Today a kid told me he was going to try to learn nollie front flips this season... isn't every front flip a nollie?

A nollie front flip uses your tips to pop you forwards vs. just hucking it with your body

I think nollie front flips are commonly associated with knuckle fronties

I just don't see how you would ever not do that in good form.

i alway just thought nollie fronts were off of like rollers and small hips while regular fronts are more thrown with your body after you're already in the air.

yeah so when you get those nollie fronts usually your rotational speed comes from your ski tips releasing and not so much your body movement. Although, you can "nollie" flip a huge jump where your ski tips are last to leave the lip but don't necessarily help you rotate... its just not the normal nollie where your getting air from the press.
