im no expert as you see but i guess its just practice, i did however come off the power first in flight then hit the brakes.....and also with front flips but got on the power again in flight which seemed to kick the truck end over end...good luck and thanks for the comment.

Hey jdogg_js_here, thanks for your comment and to answer your question, yes i do have a home made roll-bar. It took only minutes to make and as you have seen it is very effective. Here are some pics i have just taken to show you, there made from steel flat bar....found it lying around and used some big washers etc...
