You have to do 25 flip tricks in the same combo to max out Flip. I have yet to max any of my stats, and I've been playing it a while.

The trick is in grinding. I've never EVER focused on air/lip tricks in any THPS game - there's no point value in em.
What you need to do is find a perpetual grind line. *Every* level has one. Set ALL of your specials to grind moves, and execute away. 3 million points, using that method, is cake.
What you do is just grind, as you're grinding, jump and flip, land w/ another grind. Repeat. When your special meter is full, land nothing but grind specials. Watch how fast your points/tricks rack up.
For example... Moscow in THUG, you can seriously just loop around the middle of the level (up on the bridge/tower-like structures) forever. My highest is.. probably like 10 million on that.
Or in the airport in THPS3 where the escalators are around the baggage claim, you can have a perpetual combo around something like that. I think I hit like 20-30 million on that one.
You skill many birds with one stone this way.
1. Constant grind to fill the "grind for x seconds" goal
2. Many many flip tricks to cover the "25 flips"
3. If there's a manual/caveman in the grind line, covers those
So on, so forth.
Personally, I think they should add an "extreme" mode.. one above "sick"
Maybe something like "Get 1 million points with just manual tricks" (like pogo hopping, etc..) that'd be a good challenge.
