i need help on how to do a frontflip. I started doing them off jump landings and off small drops without a kicker, yesterday. Today i would like to try doing them off real jumps. Should i go for the big line or the small line? poles or no poles (i've been doing them without poles) ? how do i control my frontflips i do them pretty fast (about the same speed as a 360)?By the way when I do a front i push myself forward a bit before the drop. Should i continue doing this on jumps? Thanks alot

poles or no poles? thats up to you...and do you need me to help you choose other gear you might wanna use? goggles will be a good idea but outerwear is optional thats up to you just dont show me.

dont be so harsh on the people your asking for advice, besides hate is only met with hate

i feel like no poles would prevent any mishaps from happening on the landing but either way you go you should be set, just slow down the rotation from one off the landing so that you dont over-rotate and make sure you get around so you dont get fucked

good luck with the flip though

hey my tip is when you pop spot your landing then tuck and you will slow down your rotation and land it better

if youve just started doing front flips and you havent got your arms in the right place at all times then it would be pretty easy to stab yourself with your pole or bend poles etc. so i think its reasonable to consider practicing front flips without poles

dont hate on alex g....
but back to the question i learned my front flips yesterday in the park and they are by far the most fun trick i have ever done. just get a small jump do a nollieish thing and then throw like theres no tomorrow and make sure you stay tucked and viola a front flip

ok you should probly use poles cause there isnt any dif at all and it will look 10 times better with poles also i would go with the small line before the big one but it should be very easy comming from trying them on landings haha but just make sure you dont start to soon or else it becomes sort of like a nolie thing and it prob wont turn out well cause you could pre eject from your skis or somthing but be sure to stay tucked in the air and hold the backs of your knees the first few times also dont try to flip to fast right off the jump just make it smooth
