Hello,
me and my friend have had an argument about wich is easier to do. If i know how to do a frontflip but not a backflip on a trampoline, is it easier to learn a backflip or a frontflip while skiing?

backflip is easier for a couple reasons
1. you can see where you are going the whole time and spot the landing almost immediately
2. the backwards rotation plays nice with the fact that as you go up the lip of a jump, you're already rotating a bit that way

that being said, front flips are not hard at all and should be embraced

although it looks scary at first, switch backflips are also easy and people lose their minds if you do one, so try that also.
i have never done a switch front flip, so i can't speak to that
