helps if your going really big. If there's no fear, (tech stuff), it
doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

I know that (atleast when I saw him) Xav' doesn't catch flips early, I
think he is just really ballsy.

As for tips... I really don't know. Try to jump higher in the flip
maybe. So you finish the flip higher up.

That didn't help much at all did it?

Well, I cant do much of the flip tricks, but I can crankflip.

I just look at it this way, I can crankflip on flat, jumping, kicking
the pedals, getting the rotation and landing. All of that happens in
about a blink of an eye. Its a fast process.

When I am going off a ledge or set, mind you I have only gone up to a 3
set so far, so nothing big, I think of the flip part just as I am doing
them on flat, but I just ride a little faster to clear the set.

So basically, just because you have more airtime to perform your stuff,
you should still treat it like your doing it on flat. =p

Thats what works for me.

Ask Mike Clark, lol. Check this out. For easyness, I went from a 5 set
flip (done months before, and haven't touched anything since), to an 8
set only a week after i learned to catch them early. You need to find
like a triple curb, or something, NO SET! You need to just jump up, not
out at first. Flip them kinda fast, and you are looking to catch the
back pedal at first. So you will pull it out in front of you alittle so
you can stick the BACK pedal, then snap the other foot on the pedal
before landing. Try into grass first, since you'll probably fall at
first. And make sure it's like a 15 inch drop. Imagine the best you can
that you are trying to catch it in an area right infront of you (above
the ground of course) and spot that pedal as they flip. FLIP FAST! Good
luck.

I learnt by holding onto a flat handrail with my spare hand. It gives
you a bit more time in the air. I guess you just need to pull up on the
handle really quickly.

Luca1wheel you are like me. You mount left foot and then jump left foot
forward. Isn't that annoying?
