i really want to try a frontflip this weekend and i’ve been watching some videos on youtube and it doesn’t seem hard it looks like i just need the commitment but do you guys have any tips that really helped you learn them?

also here’s a clip from the jump i want to do it on: it’s small but in person it seems big enough to get it around and the one above it is possible too

There is enough room for you to get it around and it’s small enough to just buck it without any fear.

That looks like Pico right? There's a roller above poma woods that you can build a jump on pretty easily. Some of my friends learned flips there

i def have seen a video where people were seshing a little kicker on poma line was that you or your friends? but i doubt there’s enough snow soft enough to build a one and the landing would prolly suck i think imma stick to doing it in the park this weekend bc it’s gonna be in the 40 s and 50s

This was several years ago so no. I learned how to land switch in powder there, if the snow softens up you could build a lip pretty easily

If your more comfortable in the air and have good awareness then go bigger but if you just want to huck it around this is prolly fine you'll go bigger naturally since you'll pop foward. You can stagger and do a ninja but I only like that on bigger jumps if you stagger on smaller ones you have to like throw one ski down.
