I tried to get the backflip sub achievement and apparently it doesnt count if you land on the roof.
I was in the los muertos garage in the agency suv - I ran up the wall that has the opening on top and did a back flip and landed neatly on the roof. No achievement - do you need to land on pavement or back where you started?

Volk are a fair amount easier than the Shai-Gen. Also the buildings are tailored to lower agilities. There is no way someone with a 0 or 1 star in agility could maneuver the Shai-Gen landscape very easily compared to the Muertos.

In the Agency Hub, there are doors for 1, 2, and 3 - that's the order you are encouraged to tackle the areas in.
Though I got a buttload of kills in the basement of the main Shai Gen tower before I'd even seen the Volk territory. Didn't go too far though, since I had a 0.0% chance of beating it
I need to find a Firefly. I've got the Hothead but I need some heatseeker action.

It probably has to be a freefall back flip so you do a 360 degree rotation. If you are flipping off a wall you are only doing 270 degrees.

To get a stunt in a vehicle to count and/or get driving points, you need to land on your wheels.
If you do a roll or flip, you will see a little message at the top that says "1x left barrel roll" or whatever stunt you did.

Each tunnel also has a different color light in it.

BUT... the doors are locked until you actually drive to those areas to "unlock" them.

Yeah, I just noticed the doors the other night. Now I almost always spawn in the Agency tower, pick up a Supercar and head out.

Phew!!
I just found my last agility orb. It was on the rocks behind the Sports Complex on Los Muertos area.
I swear I checked all over the entire map multiple times, including that area.
I'm so fricking happy to be done hunting for that last orb. It has been driving me crazy the past few days.
Now, to find the last 34 hidden orbs.

Well done. I'm still a good 150 orbs away from that Achievement -- but at this point, I'm still finding them as I wander the city. I'm sure finding the last few is going to be a real beast.

I tried throwing my buddy in a car through some of the stunt rings. Man, that's tough. The ones that are low are easy, but if they are higher and there isn't a place to get a running jump start, then you are screwed.

Seriously, I wasn't ever starting in the Keep either, but once I realized that you get a free fast car, weapon pickups and an area that is smack dab in the middle of the map, it has become my location of choice.

And the nice thing about all the orbs I found, I didn't use one of those online guides at all.. I found just about all of them myself, with a small portion with friends pointing them out when I was in a game with them. It was more of a "hey, I found an orb, do you have it?" And I'd go look. I did the same thing when I found one.
I'm hoping to find the remaining hidden orbs by this weekend. Then I just have a couple achievements left in the game to get the full 900 points. Then, I can't wait for the DLC to come out to have more missions or whatever they throw in it.

What kinds of additions is everyone wanting for the expansion?
I want to see:
- a rooftop race spanning all four islands. Start at the top of the Agency tower, swim to Muertos, hop on some roofs, then swim to the Volk and Shai-Gen areas and then ending the race back at the top of the Agency tower.
- not a fan of the car races, so no more of those
- a few new bosses would be cool
- new orbs to find even though I'm maxed out
