backflips are way scarier but theyre easier, frontflips are harder but less scary.

this is all my opinion btw, its really a matter of opinion

go do one on a diving board or tramp. whichever one you feel most comfortable doing learn that. it's different for everyone. me I like backflips since you can spot all the way around and are never blind.

i learned both last weekend. just make sure you can do both on a trampoline first. you also have to scope out the right jump

i learned front flips first - i think my rationale was that they are less scary and i could try them on a smaller jump.

however, backflips are definitely easier. you can see your landing for most of the trick, and therefore know if you need to tuck more or not.

The best way for me to do a backflip or frunt it's on jump with  Powder landing. It should be less scary.

yeah bro!!! try a backflip on a big jump and just lean back and look back two.swing your momentum back and spot your landing. it really is that easy
