Get a PCJ, wheelie into a solid object (fence/wall/pole, etc..), right at impact hit the F/Enter key which bails you off the bike. Then right after, repeatedely smash on the F/Enter (either one) key until you get back on in mid-air. Takes some practice, and to me it's more of a glitch rather than a stunt. Just doesn't appeal to me, though you do what you want.

I vaersion of AG's in SA are possible. Watch zidanes video the very first stunt to be more precise. And no, that stunt wasn't glitched or a cheat/mod. It was legit.

if tommy wont jump off thats sometimes because your still accelerating remove your finger from forwards and it should be fine.although this is still only part of it as you still have to time it and get lucky with a good flip or something.

i know i dont have my finger on the accelerator as i am tapping both enter and e (both get on and off) as i can get more taps in the air :d

ok iv nearly got it three times, but tommy doesnt get on the bike untill its hit the floor. when is the best timing to first get off the bike?
and does anyone know of any good spots to do them?
iv been trying them around the building site near the police station on the firts island.

you night just need more height which is why you hit the ground first try adjusting the angle of your bike on contact.

it not the height its when tommy goes to get back on the bike is on its side and he has to drag it up first and by the time hes done that its hit the floor

go here (http://www.gtastunting.com/forums/index.php?showt opic=4705) copy the air grab instructions exactly it will probably take a while to do but you might get lucky and do it first time.hope this helps i think its just bad luck that the bike is upside down and air grabs still look ok if the bike flips on impact with the ground.untill you get used to them air grabs are a matter of luck im still not used to it and i put in endless hour of practice with very little to show for it.

@Bucket:
If I am not wrong, there is a feature included in San Andreas that lets you record like 30 secs of video but I believe there are not in a standard video format (mpeg, avi etc) but go to www.fraps.com and download fraps, it leaves a watermark but it's the best in the business plus it's free.
Hope this helps!!:)

fraps (http://www.fraps.com) is what you need buckethead

you can use the newest one which has "fraps.com" on every clip, i use the older version where there isnt anything on the clips, but you cant have full resolution to use it

yea iv been there, you gave me the link before iv been following it and iv got it once, and nearly 5 or six times. thats for that its really usefull, i also downloaded the video tutor thing which is also a massive help as it gives step by step instructions while showing a clip of the stunt

i think to make a excelent video you dont just need good stunts, you need good camera angles, good music, and good editing aswell.
sometimes really hard to do

You're right, i hate videos made with windows movie maker... And intro with camera hack is great addition.
