No it's a 'Flying code'. Well, it says flying, but all it does is lift Spyro in the air, and moving direction breaks it completely. In YOTD, you can just glide over without ever getting lower, plus his jump is doubled.

If you can use a save state, I can get you one of those if you'd like!

Is it the level warp code? Or another code?

Haha, I've done it in a majority of Ripto's Rage levels, and about half of YOTD's levels. The code is different there, so it's harder to perform without water in the level.

So you have done it in a lot of the levels, so many, that it's hard to remember? That's impressive!

I can't actually remember. Later, I might even check each level to find out which one it was.

Yeah, sometimes the game does freeze unfortunately I believe it's happened to me and a few other people who try it a few times. I usually try again, though there's one level I just can't get working myself >>;

Ok.
(but I couldn't watch the video. aaaaargh! I'm so sick of that I can't watch youtube videos!)

I tried to reach the collision free version of Summer Forest today, after I found out how to swim in air by being zapped by Zoe underwater and glide to the edge of the level and fall down, but the game froze after some minits

How did you get to the one in Fracture Hills? (I may be wrong, but) I can't remember any water in that level.

No, you're right, there isn't. I got to the level by using a pec code to get up there -

I have one for Dragon Shores planned, but I still haven't got around to making the clip yet.

Slapping it 10 minutes away wouldn't make sense for an engine. You'd need to make the frustrum much wider than needed and therefore would require more memory. It would make more sense to put it just out of eyeshot and "loading shot", meaning the bubble that surrounds Spyro inwhich objects load when the come into view when he nears them, when the enter the bubble. You can notice this when gliding from far pertches. As objects get closer, their detail increases, because the bubble has entered the loading shot, or frustrum. I don't know what the use of a collision free version of the level would be. I would think that would be an unnecessary use of polygons and loading...unless they are needed for the in-game cutscenes.
