i think frontflips are easier than 3s but i suck at backflips but basicly front flip is harder than backflip b.c its a blind flip but back flips are easier because you can spot your landing and some ppl think are scarier so kinda depends on your situation

wait till a powder day, go find a hill, build a booter,  and practice into pow. Trust me, best way to learn new things.

been trying frontflips this week, first try yesterday i didn't pop and landed on my back, but it didn't hurt because i tried it off a jump thats more like a little roller, then today my second try i popped but didn't tuck and then landed on my ass. they're fun hopefully i'll land one tomarro

I think backflips are much easier but scarier too. Frontflips are still pretty easy and super fun to do, you are blind the whole time though. I like frontflips better but which ever one you fell more comfortable with do.

I live on the east coast to and i actualy learned my first front flip of of a 4 foot drop with a little lip on it in my backyard. Just huck it i came close first try. Just put ur stronger foot forward about 6 inches and as u get to the lip pop and actualy pretend like your doing it superman style for a split second and then tuck
