i think the best way to become more flexible is to keep working on your splits, mainly your center one (this will help for toe touches and other jumps) what you can do is do a straddle position where you split your legs and try to lean forward and really feel your muscles near your thighs. if you can lean your stomach onto the floor try rolling through your straddle postion. i would also recommend keep working on your splits and stretch them for atleast 5-10 minutes a day (this will really help) another good stretch would be to practice kicks or grab your foot and pull it up as if you were kicking. one of my favorites is i lay on my stomach and bend my knees and bring them closer to my body while trying to push them down into the floor
good luck with everything! =]
