Ok just to start off i am not trying to brag or anything, i just want to state something i learned that was a lot easier than i expected.
On the ground you run jump sideways land then jump and flip a lincon loop, it was realllyy easy to do, i cant even jump that high. The hardest part was trying it for the first time, just commit and you'll be really happy, i havent fallen yet, one of my friends tried and fell on his side, but he definitely wasnt hurt, cuz he got up and did it again fine

i hurt my ass doing a frontflip off a 5 inch high cement uprising thing onto grass. I barely made it around. I tried it again, and the shock from my going too fast down and too fast spinning bruised my tailbone. so my ass hurts now.

push forward before you hit the ground and then roll.
I learned it in karate, and I've been doing frontflips off the roof of my house ever since. Do it onto pads first.
Just like jump forward like a diving tackle and roll out of it.

tough question.
I'd say frontflip if you can't backflip.
Do it off a raised part first. Be sure to flip fast enough. I just bruised or broke my tailbone yesterday for trying to do a frontflip off a cement thing into grass because I didn't jump high enough on my second time.

I can't lincoln off flat ground. HOW!!! It's soo hard for me now. I can do it on a tramp, but I don't know how to do it without any airtime.
