Here is a good tip for doing front flips in vice city.
1. the most effective jumps for flips are those cement jumps, here is a picture:

so find one of these =)
2. ever noticed how you see in stunt videos how when someone is taking a run up in a pcj, and how it looks like
there head is bobbing very slightly and facing down? what they are doing is increasing the speed of how fast you
can go with the pjc by a great amount. if you don't know what i'm talking about, have a look in my video:
GTA Stunts: Vice City vs San Andreas Part 1
Jump to 1:38, and watch when the person on the pcj is going down the straight, the head is bobbing a bit?
You can achieve this by repeatedly pressing the button that makes you push forward as if you want to do a stoppie,
the default key is Numpad 9. tap it, don't hold it in. tap it about once every quarter to half a second, so relevantly fast but not berserk.
you will then notice a great increase in speed =) allowing you to get a hell of alot of air time.
3. so back to the front flip, find your cement jump, and make sure it has a decent run up. a perfect example would be the
rump that clears the bridge near the police station, and the run up starts from club malibu (all grass run up).
place your pcj as far s you can without allowing yourself to turn, and then start accelerating. try hitting top speed
by taking the advice i told you in step 2.
as you are closing in on the jump (around 2 to 3 meters) hold in default key numpad 9 (the stoppie key) as hard as you can, and
just before you hit the jump put as much angle left (or right). when you hit air just keeping holding in numpad 9 and left until you have
completed your front flip, now for the landing =)
4. as you start coming down, prepare to land your back wheel first. the better the timing, the better the outcome, and
its basically up to you and how you do it.
okay, so your about to hit the ground and you need to try and hit down with your back wheel first, to do this hold down
the button for which you do wheelies with (default key is numpad 6)
if you have timed this perfect, you will land perfectly =)
here is an example in my newest video (which i entered in a $100 comp) the gaps of liberty city
GTA Stunts: The Gaps of Liberty City
Jump to about 2:49, notice as i am about to land i prepare my back wheel before it hits the ground?
hope you enjoyed by tut =)
