Flat ground jump and spin

I know there have been threads on this before, how big of a rotation can you do on flat jumping up?  Well anyway I was stumbling through videos and came across this Soviet "breakdance" video.
Fast forward to 1:38 and watch the guy jump and spin, any idea how big he is spinning each jump?  Looks like 720 to me, that's crazy on it's own, but the fact he does it 14 or 15 times.... crazy.  Someone should try to repeat this and make a video of the failure that will commence. 

There is also some other crazy shit like spinning on their knees and the bent down foot kicking... things.
Here's the link just incase that embed doesn't work http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=9dtpof17mu

I saw a youtube video not to long ago of some martial arts guy doing a cork 10... it was rediculous.  He took like 2 steps, used his leg for momentum, and then cork 10'd and landed back on his feet.  Crazy shit.

Get them on a trampoline with out bounce, and then just do it on a hill,preferably into long grass/something a bit soft. easiest ones are front flips(but quite hard to land) and lincolns like run step 90 and use your momentum to flip you.
iv only ever done front flips though properly on flat land, and that was on a hill.
