Being an incredibly talented skier that can easily do both of these tricks (even on flat ground), I have to say that frontflips are MUCH more g. A fronty for the boys is the g-est thing to ever come out of freeskiing.

Backflips are easier. A smooth frontflips with style is much harder, but catches my attention.

Front flips are for 13 year olds who want to have bragging rights about being able to flip.

Front flips with style is an oxymoron

Front flips I feel are harder. I still can't quite stomp one. I can only do backflips, but mannnn they are so fun haha

A huge, floated out, full extension backflip is pretty G.

Both are sweet but backflips will always look/ feel so damn good.

Huge front flips are pretty g though. Idk how people stall them out on the yuuuuuuge jumps. I also stopped dping frontflips after overrating a couple of times.

I find it funny that some of the most elite skiers will get the shivers about a fronty, but never for backflips. It's so much easier to over rotate a frontflip, and lord knows anyone who can really G out a frontflip, has landed scorpian at least 10 times.

with that said, backflip just looks better.

And front flips are way more g.

G's lead with their heads, and not their asses.

Misty's are more g than rodeos.
However, a really greasy flair is more g than a standard misty 180.

EverchangerSwitch front flips


I honestly don't think switch front flips ever look nearly as steezy as the others. But it's a cool flex. That's a tough trick. That switch triple video went so hard years back. Dude didn't land it but he did switch front switch dub front about as smooth as you can.

To each their own I think they are the most fly.
