I don't know if this deserves it's own topic, but I felt like it was one of the tougher challenges, so I'm going to offer the best advice I can for it.
Anyway, I ride standard, so if you use goofy, you may have to tweak this a little.
Now the challenge requires you to do a 360 Flip to a FS Crooked. This is pretty easy once you get the technique down. Essentially, for any challenge that requires a grind, I move up extremely slow to where I have to grind. I give myself enough room so that my tail doesn't get clipped either.
Once you get situated by the block (I came from the same direction the challenge starts you off on, but on the right side of the clock instead), you need to perform a 360 Flip.
The 360 Flip will drive most people insane because if you do it wrong you do a varial kickflip or a pop shuv it. The most important thing is to start at about three o'clock for standard stance. If you start any lower or higher, you won't do it. When you get to about five o'clock, you want to push the right stick up fast. This should get you the 360 Flip.
Now once you get that down and you're near the block, the FS Crooked is simple. You want to push the right stick up about maybe about 2 o'clock.
I literally tried for an hour to beat this challenge. Once I realized that you need to start the 360 Flip about three o'clock to land it.
More advice: Thanks to Clockeye
I think an even easier way is to ollie on top of the block and set a session marker. Then you can just sit next to the edge barely rolling and do a 360 flip and just hold the left stick so you land in the fs crooked position. All you have to do is pretty much tap it.
Good luck!
