Front flip?

[MessedKris]

Just out of curiosity, how come there are no tutorials about front flips out here? They are the best :D

And atm the only trick i can do... =[ But i only started tricking properly like a week ago :D

[xrobbatesx]

You kind of answerd your own question :tongue: as you said after a week of tricking you can already front flip, front flips usually get learned pretty fast and there fore most people don't need tutorials for them as they are already pretty close... there easy to get and easy to change tutorials are usually for more inconsistent or more technical moves, I mean type on you tube front flip tutorial there are enough on there to get the basic idea of them :smile:

[MessedKris]

Actually yeah :smile:

Good point :)

What about variations on the front flip like the Barani or something? I can't find any English tutorials on that at all. Or maybe a few that aren't good.

Hmmm I remember when i started tricking i had the same problem as you it anoyed me so much :eh: but you have honestly got to go out and try, if you have a trampoline then try on that first! and if you dont i recomend buying one if you can they help alot when you first start...
for a brani basically start the frontflip like you would usually half way through the flip kick your legs out and throw your arms in the direction your spinning in... but put alot more effort in then the front flip... make sure you can land front flips with your chest nice and high before you attempt them..

if you can't do it that way then if you can round off; get your round off really powerful fast and jump more and more up until you dont put your hands down and then you have a brani... i'd say that ways harder though.. :wink:

forgive me for the english typed it out fast...

Ah ok thanks, will try.

I have a trampoline but had to take it down when i moved house, since i now have no garden. Moving house again soon though, so hopefully will have it back up soon.

I reckon i should practice my front flips a bit more because i land slightly low. This is a video of one of my front flips:

Front flips, like all other tricks, but especially front flips can easily be learned by applying the general rules for tricking technique.

-Jump UP and set HIGH
-then spin / flip / tuck

Tah dah.

There aren't many tutorials for frontflip variations though, which sucks. Awhile back I was pointing that out with the Arabian. Front flips are easy (harder than a back tuck imo though haha) but some of the variations could use techniques and pointers.

Thats because most front flip variations looks goofy.
X-ins and all that nonsense.
The only way front flips generally look that good is out of cartwheels, in tumbling and out of swipe moves [sswipe and hyperswipe].
Learn how to loser instead. :good:

It's not bad but as you can see from your video your gaining massive ground shorten your block (the lil hop thing before you jump) and instead of forcing your self forwards jump with everything UP i can't say that enough just focus on blocking and jumping up then do it rather then forcing your self forwards which your doing qiute well considering your technique but you have more potential... :smile:
