To get a perfect power parking you need to make sure that your car is close (but not touching) and parallel to the curb and not touching the car in front of and behind you. If you touch the cars you are trying to park between and set off their alarms it seems that you cannot power park there again

Motor City, Big Surf Beach and Ocean View.

A flat spin can be done on any kind of jumps and ramps. When your car hits the jump or ramp press your E-brake (x button) and push your left stick left or right. This will put your car into a flat spin. The amount of flat spin your car will get depends on your speed when you hit the ramp and how you hit the ramp. A lot of height and airtime might be good but it seems that the spin velocity is more important. The velocity at which the car spins mostly depends on how you hit the ramps and the timing of hitting your e-brake. With practice you should be able to pull off some amazing jumps. 😃

1. Speed
2. Stunt
3. Aggression

You can find complete maps to all smashes, super jumps and billboards in the Burnout Paradise demo below:

• Map to Gates in the Burnout Paradise Demo

You can get multipliers in several ways.

• Big Air (+1)
• Flat Spin (+1 seems like angle must be > 180 degrees and the multiplier increases with higher angles)
• Super Jumps (+1)
• Barrel Rolls (+2)
• Billboards (+1)
• Boost chaining does not give you mulipliers but points. If you do a 3x boost chain you will get: 1000 + 2000 + 3000 = 6000 points!

Here are the rules for repetition:

1. The same jump is only scored once. This means if you go over a jump in one direction and do a flat spin then go back and do a barrel roll in the same direction you will not be scored for the second time.
2. Billboards and smashes can not be repeated.
3. Repetition is per combo so you can go back and try again if you crash.
4. Boost scoring degrades over time. It ends up on 1 point a second.

• Driving in oncoming.
• Boosting.
• Drifting.
• Driving in reverse. Also note that driving in reverse also gives you more points when performing combos.
• Air time.
• Flat spins.
• Barrel rolls.
• Smashes.
• Billboards.
• Boost chaining.
• Super Jumps.

The timer pie tells you how much time is left until your combo will be lost. The countdown is 5 seconds. The timer counts down as long as you don’t do any:

• Boosting.
• Driving in reverse. Also note that driving in reverse also gives you more points when performing combos.
• Air time.
• Flat spins
• Barrel rolls
• Billboards
• Boost chaining
• Super Jumps

If you have beaten the offline time road rule on Watt St. and didn't get the achievement you also need to beat the online time road rule.

To avoid any problems with this achievement make sure you do the offline time road rule on Watt St. before any other road rules on this street. If you have done any other road rules on Watt St. you also need to beat the online time road rule.

I'm not sure whether or not this is a glitch with the achievement or an inaccurate achievement description. Hopefully this will be fixed in a patch.

Edit: This has now been patched.

I you want to cancel any offline event in Burnout Paradise just stop your car. The event will end automatically after about 5 seconds.

If you only want to play Offline and do not want the version 1.6 update, events can not be restarted. If you feel that you will not be able to win the event you can either race to the finish or just stop your car for about 5 seconds and the event will end automatically. Sometimes it might actually pay off finishing the event even though it feels like you will lose. The AI might crash or take a “wrong” turn and you could end up winning.

1. Do another event. There is almost always another event going back to the same area that you started the original event.
2. Do a Road Rage or Stunt Run and take it in the same direction as the start of the original event. Remember that you decide where to go!
3. Do Road Rules when you are driving back to the event.
4. Do a Show Time and take it in the same direction as the start of the original event.

If you have beaten the offline Showtime road rule on East Crawford Drive and didn't get the achievement you also need to beat the online time road rule.

To avoid any problems with this achievement make sure you do the offline Showtime road rule on East Crawford Drive before any other road rules on this street. If you have done any other road rules on East Crawford Drive  you also need to beat the online Showtime road rule.

I'm not sure whether or not this is a glitch with the achievement or an inaccurate achievement description. Hopefully this will be fixed in a patch.

The quickest and easiest way to access the map (on XBOX 360) is by pressing the BACK button.

A road rule is a online or offline ShowTime record or Time record for a street. To be able to set a road rule the first thing you must do is activate the type of road rule you want to set. There are basically 4 different choices:

This achievement description: "King of the Road! Awarded for getting ahead of all 5 rivals in an online lobby!"

To get the achievement you need to be in a full lobby (6 players). I does not matter if the race is ranked or unranked. You must have at least one takedown on all the 5 players in the lobby (green triangle). If you get this during a race you will only get the achievement when you return to the lobby after all the races have completed. If someone quits out on the way back to the lobby you will not get the achievement.

One important thing to note is that you can get this achievement without racing at all. If you are in a lobby with 4 other players that you have takedowns on you will get the achievement if another player joins (the 5th) and you have takedowns against that player.

No. This must be done online in a ranked or unranked race or road rage.

1. First check how many downloads you need to get into the top 20. If it is just after midnight (GMT) on the 25th it should be less than 50.

2. Create a short clip so that it is quick to download. Share it.

3. You need a second gamertag. Create a new silver account or just create a free trial Gold membership.

4. Add yourself as a friend to the second gamertag.

5. Go to 'Friend's Clips' on the secondary gamertag and download your clip.

6. When the clip is finished downloading but before it starts playing press your XBOX Guide button and sign out. You will be thrown back to the Burnout start screen.

7. Sign in again with the secondary profile and repeat from step 5.

8. When you have enough downloads sign in with your primary profile.

9. IMPORTANT! You now need to go to the "Top 20 Clips". If your clip is on there you will get the "Celebrity Status" achievement!

10. Now unshare your clip to make it easier for everyone else to get the achievement as well! Good luck!

No. Burnout Revenge for the original XBOX and Burnout Revenge for the XBOX are not compatible.

1. Your time is not in the top 3000 in the world for that track. If your time is not good enough it will show up as a -. Also not that lap times for player matches (unranked matches) does not register on the online leaderboards.

2. If you know for sure that your time is in the top 3000 your time is not showing because of a bug in Burnout Revenge. This problem affects both the online leaderboards and your best time that is shown when a track is loading. For some players the lap times just disappear or never register at all.

Criterion claims that there are no known bugs with this feature. BurnoutAholics.com can however confirm that there is a bug with this feature and that lap times sometimes just disappear and never show again. If you are lucky your time might have registered on the offline leaderboard.

There are six different “online” leaderboards in Burnout Revenge. Race Ranking is the rank that is your overall ranking and is based on ELO. The higher ELO the lower the rank.

ELO is a rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess and Go. ELO is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Arpad Elo (1903–1992), a Hungarian-born American physics professor.

ELO was originally invented as an improved chess rating system although it is used in many games today. It is also used as a rating system for competitive multi-player play in a number of computer games. For more information on ELO go to wikipedia.org
