Ok so let me start off with background. I can front flip flat off of one leg or both, and sideflip on flat ground. I want to try a knuckle Front flip but am not sure how to throw it. In a lot of edits I see a motion sort of like pulling one leg back and throwing it off of one leg. Amy tips are appreciated! When I try it I will post a follow up video. Also for the /claim my Instagram is @efrayne if you want to see proof of my flips on flat. Thanks and any tips help!

Work on leaning forward until you have to catch yourself with your hands in a pushup position or even go all the way around like a handspring. Get a feel for how your skis will react

come in hot, lean forward so your weight is over your toes and kick one leg back as you pop. Make sure you pop before you throw and it will come around really easily. Also make sure you throw the flip forwards--not downwards. Lots of people just throw their body downwards when they try frontflips. Pop up and out and then just tuck

Lift one leg up and pop off those tips, make sure you have enough speed and really commit, they are super easy, but be weary if you carry too much speed and over rotate it hurts alot

I do mine a little differently. I crouch low, lift one leg, stomp the leg, pop completely, then I just do a normal fronty.
