 I'm sure I could knock that down a bit, but I really do have better things to do. Unfortunately, they're all really boring

Well, with a broken ankle, I really don't have a lot of better things to do, so I've been working hard at it.
Can't get better than 16 though.....

Day 1 - Just do normal jump should get $17 Day 2 - Buy 1 accelerator and get the distance challenge - should get $52 Day 3 - Buy the Hang glider - get Height + Time challenge - this unlocks 10' ramp - approx $100. Day 4 - Buy 2x Acceleration 1x Ramp height and 1x Air resistance - get Height + Time challenge on 10' ramp - approx $320. Day 5 - Buy Rocket and 2x ramp height - do the last 5' challenge for speed. This is how i'm currently doing the first 5 days, although, it is tricky to get Height + Time challenge together on days 3 & 4.

Interesting. I have a slightly different method, but I can't remember to post it until I do it, if you know what I mean. I'll pop back in a bit.

Ok, try this:
Day 1 - $17 - Buy acceleration #1 Day 2 - bounce twice on the water and get $25 for the jump and $25 for 40' challenge = $52, so buy first glider Day 3 - Pull up hard off the ramp and go for the 10' height challenge, make a bell curve with your trajectory and you should clear $40-$48 + $25 for height challenge. Buy acceleration #2 and #1 height and drag. Day 4 - You'll hit 45mph immediately off the ramp, so just glide as long as you can. In my example that's $73 + $50 for the speed and time challenges. Take acceleration up to #3 and height to #2. Day 5 - 10' ramp pull up sharp on take off until you stall, then nosedive and pull up at the last minute to maintain for as long as possible. That got me $153 + $200 for height and time challenges.

My main sticking point is the 225mph limit. It sometimes takes me several goes  :edit: scrub that, got the hang of it now  If you do the height challenge, then nose-dive flat out it works every time

Go up initially then burn your rockets with 0% air resistence (i try to get his tummy skimming the water to spice it up a bit). (but then again my best score is 23 so perhaps there's a better technique for the speed challenge, i got height speed and time in one go once, that was fun.)

Well I thought I'd fluked it with that 16 before, but I've just completed another one!  Managed the 6000ft without full drag, just top everything else.
