Frontflip from Maskote on Vimeo.




Seriously juste go for it, you'll probably just fall on your back and be so fucking pumped to try it again and stomp it... Good luck ;)

haha it would probably be wise to up your dins if your skis come off that easy..... haha

but about how to front flip, make sure you get a good pop and a good set. just remember that you are basically going to be blind the whole way so just commit to the flip and hold the tuck and you should be good.

if you commit you'll get it easy. i landed mine second try. find a soft landing though.. its less scary and stuff... i learned them off a service road that was conveniently angled.

So i can do backflips and mistys n shit but ive tried like 5 front flips and landed hard on my back everytime. What is it that skiers do when they put one foot infront of the other. Do you push off of 1 and tuck the other or something?

make sure when you throw it, to throw it forward, dont just huck down, make sure to jump/pop forward and throw your heels over your head, while throwing your flip.

youl prolly crash wunce or twice, but wunce you finally go inverted and get it over with its easy. and not half as scary

I taught a random kid at MHSSC to do frontflips this summer, I was doing dig to ride. It was legit lol.

Basically, throw the beachball. Its all about setting with your arms and making sure you pop and are patient.
