It's not a piece of cake. you just have to have the right atmosphere.

I finally got it

There was a thunderstorm yesterday, and I was like 'hey, I should go to the Thunder Plains. Thunder, thunder, right? '

So my dad was in there to distract me and keep me from psyching myself out and I dodged 100 in a row, then dodged another 100 and a few more and got the suckerXD

I still have my doubts about being able to do chocobo racing.
