First frontflip in awhile tips/advice

so this is my first year skiing ever and it has been awhile since i tried a frontflip. Last time i tried one it was on a very small jump i built on a hill it was maybe 2 and a half feet high and i didnt get much air at all. Unfortunately after i landed it i went for it again to try and get it cleaner and broke my rossi fks 140 bindings and got them fixed a few days after. Since I last tried ones i got very comfortable with 3s and can throw them pretty nicely off jumps and learned 5s just a few weeks ago and am pretty comfortable throwing them too. Im going night skiing today though and i sort of want to throw a front flip but im not sure if i should wait to build a jump in powder or if i should just sack up and try it on the jump at the park tonight. How i would plan to throw it would jump be to pop similar to how i would throw a 3 or a 5 but except i would channel that pop forward to flip. Is this the best way to throw it off a jump? and should i sack up and go for it and are there any other tips that could help me if i do end up trying it?

I wouldn't throw if off a kicker, get a nice shaped knuckle/cat track and try it there, make sure you have enough speed to get enough air off the knuckle to get the rotation around but at the same time you don't wanna bring to much speed and go to flat.
Basically just send it to the gucci plateau off a knuckle!]
Good luck!
