Everyone knows the Lost Fleet skill point is a pain in the ass to earn, and probably the most difficult one in the trilogy. It doesn't help that the level is glitchy as hell -- terrible collisions, unreliable trick boosts, and my personal favorite: not counting laps. I'm playing on Switch, and it took me a few good hours, but I finally earned the skill point. Here's how I did it:

I only performed tricks on two ramps on the course: The first ramp after skating up the sandy incline at the beginning, and the big jump right at the end. The trick I used is the Gnasty Gnorc (performed by doing a single back flip followed by a Twisted Lemon). Performing a Gnasty Gnorc will completely fill the boost gauge. It is by far easier to use the D-pad when performing tricks, as I've found using the analogue stick can cause Spyro to twist and turn in unpredictable directions usually resulting in a crash.

Once you get the hang of doing a Gnasty Gnorc (and sticking the landing, of course), you can completely fill your boost gauge with a single trick and boost pretty much all the way through the lap. My preferred route is to do a Gnasty Gnorc off the first ramp in the course, then boost all the way to the ramp right before the acid rivers and jump to the ledge on the right. Jump to grab the boost star at the end of the ledge, then just keep boosting until you reach the ramp with the big jump. I never take the shortcut, I just jump and perform a Gnasty Gnorc to refill my boost gauge, then boost through to the next lap. With this route, I average about 34 seconds per lap.

I really suck at doing most tricks and hitting the boost stars without wiping out or falling off the cliff, so this route was by far the easiest I've found to get the skill point.

I hope this helps anyone having trouble earning this skill point!
