learn them on tramps, learn them on diving boards, then sack up and commit. stay tucked and choose a sizable jump and you'll be fine

jump outward, superman style and then just tuck and roll. it makes sure you pop enough so you can get your legs back underneath you

The title of the video is wrong. It's a punch front.

Regardless, you can do the same thing off of a jump (instead of a roller like the vid) to help flip yourself faster.

Stagger your feet, lean back for a sec, and then tuck and pop off of the foot that is further back. The tension in your ski will cause you to pop around faster. Be careful though, if you do it too hard off of too big of a jump, you'll overrotate your frontflip.

Good luck!

hold your thighs when our spinning, it helps your body weight stay centered when you land

I'm stupid. Pop off of your forward foot that is staggered not your back foot. Sorry... I was really tired last night and got confused.

It's all about throwing it and then holding your momentum. Don't open up prematurely.

i find for learning fronts, you'd be better off trying them on a jump without a lot of kick, that way you can kinda push into it more. just pop into it, tuck, and rotate. it's not that difficult a trick

Larger jump, preferably into pow (a cat track with a steep in run and landing works perfect. This way you can hit it a ton and get the speed just right). And make sure you stay tucked...grab your knees and hug them to your chest if possible

when i was learning the easiest thing for me was to explode off the tips of your skis.
just dive forward as hard as you can, then bring your knees in.

just go for it really, you gotta chuck and commit
there pretty fun once you get em
and you dont absolutely have to do it but doing the shuffle step thing really helps and it makes it look way steezier
