Pop as high as you can if your riding a little jump, most people throwing them for the first time forget to pop and land on their necks.

just remember to pop and then tuck. make sure your knees are far apart so you don't break your nose when you land. its not actually a very hard trick physically, but mentally it can be really difficult.make sure you commit.

Yeah I think you should go for it. But make sure you really pop hard almost like your doing one on flat ground and then tuck. I feel a lot of times you see people literally roll off the lip of the jump and some how they get around but don't do this. Not only does that look bad but you also have a bigger chance of landing on your neck or prereleasing. But give it a go because of you get it you will be so happy and satisfied at the end of the day.

It's the end of the season. You won't be missing much if you hurt yourself, plus front flips are easy af.

Yes do it haha

Wait for very end of jump. Pop hard and launch forward tucking hands down to shins and hold it tight until it comes around.

Who cares, if you commin consequences are minimal
