Use the jump button at spots where the ground
angles down, often you can get enough air to do a
flip on pretty level ground.
Use your
momentum no matter which way it's
spinning.
To speed up your flip, do a grab,
so to slow down your spin after several flips,
release your grab.
Often try to jump and do
a flip about 3-6inches (of screen space) before a
cliff/jump because that way you can do a double or
triple instead of one less.
