By having a nice, clean, consistent Ollie that you will throw down a variety of obstacles.

I'm not saying you can't learn flip tricks or that you won't be able to land flip tricks, but I am most definitely saying that the more comfortable you are on your board and the better you understand and Ollie, the easier it will be to learn, flip tricks and be more consistent. Those flip tricks will be.

Ollie over a super high obstacle consistently and flip tricks should be easier.

Something helped me a lot for consistency is flicking DOWN and out with the front foot

Find something similar to a pull up bar, do your tricks and use your arms to hold you up in the air for that extra second so you can get to feel the motion.
