so last weekend i tried 2 frontflips, the first one wasnt great i landed on my back, the second one was better but i was going to slow and still landed on my back on the first i just popped and swung forward, the second i tried to stagger my feet it kinda worked i would just like to to get some tips on what would make me spin faster on tips on when to pop and things like that.. i didnt tuck though but i brought back my knees would tucking help? and the jump was about 10 feet into powder thx for your help +k for help -k for bullshit .. Thanks.

have one foot a little further ahead of the other on the in run and once you hit the lip, pop the front foot back, it should give you a faster rotation

ya kick one foot/leg back to start the rotation right at the top of the jump and for smaller jumps youre def gonna want to tuck it...goodluck
