Honestly, how hard are they? I can do 3/4 of a front flip on the ground just with my ski boots on. Which is easy. I just dont want to break my neck trying one before i get some advice/info.

they are super easy once you can spot your landing..they're blind the whole way through until the last 1/4 when you have to look for the ground...just go off and superman it a bit before you spin, that made it alot easier for me

 
yea, you could stick it easy i think, just grow balls and huck it a few times, but make sure you hit the jump a few times before you try it, and powder is always nice

no matter ho much you shake and dance, three drops always end up in your pants
 
no, you don't need a ton of air...i did them off of anything from a 4 foot kicker to a 40 foot table

 
never tried, i would imagine that a barani would be easier though...i also wanted to do those...

 
If you can almost do a front flip standing with ski boots on, then you should have no problem hucking a double front off a decent table.

 
i just learned em by trying on a powdarr day...Worst case scenario i landed on back and did a somersault...and had to pick snow out of my nose

 
I don't like front flips at all....i think every other trick is 100 times more fun.

Don't think just jump.

 
I don't know what my deal was, but I couldn't do a front flip to save my life. I don't think I tuck enough. Never rotate enough and always land on my ass/back. That's not such a fun thing when you ski in WI and the landings are always ice and flat. ha.

Quattro does it on all 4's
 
i havent read any of the previous posts but, um, front flips are really easy, i landed my first one 5 years ago... and backflips are way harder cause more neck exposure stuff

yeah has anyone done a frontflip or flatspin off a 4' kicker? Im gettin ideas that im not sure i should proceed with..

-Randy
 
aye...i've done both off of 4 foot kickers...with the flatspin i just threw my right hand toward my left shoulder and tuck up, then when you come around to a 360 look down for your landing and you should spin right around it

 
Haha im gonna try it tomorrow. Or after Blue's Superpipe show. So you did the front flip ok off the kicker though right?

-Randy
 
Just for a little comedy Ill post a vid of my first attempt up on here. If I make it out of the hospital in time lol

-Randy
 
fuck that shit, huck like a mother an ull either be fine, or land on ur face, in the second case u pick ur ass back up an huck like half a mother, an then, voila, u can do a frontflip

 
You should not do front flips because its horrible. Go with backflip before its easier and you can easily add a cool tailgrab with it.

Quebec represenT!
 
I would go for the backflip before the front. If you are hitting a table or kicker you are already partially backseat. just popp, lean back and tuck it up. you can see the landing fairly quickly, making it easier.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ya doin?

diggen.

Why?

make a hole.

What for?

more diggen.
 
dude you should totally forget that froontflip shit and do a 360 if anything you will just fall on your side and get bad whiplas and not be able to look at your dick the next time you whack off

you there get down on this throbbing pole of hot man chickken
 
dammmm i wanna try a front too but i can do backflips on the ground and tramp and everywhere, so i dunno wat wu be easier, and i also feel like it wud be hard to rotate with skis on...tru???
 
yeah I first tried on a tinny jump it was pritty stupid, but i got it on my second try after landing on my head once. There really not hard. I just pop hard off the jump tuck my neck to my chest reack for my knees and extend for a landing.

Seriously I think learnign how to do a 360 was harder than a front. But I guess I was just more comfortable on skis at that point.
