Ok, for all of us who are stuck on this nightmare challenge I have a solution, and it dose NOT involve 540's or triple flips.

When you start the challenge you'll notice that all of the movable objects nearby vanish, but surely not every object in San Vanelona.

Quit the challenge and venture up the giant spillway. Near the huge drainage pipe you'll see a steel bike rack just like the one you have to jump over in the challenge. Grab that sucker and drag it all the way back to the challenge area.

If you've moved the pic-nic table make sure you reset it. Drag the rack and put it up against and in front of the table.

Start the Challenge

Though the rack may not appear for Eric Kostons first attempt, it will for Mike Carrols. From here on you'll be able to clear the rack like it's not even there but Eric and Mike will simply "Trick Out Of Bounds" allowing you to get past this challenge once and for all.

I hate to say it, but that's pretty clever. I thought about doing something like this but never got around to trying it.

You've probably made a bunch of people's day right there.

nice find. i guess. not like i'll need to do that though. i beat the girl challenge the other day. used a few 540's though. It just takes patience. well...until now.lol

dosent work for me...

does this only work for ps3? cuz its seriously dosent work for 360

Make sure there's a little space between the picnic bench and the rail you've dragged all the way down the spillway, but make sure you can get over it!

it worked now, thanks

540 footplant method worked first try for me. kickflip 360, footplant, 180. Registers as 540 kickflip.
