To land flips easier, start a flip as usual then press the Analog-stick the same way that you are flipping to make your boarder rush the flip. This helps when you are about to crash a flip. Also, if you are spinning and want to do a Misty 720, do a regular Misty then hold the Analog-stick in the same direction that you are spinning. You will gain an extra 180 without the game calling it a "Late 180".
