Circus Clown Achievement Solved!
By Navi_101
So as many as of you know, this achievement is a pain in the ball. Now there is a video on Youtube that explains to get the achievement, you need to start at Hueca, and drive to the bridge where there is two waterfalls. Then with practice, using the stairs of the vehicle as a starting ramp, jump on the ball and roll with it. After trying it out, and failing at being able to do it in one go, I discovered an easier way to balance and get the distance you want in less the effort.

You just basically need a long enough flat area and a way to get on the ball. Once you are on top of the ball, put yourself near the edge of where you want to go, then while facing the ball, jump slightly backwards and pull the ball towards you for just a second. Then land back on the ball and roll the distance with it. This way, the ball will go slow enough for you to stay on and once its stops, just repeat until you get the achievement. :)

Happy Hunting

I got this really easily in the very first section of the game where you first find the ball. You can jump onto it from a balcony near the stairs that initially lead to the ball for the first time, then jump and use RMB to pull it slightly forward at a slow pace. Really easy achievement with that method

I got this easily in Portal level chamber 7 while putting the ball in the moving glass box, you can just stay on top of the ball there.

IMO the easiest method is the YT video. I did it under a few try.

Just wanted to say thank you for the help.

I used your method of jumping and pulling, on the Hueca map in the room with the big ugly worm and the electric generator. After the room fills with water the ball moves really slowly. I pulled it over to the edge of the ramp near the generator and jumped on top then just pulled it in a circle. Took five minutes. Easy. :approved:
