I've tried them but for some reason I sort of jump awkwardly off the jump and my rotation is choppy and it does t have that nice nose pop off the lip into a fluent rotation and I really feel like I have to buck it around and it just feels weird. Can anyone help me with a decent explanation, or know any good tutorials?

The way I do front flips (mainly on small jumps and rollers): You ski up to the feature you are gonna front flip and as you're approaching stagger your skis a little bit. Then you bring your front foot up and kinda lean back. You then start to throw your body forward and set your front foot down and pop off of it. Then you tuck and follow through with the rotation. Then you start to spot the horizon and open up and prepare for landing. Afterbang!
