Backflip or Frontflip

[Crucify]

I'm not even close to doing either but just looking for your opinion on what you like doing/seeing more.

bigger jump ==> backflip

smaller jump ==> frontflip

Don't get full rotation on front flip means you'll land on your back/ass

Don't get full rotation on backflip means you'll land on neck

Front flip requires less balls (in my opinion) but once you get backflips down I feel that they are easier.

In my opinion backies look better and are more fun as well.

 

[jd_1260]

Front flips definately less scary.

 

[Willskiforfree]

Front flips = super easy not that fun

Backflips = a little less easy and pretty much the funnest trick

 

[SteezOnSkis12]

Do this.

100% agree. I've done both and I am still sketched out by frontflips. They're very easy to underrotate in which case you have a painful back landing or extreme shinbang. I learned front flips first and initially found them less scary than backies but now I prefer backies.

Thats how my first front flip was, until I realized that knees could bend I was folding in half, bad pic but you get the concept, what ever you do op do not do what I did.

Backflips takes more balls but you can spot your landing, front flip less balls.
