Punch fronts

when you go into the jump, put your arms above your head, lean back a little. and when you're ready throw yourself forward like on a trampoline and bring your arms down to your knees, i do the stagger, which helps on really tiny jumps. go in and i throw my right leg back, you wanna push your ski back so that you load up on the tip of that one ski and use the kick back to start your rotation

I can do them off cat walks and rollers but they give me the worst shinbang

Go bigger and throw them harder than you think...everyone under-rotates which isn't bad at all, you just land on your back or in a really backseat position, its impossibly to land on your head.

Backflips are waaaay easier by the way

i think there was a trick tip on them in freeskier maybe? i dont know

unless you don't commit, ha. i was doing them all day then went onto a smaller jump and wasn't thinking, under threw it slowly, caught my tips, broke my nose, got a concussion, and cracked my goggles lens, but yea they're way easier, my friend went to try one for his first time, threw it perfectly except kept staring at  his knees, and he starting to rotate a frontflip

depending on the size of the jump you can use your skis to help pop you off and over quicker, one of the big things that i learned when i learned them

the trick tip in freeskier said to use a staggered stance and pop off of your front ski, which seems to work pretty well. Its called a tame dog front and you can do it off a relatively small jump

If your looking to do punch fronts its not really about the arms its more all in your legs i can throw um off of 3 foot tall rollers... i just kick my left foot back putting tons of pressure on the tip (feels like your diving into the pool) and pop off the my right ski.. the left ski provides the spin and the right ur hieght. you just got to remeber to keep your body rolled up.. id try um off of smaller jumps first but if you get um down you can litterally do them off anything
