Frontflip or Backflip?

[TheQuailman]

Which is harder and which has the greater chance to injure someone? And are frontflips easier to learn on small jumps or rollers/ tables?

 

[treebeard]

i'm not sure how to respond to this.i mean, is this a serious question? you've been on for over 3 years, and there's like a thread a week on this

When you say, "greater change to injure someone" you mean yourself or legitimately what is trick is more dangerous to the people around you?

frontflip harder backflip most scare

backflip are cool and easy to do but can be different for everybody

 

[dowalibeast]

backflips are easier

 

[TimmyP]

Malone gave me this advice on flips once: They are easy do do, but they are also easy to do wrong.

Check the search bar, and wait for a nice powdery day, build yourself a steep jump, and go for it. Confidence is key.

Shouldnt you be at Big Boulder right now hahaha? But dude when creek opens on wendsday we will try one of the two.

i'd say switch seven's have a pretty great chance to injure someone

haha. thats insane.

 

[h_bar]

when you got both down backflip is easier.

it took me alot more balls to do the backflip, so therefore i did the frontflip first.

 

[DR.SHRED]

fronts all day there alot easier

 

[TheDude]

wow good parenting right there

 

[ScuffDUFF]

Waaatchh ooouuUUUTTT!!!

 

[Davy.Crockett]

yeah i bet the parents got really pissed at the skier

 

[Gnarshred]

Backs are easier, Fronts are more fun

Both are plenty safe if you commit

Both have risk of death if you dont.

 

[MiniMeDanny]

which has a greater risk to injure someone..
you should be able to learn both risk free as long as you commit and are confident in what you're doing

Just learned fronts yesterday. the first try i opened up and didnt make the rotation. Didnt hurt at all. Then 2,3,4,5th trys were all pretty much stomped. I duno if its just me but frontflips seem like they go in slow motion (MEGA MO) compared to a backflips. But i think its just that with front flips you are landing blind and back flips you can spot your landing. If that makes any sense...

 

[peyton]

backs are more fun

 

[-ShredTheGnar-]

Backflips are dubbed easier because you can spot your landing alot earlier than the front
The front is blind but rotation is faster....
I think its preference as to whats harder

i love the back because you can see the jump/cliff as you go round...
Gives a pretty dope feeling.

fronts are easier, if you stuff it up your gona land on your back or arse so thats all good, but backs if you stuff them up youll land on your head or face.... i no from experience haha, did not feel good....
