will get you a X8 multiplier, so all you need to do is a stunt before and a stunt after. Approaching on your custom bike may mean you have a top speed stunt going, otherwise near miss the wall, or do a wheelie. Then successfully navigate all 4 ramps and rings, and near miss the wall or wheelie at the end again. This will net you the X10. If you don't quite do it, maintain the multiplier by doing near misses with the wall and pulling a wheelie all the way up the following hill to the next set of ramps.

I did manage to pop this online so it can be unlocked there too.
Is that all?

Finish 25 laps in a row in the same race.
This is best done in conjunction with Record holder . While in the Time Trial mode, pick a track that you enjoy or seem to do better at. For speed, use Cosby Coast. Now do 25 laps in a row.

If you'd like, you can go AFK by rubber-banding down, as you will always get reset to the middle of the track and continue on your way. As with most games where you'd try this however, it's still possible to get stuck, so it's worth a check every now and then. I found it reliable to rubber-band the to turn it slightly to the left and soften the blow around the track's many left hand bends, thus not crashing so often.

The trophy will pop early in your 26th lap so there's no need to keep counting laps if you're going to AFK. Just check if you have the trophy every now and then.

This would be simple to do legitimately, but it's impossible anyway due to the online being non-existent. You will need a boosting partner for this. Set up a private match by going Main Menu > Races > Multiplayer > Create Private Game. Invite your partner with . Once your partner has accepted the invite and joined, keep completing races until you have done 50. Remember to trade 5 wins in a row for We have a champion! ; once that trophy is done, you only need to complete races and not win them for this trophy.

If you'd like to, you can go AFK (of sorts) by rubber-banding :R2: down to complete races. Also, rubber-band the slightly left to help with getting around the left hand bends and reduce your chances of getting stuck. However, you both still need to press to keep advancing through the menus and lobby. This would work perfectly if you both had turbo controllers with pressed down and rubber-banded as above, but I did not have the luxury of trying this.

If 2 dedicated people sat down and boosted this trophy in it's entirety playing Cosby Coast, and both finished the race with a normal time each, with no breaks, it would take roughly 3.5-4 hours.

Marathon

Reach at least 360 minutes of race time.
The trophies to reach 180 minutes (3 hours) and 360 minutes (6 hours) of race time will come naturally when going for all other trophies. They will likely both pop before you even have Short and sweet , so do not go out of your way to get them.

These generic race time trophies also stack with Over-connected if you choose to do the online first. I know this because I used a second account PS3 to boost the online, and the first 60 minutes unlocked that trophy, followed by Enthusiast 120 minutes later.
Over-connected

Reach at least 60 minutes of online race time.
This trophy will come naturally before you have achieved World famous . Since you'll be doing 50 races, each race would need to be less than 1 minute 12 seconds long for you to miss this. Of course they are much longer than that as your are forced into 3 laps per race, and you'll get it fairly early on.
