My first front was off of a cat track and my first back was off of a snowbank. It really doesnt matter what you do it on just make sure you are confident.

you can basically front flip off any jump... you dont even need a jump to do a front flip but if it's your first one then try it on some 15-20ft jump

Trying into powder first is always a good bet, that way you can get the feeling of the trick without having to worry about those firm park landings.

As somebody above said, boosting off the side of a cat track is a great spot for front flips since the takeoff is flat. For backies you want something poppy. Find a nice wind lip or build a booter.
