Frontflips on the comeback?

Not too long ago a frontflip was considered to be "about as cool as getting kicked in the nuts."  But lately they've made a few reapperances.  Will they make a comeback?  I think that it would be sick to throw a front in the middle of a pillow line.

front flips are dope. i would rather see someone do a lawndart than a layed out backie any day. though layed out backie's are still sweet.

I think fun tricks in general are making a comeback, ive seen more handplant frontflips and even screamin semens in the past season. I like that its cool to be soething more than just doin a spin with a grab

I love doing them as much backs. So much fun to go superman/lawn darts. To go top speed and dive for it hold it and flick the flip at the last second. I used to love to throw them on stadium jump in devils castle @alta. It was nice to see my lawndart bomb hole and the other bombs hole. Just to see i went touble the distance of anyones bombs holes.

dude thats like the techest trick out there. you're completely blind the entire time, plus the rotation is so awkward you end up doing switch 180 loop. takes a shredder to huck em.
