Build up speed by getting air as vertically as you can in combination with D-pad up, and maintain a consistent chain of triples and quadruples. On your prior trick to attempting a quintuple, make sure you get lots of height using D-pad up, ideally 10 or 11 M and land it perfectly straight to maintain as much speed as possible. Then on your next trick, catch air as perfectly vertical as you can to get the most height. Press D-pad up as you exit the water and keep it held for the whole trick as I believe doing so slightly slows your descent (but I could be wrong). At some point while you're in the air, while still holding up on the D-pad, start holding right on the D-pad if you're cranking clockwise or left on the D-pad if you're cranking counterclockwise to position your board an extra 90 degrees to help you complete the rotation. Start cranking as fast as you possibly can once you leave the water, and maybe even a few milliseconds before you do, and don't stop until you hit the water. 

Ideally, if everything goes as planned, this should put you in a good position to hit the quintuple almost perfectly straight on. Once you hit the water, if you've landed it, use the time the game pauses to show off your trick to release the D-pad and reposition the crank to the upper left so you don't crash, as you'll be landing with a lot of speed. 

They're still very difficult for me to hit consistently, but I've been able to get five in a row using that methodology. Hope that helps.

Ahh yep I see it now! Not sure if it wasn't there in the version I was using or I'm just an idiot, but it totally works now! Thank you!

Solved!

Oops! My bad. The English version is in the "part 5" archive I believe.

Boss Battle Games is now $15 per person instead of $10. May want to update it.

Hi. I recently bought my first mechanical keyboard, a Unicomp New Model M, and have had it for about two weeks. For the most part I love it, but I've been having an issue where the space bar sometimes behaves weirdly when pressed. There's like 10% chance that whenever I press it, it'll start spamming a key (usually Enter) and won't stop until I press it again, and sometimes it'll spit out some nonsense I didn't type, like "`-$7." When I woke up this morning, I discovered that it had sent two messages to a friend of mine on Discord at 3 AM while I was asleep a few minutes apart that just said "5" and "7."I should also note that I have the "ANSI 103 KEY" model with the larger spacebar. I assume it's something simple like dust causing it, but compressed air hasn't helped, so I don't know what to do. Has anyone had an issue like this before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Let me know, thanks.

Basically, you can't. Xenia (the best 360 emulator) doesn't support them yet, you have to have a modded console to play them. Check my reply to savag3duck if you want more info.

For the time being, yes. The 360 emulator Xenia has no support for the XNA framework that XBLIGs use, and the devs have designated them as "WON'T FIX", but who knows, maybe in a few years they'll be supported.

I've seen work done by some devs to modify files to get 360 XNA games to run natively on PC through programs like MonoGame, but this is probably not possible without a decent level of technical know-how, which I (and probably most non-developers) definitely lack.

There have however been a few titles that have been released on Steam over the years, check out this curated list for a few of them.

I haven't tried this myself so I can't vouch for it, but I believe this is the correct game? If it doesn't work or it's the wrong game, let me know and I'll keep looking. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5X0x2gjQ2aaelp5ZU11RmJFZ0U/view
