Frontflips?

I was stomping them all last night in my dreams, it was sweet. I don't think I actually know what to do though lol sorry..
 
i like to lean back just a lil bit before the lip to get some back swing, then swing my self forward on the lip..it works for me, but i dunno if i really reccomend it.
 
get good speed and just tuck and roll forwards hard until you get all the way around, or should I say IF you get all the way around.....
 
yeah we were practicing them in the slush. None of us could do them, but they were a lot of fun and didnt hurt at all... till the next day.
 
stay centered until takeoff then just throw your upper body forward, make sure you look straight down because if you don't you'll get off axis. If you can do a frontflip on a diving board or trampoline I guarantee you can get it on snow if you commit.
 
i hear the best way is to ride up to the searchbar and send it.

but for real, just try in of a jump with not to much of a lip and send it into powder your first few tries
 
most people will disagree, but i have a pretty reliable coach and he helped me a lot with them. go into the super man, dont just huck yourself forward, and "throw the beach ball" that could work, but its not the best. then after you extend off the jump, tuck, commit, and finish the rotation
 
i think we're talking about off of jersey booters not like a 20 foot jump... at least i'd feel more comfortable on something smaller haha

Do it like this make sure to afterbang it)
 
ive been huckin them since i was like 10y haha. in pow tho. u just have to find a good kick (like off a trail into pow) and just flip, its quite easy you'll probs land on ur very tails the first time but who gives a shit. youll eventually land and then u can take them into the park,
 
Start of in pow just (like mentioned above) do the beachballthrowing movement, kick your feet back, tuck as hard as you can, dont keep your knees together (2reasons, for a better tuck and you wont get a knee tot the face if you land)and try spotting your landing, this aint easy becaues youre tucked and inverted, but try spottin it as soon as possible.

in the beginning you probably wont be throwing them of anything huge so be sure to keep tucked longer than you think and everything will be fine

Oh and you might also wanna try them first without skis, just jump of something steep-powderish with your shoes, (a roadside or something) and just tuck tuck tuck (and keep your knees apart)
 
right as your getting to the jump have all your weight back and arms up when you get to the lip throw everyhting and down as hard as you can and most important stay tucked cus if u do nothing bad can happen and if you dont lots of bad things can happen also never try to start to turn in the air
 
biggest thing for me was to get over the fact that i was going to be upside down. try it into pow for the first couple tries just to get used to being upside down and if you land on your back it wont hurt. once you get comfortable with the idea of being inverted they are pretty easy
 
don't have your poles strait up and down when you through it, put them at a 45 dagree angle push off one toe not two feet. you can't realy spot your landing unless you superman so commit.
 
i tried to do a frontflip the first time i was in a snowpark, i landed straight on my back. but it didnt hurt too bad
 
I made this same thread like 5 days ago but anyway. it's really eazy. like on a trampoline but except when your reallly close to the lip. I give myself my body a huge push frontwards and the rest follows just make sure you dont do a double cuz i almost did.
 
at the top of the lip, lean on your noses, push forward with your hands, dive forward, tuck, and release, it comes ot u natually, well for me it did. now its my fav trik. well u probly attempted it by the time u get this.....
 
people will say not to, but go into a superman right away, then throw it, dont just huck yourself. and of course...commit
