upgrade everything. go on the 50 ramp. make your angle 3%. rocket to 175 mph. when you reach 150 mph rocket to 175 again. you'll get the meduim badge then. hope it helps, try and keep this comment alive

To the people saying you can't beat the game in 1 day, it's not that hard. It's actually a pretty easy game. The only thing I haven't gotten so far is the 6000ft badge, and I started playing late last night before I got on Minecraft.

I love this game, and I don't know if it's just because it doesn't feel the same way about me or something but everytime I play it, something dies in the controls and it either boosts and points up without my say so, or points down with the boost without my say so, and I can't do anything about it. So annoying. Please fix it ^-^

For those of you struggling to get the hard badge, I found this day by day walkthrough forum posting from seryan in 2010 to be invaluable. I was able to get the hard badge after about 2 hours:

One way to increase speed and keep going is to do arc's. You get high and start to loose speed then you angle down ward and you'll pickup speed then pull up at the last second and you'll gain a huge speed boost. (this only works after getting the glider)

i actually dont agre with the hard being impossible. I didnt get the hard badje myself, but its the 2nd time im playing, and i managed to complete in 19 days. Every playtrough lasts +- 30min. It would be unfair for the other impossibles to have an impossible badje that can be done in a half hour. Just dont try to complete every achievement of the ramp you are in. As soon as the next ramp is available, do it. You win more money, buy more upgrades, get more money, etc. For the 50 ramp, you need all the achievements, but when you go back, its just too easy (and tough the money from the past achievements is now irrelevent, you still get money from the flight).

Medium achievement - 35' ramp, 2nd rocket, >1/2 of the rocket fuel --- launch and rocket straight up, then dive straight down = 154 mph

If your high enough and your losing speed then dive and when your close to the water go straight (it makes you bounce high), it takes practise but it's useful :)
