I've made a video on how to complete this achievement:
Darkmoon Faire Achievement: [Big Rocketeer: Gold]Text from description:
On this track the Power Ups change between the springs that bounce you forward, the teleporter that shoots you forward and the rocket that shoots you up in the air, they cycle around in the order: Spring -> Teleporter -> Rocket. There are 2 rockets you need to take and wait for them to spawn if you have to.
The first rocket you need to take is at 0:16, save the Boosters -Button 1- so you get momentum forward to get on the the ledge, then run up to the highest point and press the Giant Leap -Button 2- to get passed the wall and up to the first banner.
The second rocket is at 1:12, wait for it as I did and use the Giant Leap when you're close to the top.
(You can skip the part from 1:38 and go straight for the finish line)
When you're in the air towards the finish just press 1 and 2 as they come off cooldown.
