I've been searching for lips or edges I can e-brake off to roll but no luck so far.

Anyone have tips on where they got this done, and what vehicles would be optimal?

Speed seems to be key here. I got close to 5 flips by hitting various ramps throughout the game but, I didn't get the achievement until I started beating the crap out of my car on the yellow runway "Caution Your Blast" markers at the airport. And even this was a stretch. I swear I counted more than 5 flips several times, but this achievement was kind of stubborn for me. Sounds like it unlocks as low as 3 flips for some people, but not for me. Try to get up to full speed and smack the edge of the marker with your wheel. Corkscrew spins seemed to be the most effective (versus head over heels flips, or helicopter spins using the e-brake)

I did it at the air strip after a few try's. I spawned a supergt and went from one end of the run way all the way to the last set of yellow jump things in the grass and hit it on kinda an angle on my front left tire. I got like 7 flips. hopefully this helped.

It seems impossible. Might be buggy too. I rolled it like 7 times once and it didn't count it. But when I rolled it like 3 then spun a little bit it unlocked.

Have you tried getting in a chopper and flying to the top of a high building and spawning a car up their and the e-braking off the side?

Is that how you got it JD? I think I read in another post it wouldn't unlock when someone tried that. So I assumed that wouldn't work. I was just wandering if it can be achieved that way.

No i got mine at the airport in a comet.

I dont know if this method worked all i know is when i did it at the airport the rolls i did were in the air not rolls on the ground so i thought that it would work,

Its ok i just hope i can help. Just a quick question about the airport attempts. ow are yo hitting the jumps. Are you e-braking into the jump of are yo hitting the jump with only the left or right side of the car so half the car misses the ramp making you do a barrel roll?

I hope that makes sense

The faster the better, but ive seen videos of people do it in a taxi, its what ever you fell comfortable in and can control well. I did 8 rolls in a comet

Yeah, i think people didnt know that you could do barrel rolls in the air. And i think some just didnt know how to hit the jumo right.

I hope it help the others that were confused

In response to the guy asking what does the official guide say....it pretty much says to do the same thing that the guy in the video does. Get a fast car and go to the airport.

Its the 4 star wanted level that about irks me...its hard enough doing the jump...then you got to dodge cops and shat.
