front flip help

[alexmac56]

I need seirous help on my frontflips.

I could do a precision front flip when you run jump from a small object onto a bigger one and flip off it and that was about 1,6ft high and i go quite high and drop out but now when i try it i land like a meter away and i dont drop?

Its weird beacuse i ve all of a sudden just lost them, i could do one standing off sumit like 3 ft and drop out and thats gone aswell?

Ive tried jumping up but it dont seem to work, can anyone help me out please?

You mean you have problem with a front flip from elvated platform?
Anyway, drill your front flip by using a spring board may help, since it help u jump when u are not committing to it (I think ur problem may be about "commitment to the jump"...)

Take a video of it, watch it, and see what you're doing wrong. This is the solution to every problem in tricking.

If you mean you travel too much distance in your frontflips, then blocking should help you. Just place your feet further in front of your body in your takeoff.

But if you say you aren't able to do them from a platform, which gives you much "extra height", your problem might be your rotation. Try to speed it up and put more force in it. I can't really give advice to it because it's mainly practice. Remember to pull your upper Body down instead of pulling the legs up, which would slow down the rotation. The legs should only be bend kinda passive but still tight.

And please stop jumping from high places, it's gay and doesn't help you when just learning the technique.

Actually Front flip is a pretty hard moves. IS harder than a back flip. Most people can backflip but they cant front.

I think talking about a frontflip as a hard move is exaggerated, though it's may harder than the backflip, but that depends on the person and the point of view.

Frontflip is not a difficult move. Yes, backflips are easyer, but backflips are apparantly easyer than many simple tricks like b kicks.

I don't really understand the point of this thread haha.
I mean like what do you expect, how should we help you if we don't get to see a video of your tries? The only answer that comes to my mind while reading your first post is stop jumping from high objects if you want to learn something on flat ground, it won't help you.
( and this has actually been said a few times)
