Planks and Mozzies, doing the race for the kid fan, having to beat Leroy and do 4 backflips and upside for 3 seconds. I just can't seem to do it. Any tips/pointers?

When I have some trouble with a challenge, I run it through and first see what I do just playing normally. For instance, I suspect that a normal run with nothing special at all will meet your air-time requirement, so its probably not even a factor to concern yourself with. Are you having trouble beating Leroy at all in a normal run (dont worry about flips, etc)? If you do have trouble, you may need to learn a better path, or consider upgrading your bike (for character missions, using the Jackal/Mantis/Berzerker set of bikes is almost always best to use and focus upgrades on).

When you make a run, how many backward flips are naturally part of the way you approach it, and are there any places you can do a flip without really affecting your overall speed? All of that said, watch the clock when Leroy crosses the line, and then go find a ghost to play against who can beat that by .3 seconds or so. Watch what they do and see if you can do it too. That extra time... thats time you can use to do those extra flips somewhere along the way.

You get the idea; break it down to see where your issues are, and then work to improve them.
