OK here's what's up. Your hands are set in the right place when you hurdle, but when you throw, you put them in front of your head. What you need to do instead is make the throw come from all the way behind your head. If you start in front, you'll lose a lot of the momentum that you need.

Other than that, tuck tighter; it's too open.

The "small jump" before the takeoff is way to big! And you just spin when you do the frontflip. Jump up like jumping over a high bar and spin then. Try to do this and make a new clip!

I think learning to 1-handed cartwheel would greatly improve your front flips.
