I wanna go for a flip I just don't know which is easiest. I feel like I'm most comfortable with fronties. Got and trick tips and/or advice?

Usually I would flip shit, no pun intended, but you're a noob. Use the search bar at the top of the page and you'll find a TON of threads that will help you out. Probably one of the most popular questions on NS...

Well I don' t get inverted much anymore but his is how I did it:

 Get on your front porch or any small elevated platform...even a picnic table. Do a bunch of flips front, back, whatever into a pile of soft snow. Even have your friends spot you in the beginning. Dial in the flips on your feet then try it with some twintips. Of course you can find a trampoline, foam pit or a water jump, if you have access to these things.

Why do people say frontflips are easier? It is so much easier to spot the landing coming around backwards than forwards...Forward feels kinda blind,  your skis are down before you can see anything really.... Plus you are going against the momentum of the kicker....

Oh and yeah there are lots of tips do a quick search of the site you will see.....

Well I'd say try in into some pow on the hill first, it's pretty safe. I flip on the hill, but am scared to do backflips on my trampoline at home, for some reason I shoot off the side a lot.

straight flips arent steezy unless your really really good at them. get spins up to like 7 or switch 7 with many grabs before you start going inverted... just my advice though.

pop and and then i kinda huck it forward, as if i was punching in front of me but tuck back in quick. if you dont pop you'll be very uncomfortable in the air.
