Time Stamps:
00:00 - Failing "Beat the Cock!" whilst obtaining the AP (All Proof) Mountain Bike
03:55 - Proving the AP Properties and showing off the AP Mountain Bike
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, Mobile, and Definitive Edition since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video.
The "Beat the Cock!" Triathlons unlock after passing "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" and are always available from that point forward, however, they are only active on IN-GAME WEEKENDS! You will NOT find a Red Marker here unless it's Saturday or Sunday, in-game, and you're beyond Yay Ka-Boom-Boom.
Note that there is TWO "Beat the Cock!" Triathlons located in San Andreas. They are NOT required for 100% and WILL affect the Stats. You do NOT have to complete BOTH of them to safely obtain the AP Mountain Bike, though. Just pass the one I am using in the Video and afterward, obtain the AP Mountain Bike without having an extra Mission Attempt be added to the Stats. Without passing it first, you will get a Mission Attempt! It's totally recommended to focus on THIS Triathlon shown in the Video as it's MUCH shorter. The other Triathlon is over 20 minutes in length to complete!
These Triathlons seem to give the player an unfair advantage. Want to swim super fast, beyond the opponent's? Use the Jetpack! The Jetpack isn't a Vehicle and rather a Pickup and because of this, you can leave said Jetpack near the Red Marker and after going into it, it will NOT vanish and be there once the Triathlon begins. You can use it to "fly" through each Red Marker making it to the Mountain Bike's MUCH quicker. You can also use the nearby Raindance Helicopter that spawns on the Santa Maria Beach, too.
Strangely enough, the Properties work kind of different on the AP Mountain Bike. ANY Bike (not MOTORCYCLE) in San Andreas can't exactly be destroyed by bullets, crashing, explosions, or fire, however, CJ would still be vulnerable! For instance, if you have an explosion happen right next to CJ whilst he's sitting on this AP Mountain Bike, nothing would happen. He seems to catch on fire when driving through flames, but it does no damage to the Mountain Bike itself and this is actually the OPPOSITE of what happens when driving anything else that is FP. You would just pass through the flames, like they didn't exist. But on this AP Mountain Bike, the flames will touch CJ as shown in the Video. It's sort of strange. In the end, only the EP Property has any value on it, basically.
There is an INFERIOR FP Mountain Bike found in the "Chiliad Challenge" in case you want to see it - youtube.com/watch?v=JeUWVOd3ids
The Mountain Bikes featured in the Mission have Traffic Default Colors and change upon reloading the Mission. None of them are special.
I am recording this Video on PCSX2 Version 1.6.0. Game Version is SLUS-20946 (Version 1.03) of GTA San Andreas for PS2.
