Vehicle Challenges

Start	Get on the parked BMX in Glen Park, a Mountain Bike on top of Mount Chiliad, or the NRG-500 at the Easter Basin dry dock
Opens after	In the Beginning
Needed for 100%	The BMX Challenge, all three Chiliad races and the NRG-500 Challenge
Rewards	$1,000 for the BMX and NRG-500 challenges, $500, $1,000 and $2,000 for the three Chiliad races

Three small challenges on two wheels count toward 100%. Two of them are timed coin-grabs inside a closed arena, and the third is a downhill bike race on Mount Chiliad. None of them is long, but each one rewards a bit of practice, and the bicycle ones are far easier once your cycling skill is high.

BMX Challenge

The BMX Challenge is at Glen Park Skate Park in Los Santos. Climb on the parked BMX inside the park with cycling skill of at least 20% and the timer starts after a short cutscene. Collect all 19 coronas before the clock runs out. Every corona adds 10 seconds, so the key is to keep moving and take the nearest one each time. Finishing pays $1,000.

You can start with only 20% skill, but several coronas sit high on the ramps and are only reachable with a full-height bunny hop. Build your cycling skill up first, then come back.

The Chiliad Challenge

The Chiliad Challenge is a set of three downhill Mountain Bike races. Ride to the top of Mount Chiliad in Whetstone and get on the parked Mountain Bike during the day. You need a cycling skill of at least 40%. Win the first race to unlock the second, and win the second to unlock the third. All three routes end at the same finish zone at the foot of the mountain near Angel Pine.

Course	Checkpoints	Prize	Notes
Scotch Bonnet Yellow Route	18	$500	Shortest and steepest, with tight 180 degree bends
Birdseye Winder	31	$1,000	Longer, with straights where you can sprint into the lead
Cobra Run	21	$2,000	Starts midway down on a narrow trail with a jump, only two rivals

Do not shoot at the other riders. That fails the race and gives you a one-star wanted level. Brake before the hairpins and sprint sparingly, because the dirt has little grip. If you fall off the track the game puts you back where you left it.

NRG-500 Challenge

This one is at the dry dock in Easter Basin, San Fierro. Sit on the parked NRG-500 and you have only 10 seconds to start with. Collect all 18 coronas in the dock, and each one adds 10 seconds. The route is mostly a loop of ramps and gaps, so look ahead for the next corona before you pass the current one. Winning pays $1,000.

If you fall off, get back on within the time shown. If you fail, another NRG-500 appears at the dock after a while, or you can park your bike where it started, step off and get back on to try again. After the challenge you can keep the bike.

Tips

Do the cycling challenges after you have trained your cycling skill, either by riding around the city or on a stationary bike. See stats for how skills build, and the 100% checklist for the full list of what is needed. For other timed driving jobs, try races and stadium events.
