Watch some of the top replays of those levels, once you learn how people make those jumps, the extreme levels get a lot easier. Most of the time its a matter of knowing when to let off the gas or shift your body back and forth to get that extra hop.

I am horrible, but it's so much fun 
So, besides one or two tracks with a fault, I've been getting no fault golds for every track, then I got to Gigatrack. I spent almost an hour on this stupid track before I got fed up. Decided to just keep going, 29 faults and bronze *sigh*. Track is to fucking long and whoever designed it needs to be punched. It's completely out of place length wise.
I took your advice. I didn't think it would help me much because what I saw was basically what I was trying and failing to do, but I was somehow finally able to get past it. Not sure if it was the replays or dumb luck.

I enjoy gigatrack, and it is quite easy, yet I always lose concentration and fuck up somewhere. Usually on the first pole vault type jump.
On multiplayer? just setup a private match and invite them.
OK, and if I receive an invite what do I do? There some sort of 'join invited race' option?
Gigatrack is awesome. It reminds me a little of the Ultimate Endurance tournament in HD. No difficult obstacles, but still easy to get faults.

Beat it with no faults earlier but was 14 seconds off a platinum. Still top-1000 at least. Definitely hear you when you say it's like UE, feels that way to me too. It's not about skill as much as it is about sustained concentration
I have been struggling to get the no fault tournament achievement. I feel close-ish, I usually get to the 4th or 5th track before I fault. Not nearly as difficult as the Ultimate Endurance from HD, but still nicely challenging.
I haven't figured out how to get the Lab on fire achievement yet, the pool near the end is tough to get past without being extinguished.

Here's how to do it:
1. Wait at the start until the water pipe falls off.
2. Before the pool of water, get lots of air and go above on of the pipes, thus not triggering the pool to fill with water.

Woo! Everything done except Extreme...and it's way too late in Europe for that agony right now. So like a total sucker I'm going back to HD and buying DLC so I can play more mellow stuff! Right now I would basically give RedLynx free access to my bank account.
Edit: Wow, I didn't realize how different the physics are. All the bikes in HD are basically twice as heavy as they are in Evolution. And the levels have some beautiful lighting work that's basically completely gone in Evo.

Totally disagree, it's an awesome track to chill out on and have some fun. Best track in the game IMO.

yeah i really wished all the previous skill games got an update as well, so far i liked Trials HD skill games a lot better then Evo's, hill climb, plus the trailer one and the jump/bailout one were all great
Yes, more or less. You have a slightly curved rollercoaster track attached to your bike, and you have to keep the marble it's holding from falling off.

edit: oh, do you mean as a user-created track?
Yeah, I'm hoping somebody more talented at track creation than me can create a near-exact replica of the game from HD
On another note, I hate when glitchers ruin the leaderboards for certain tracks or skill games. The barrel ball skill game from Track Central is fun, but checking the top 2 replays (I didn't check any further), they both use some glitch where they get the ball to fly through the ramp and into the bottom of the barrel (so not actually going into the barrel as is the aim of the skill game). Ah well.
Edit: Just noticed there's an updated version of barrel ball
Biggest problem here Gowan is that the creator is allowed to vote so as soon as they put a 5 star it goes straight to the top. If 3 different people voted 5 first then maybe that wouldn't be so bad but anyone can vote on theirs first to get it in the spotlight if just to get a few downloads before people vote honestly.
What RedLynx need to do is have a 'New Additions' for tracks with both no downloads and no votes. 10 people might download the track and never finish it so they won't be able to vote, but after a day or two the track is removed from the 'New Additions' section. $0.02

Haha oh man no problem I was wondering what was taking you so long tho.
At first I thought Gigatrack sucked, but after a few tries I started to like it. It was kinda therapeutic to breeze through it a few times while listening to some Ayreon. My first faultless run was just 4 seconds over the platinum limit. Then I switched to the 450 cc bike and got the medal almost immediately. Made many jumps and generally not falling over easier, but that's the case with most of the beginner-medium tracks.
I've now platinumed almost every track, only five extremes are remaining. I really like the hard tracks: they are technical and still easy enough to try to get good times on without worrying too much about getting stuck.

I seriously need some help with Extreme! I've read all tips posts in the thread so far and I've learned some from them and a lot from practice. I've gotten my skills up to the point where I can handle most of the things Extreme throw at you with a reasonable amount of retries... Except all this 90 degree shit.
What I just really can't handle and what just completely destroys my brain is when they do something like... Bunny hop, almost 90 degree angle, bunny hop in the middle of it and then something assholish like a crate in the way at the top. I can't even begin to wrap my head around it and it's kinda depressing me because I haven't been so bad at anything in a game probably ever!
Best example I have is from Trials HD since that's what I played tonight:

1:02. How does he lift his back tire so smoothly when he gets up on it? Why doesn't his bike just fly off to the left, or go into a full wheelie, when he lands on the boxes, like mine does? If I try to feather or accelerate slowly, I'll just slide off or fall backwards. Same for full throttle. How does he fly up on the second box when it looks like he doesn't bunny hop?

I love this game so much, really might be one of my favourite games this year (so far at least).
Red Lynx have improved on everything....and the damn leaderboards, I'm addicted!

yeah, it's easy overall, I just fuck up somewhere stupid. I got it down to 1 fault and the gold time, so I will have to go back to improve that.
Added.
Might as well bring my out my GT if people want more competition: LeeroyPinkerton.
