Backflip or frontflip

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of how to front flip or back flip, and what would be better to learn first.

backflip is much easier in my opinion. i have never successfully landed a frontflip.

for a backflip, get a jump with a lot of kick and wait until you're at the very top. once you're there, pop fairly hard with the kick of the jump and you'll flip. if you can do it on a tramp, you can do it on skis.

for frontflips... i don't really know. haha. i've tried a few and never actually landed one, lol.

Probably back. But if try tame dog fronts then then you can do them off really small jumps and it'd be pretty much impossible to land on your head. Unless you go to big and over rotate (you can do these off really small jumps).

backflips=dope. just find a decent sized jump and once you get to the top of the lip just fall through your tails.

frontflips always seem easier in my mind, but i have yet to actually stomp one. backflips are scarier for me personally to get myself ready for, but ive landed actually landed them, you just need a jump with alot of vert

i stomped a front first try and i cant even do backflips on the trampoline. i dont know why but they just scare me. do fronts first.

for fronts, everyone thinks that you need to just huck forwards right off the lips but if you try that you will probably fall or land really sketch. you want a big pop and throw your self up and forwards in a superman. once you see you landing nicely, pull in the tuck and ride away like a gangster.

probably. i suggest buying saga, crowbars, 2xl jiberish hoody, 3xl jiberish crew, and a 4xlt finish line tall tee. make sure you wear them all at the same time. oh, and dont forget fulltilts! it will help you stomp it for sure.
