DAMMIT I HURT MY DAM BACK TRYING TO DO A FRONT FLIP

[2ooMorrow]

Hey epic, im kinda stuck with my front flips, you see i can do them, but now i wait too much and get a terrible mental block, theres no reason behind it either. What do you do to get through the initial mental block?

[Julio11HD]

for a new front flip tutorial watch this video../watch?v=Kuvx4SsB4EU  thumbs up if you like it.

[kroepkroep]

why dont we have those kind of gyms here in holland?? :/

[banaankaas]

@kroepkroep damn, jaaa echt hé, ik moet het allemaal mezelf aanleren & op school doen we alleen maar aan ratslagjes & koprollen -.-

[innderogutder]

You rock ! And you kinda look like Ronnie Radke (Y)

[haxisfun443]

thank you i can almost frontflip now :)

[boblob801]

Is this hard on your ankle's? I broke my ankle a couple months ago in supercross so im not sure if I should try this

[CalvinBGood]

I keep landing sort of low in a crouched position, but still on my feet, but apparently I keep getting great height :S Help please?

[MrPalata09]

@Epic1

whats the title of your backgrond song?

the superhuman?

[machstarfox]

@MrPalata09 the songs name is kryptonite.

[MrVictorxd99]

Ya me lo he sacado cenqs you

[cocoisboss]

hey epic why you don't say about blocking.(block jump)?

[MrNavzzzzz]

sir.. i want to do these things.. it's fucking awesome... but i'm afraid i might land on my neck and die...

[punnkinman]

@MrNavzzzzz I may not be a pro...but I may be able to help you a little. Try to do one on a mattress first. That way if you land on your back it won't hurt as much. Maybe try it off a chair or something you can stand on. Other than that follow this video for form.

[iatachifan123]

@79FB79 dude if u have any type of mattress or anything soft to land on do it on tht. id say thts the easiest way. but basically at first ull punk out but after each time ull jump higher and higher. ur gonna be scared to jump high at first but after a couple of times u should get them pretty decent. hope it helps

[afran17]

i still keep landing on my ass

[Supercheeseball88]

i keep hearing "errnt! do do do dot! ernnt' do dot do do! am i the only one?

[Toggiboy97]

Awesome explaining! it's easy to understand, but a tip. talk little higher and show the steps more detailed. AWESOME!!!! :-D

[xNoNameee]

Ive got problems at realesing the tuck ? any help ?

[TheJakeRockz]

I've been trying this for 3 days, I just decided to try parkour. I've made good progress, The first day. Landed on my back. A lot. Next day. I landed on my feet at an angle and still in a ball. Today, I still am landing in a ball, but I'm landing on my feet. I'm still having trouble with the frontflip but I'm gonna keep trying. I'll get it eventually.

If I can't do it, Noone can.

[CalvinBGood]

@TheJakeRockz Front flips aren't a part of parkour by the way, they are included in free-running though.

[sagixcv10]

you make it look easy but next week im going to practice on it thanx for the tutorial

[michdokter27]

Epic1 are you at edge gymnastics at open gym?

[SeanDnB5]

Sometimes I wish my parents had gotten me into gymnastics. It's a whole lot of physical work and definitely not a girly hobby. This kind of agility and flexibility would've helped me in wrestling as well.

[WhitneyWombat]

Lol K I almost fell but yeah. Thanks though. I really want to try this. :)

[zezopop2010]

thank you very much Bro :) its helped me :D

Thumps up if the parkour who brought you here Like Me Guys :D

[raul4pk]

[MikiDeFacto123]

00:00 Here you go!

[metuic]

0:58

[WaCh01167]

ok so i know how to front flip but i still dont get get how some of you guys can clear space with it ? like i was watching this vid and this guy did a front flip over a alley i guess you could call it . but yeah how do you guys do that ? :p

[craven456]

i agree with you 100% on front flips being harder than back flips, once the fear is gone a back flip is no effort, but on a front flip, because you have to tuck you rotate faster and then most people don't open in time and end up over rotating and opening out on the ground.

[hellowdolly1]

Sir Can you change your Shorts.:P

[EverestParkourTeam]

49 dislikes are the fat people

[JannisAdmek]

i can do a frontflip (on grass) but no backflip... good tutorial thx :-D

[Jakob340]

Would I need to try this on a Soft material? like a Trampoline

[23QUo]

@Jakob340 It wont help you, because, when u try it on the hard surface, you will have problems, try finding a sand pit.. :)

[MrLoser125]

what is the name of song in background

[MrLoser125]

what is the name of song in background



[narutohyuuga11]

@MrLoser125 3 doors down .- kriptone

[invisiblezero13]

You live in st.louis?

[MrMaxmongoose]

how long dose it roughtly take to frontflip?

[TheWashburnBanshee]

@MrMaxmongoose about 3/4 of a second...

[MrMaxmongoose]

@TheWashburnBanshee i mean how long dose it take learning one. how many days to perfect it?

[TheWashburnBanshee]

@MrMaxmongoose depends on how crap you are at it

[MrMaxmongoose]

@TheWashburnBanshee How about if i still am afraid to go completly over and have to flip over my sholder and land on my ass?

[TheWashburnBanshee]

@MrMaxmongoose concequences are a problem of the future, think about them later.

[23QUo]

@TheWashburnBanshee But what if he ruins him self, then he wont be able to think about it.. :P

[TheWashburnBanshee]

@23QUo its a front flip. you can get more then half way just by falling forward, nothin bad can really happen as long as your not on concrete :)

[23QUo]

@TheWashburnBanshee You and me know that, but he doesn't.. :) Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking.. Fear is the main thing.. :).. It's hard to tell people it's not dangerous. :)

[KosticFreerunner]

KRYPTONITE WOOO!!!

[afont644]

[MagicZbder]

@thetigrecazador the guy failed by doing the back flip^^

[Ricardosammy99]

@thetigrecazador easy

[shemicker1]

@epic1 are there some drills you could suggest to help with the take off and tucking? I either get one or the other. Hardly ever both

[tuybpro97]

ok



[aznboijesse13]

is it just me or do i always knee myself in the face when i tuck

[ch3mj0]

@Epic1 hey epic, I have a problem. I jump quite high and tuck quite hard, however i dont know how to release my leg after the flip, that's the reason I got a faceplant today, can ya give me some advices?

[shuriken198]

@ch3mj0 You should practice the timing on your gymnastic front rolls, then advance it into the frontflip, release when you feel necessary after the practice.

[bertus23]

@Epic1 Nice tutorial man, has really helped me, quite close to them now, it looks like you are setting quite low tho, i have always been told to try to set high, is it more the rotation that's important or the height/set ?

[longhairpnzy]

i run then step in to it i find it easier to do but good tutorial

love your over tutorials

[iznman]

[griffinmma101]

[AwakendWar226]

[TheGflips]

epic I have a question , is it normal that is hurt if you land him ?

[zzVolcomredzz]

do you need any forward momentum cause i dont really like runing into it it psychs me out

[khj93play1]

lol at 1:54 a guy does fail a backflip lol ouch!! im not sure what he landed on but it looked like it hurt

[YouMeWeFail]

[Xflameandrew]

The background music: Kyrptonite by 3 Doors Down.

[preston11042]

[fizo4001]

I have flat feet problem and my right foot kinda hurt after i do a frontflip :(

[noogai132]

@fizo4001 Do you land flat footed or on the balls of your feet?

[fizo4001]

@noogai132 I land on the balls of my feet

[TheMrrandomhouse]

[NasFx3]

[hellboy60031]

[Robiorton]

thanks a lot man that really help ;)

[jtuneddc5]

so far this is the best tutorial ive seen for a front flip. you make it look to easy, it almost seems as if the floor is bouncy when your doing the flip.

[Benijermin]

@jtuneddc5 It's a spring floor... So yes, it is bouncy... :P

[TheFreewayCoke]

43 people is to fat to do a frontflip :D

[birdy1991]

[Utkarshbboy]

How much time did it took u to learn Front Flip ???

[ch3mj0]

@Utkarshbboy for me it took a month ;)

[DawgFL]

Hey, I'll be quick.

I have a question about front flip, right now I do it and I land in squatting position, hands go down to ground for stability. Not tucking in tight enough (knees and head), how can i fix or will just a lot of practice fix this? Thanks sooooo much

[NFPKChris]

@DawgFL Watch Dogen's blocking tutorial.

[DawgFL]

@NFPKChris i did, im not sure its helping me!

[NFPKChris]

@DawgFL I'd check out his muscle memory one too, but the most common problem with fronts is not blocking enough and not jumping up(basically linked) and tucking too early.

[DawgFL]

@NFPKChris ok thank you

[boyspoq123]

Thanks ! i do Frontflip with my nice Landing ! LIKE and Subscribe !

[beastieboys5]

frontflips are hard

[mitchi009]

I Like the song.. kyptonite.. haha.. nice tutorial thanks.. Cant wait to do that

[SonicFlyer14]

Hey Epic a quick question about the form of a front flip.

Is it easier to separate your legs or to keep them close together?

[automobilejr]

@joshua98sayshi dannngg im 14 and cant do shit lol :)

[TheSemidarkness]

press1:44 XD

[caGh0s7]

For the drill at 0:50, how do you start the rotation, bringing your head down into your knees or .....??? I'm confused, I'm still hitting around the top of my head during the roll.

Thanks in advance!

[awesomefuujutsushi]

@caGh0s7 use your shoulders, that's what will get you your rotation, swing your arms down, and grab your knees, and put your shoulders into the movement, the frontflip isnt like the backtuck where it's all about the legs, you have to use your shoulders for this one, and also, tuck your head in a litte, but not so much that you cant see anymore , you should be able to see whats going on around you.

[thatgirlisflyytt]

can someone go to /watch?v=jkT7zBe84G0 and watch me on the left what am I doing wrong with my front flips?

[superknife20]

eodl kryptonite on background, found that song 2 days ago, i love it!!! nice tutorial thanks man i think i can do i tnow myself :)

[iloveherverymuch120]

i dunno when to open my tuck.. i jump high and rotate fast.. but when it comes to the landing.. i land with a crouch.. if i try to open my tuck.. i'll open it when im rotating.. and if i try a little bit sooner.. im already land.. PLEASE HELP ME!

[MissSwagirl]

hey , girl in the back .. you have one heck of a cart wheel (: js .

[jcare31]

Did you put this music in or is it actually playing at the gym. It's just a tad louder than you're voice which is annoying. Brilliant tutorials by the way. Best parkour/freerunning tutorials on Youtube.

[MrJibbyfunk]

[zomzom26]

[flyyhigh1]

[mayhemmanson]

@flyyhigh1 no.

[JadoParkour]

U B killin em EPic

[MyManchesterunited12]

also dont punch it your feet down when you jump ppl its make you land like a stomp its not nice especially on concrete and grass msotly concrete ligtly hop then jump its easier trust me

[luxioz]

0:48 thts wat i always do when i'm jumpin' on my bed :D

[TheFPSgamerx]

Kryptonite by 3 doors down is playing.

[R0x0rvn]

teach me how to land it

[blacktres]

I can not Jump High

[MyManchesterunited12]

@blacktres no its not about jumping high i ecently learnt this about the frontflip its all technique u can use blocking and manipulating your center of gravity to get it higher not having a good high jump

[korayrocks]

can you make a video on how to overcome the the fear of doing a front flip

[HaloStrikes]

@korayrocks he cant make a vid on "how to come over your fear" the only thing he can say is probably try it on a madrass and just do it, its up to you. he taught you how to do it, now its up to you to actually do it!

[coldfives5]

hey @Epic1 i was just wondering i can do a frontflip but cant do any other flips which would you recommend trying next ? thanks !

[ushdr]

@coldfives5 try a front handspring next.

[coldfives5]

@ushdr i can nearly already do that is there anything else you can recommend

thanks !

[ushdr]

@coldfives5 after the front handspring, try an aerial. Because you can slowly morph the aerial into a gainer, then a cheat gainer, then turn it into a backflip/kick the moon/flashkick. It's what my teacher recommended to me.

[coldfives5]

@ushdr ahh okay thanks alot that was very helpful !! :D

[JVmaster101]

hey @Epic1 you're awesome

i cant believe all the tricks you do are actually possible :o

im working on a frontflip right now, but i dont seem to have anywhere to practice

i usually practice out in an open field of grass, but i think that there could be something better, any suggestions?

what gym do YOU practice at?

[caGh0s7]

Thumbs up if you weren't noticing things in the background and was trying to learn how to fix your frontflip.

[123ismail1231]

if i go to a leisur center will ther be a place like were your in and with coaches?

[123ismail1231]

thanks epic that was probaly one of the best ever front flip tourtorials ever the part that helped the most is when you said "its just like doing a forward roll in the air"

[billy7211]

thank you soo much i can frontflip on grass thanks to this tutorial :D

[MapleStoryKillz]

When do you tuck? I seem to land on my back every time

[beastieboys5]

thumbs up if you're a faggot

[sk8inforjezus]

@beastieboys5 haha no thumbs up lol



[Vassy97]

i would be so happy to do that, but i am scared when i attempt to do this so i don't turn my body in air and i just jump.. any suggestions?

[ryanwinston26]

Epic, what about blocking?

[montagezz2000]

press 3 for $3x sounds (man)

[BlazenPuma]

Thumbs Up If U Saw THe Backflip Fail At 1:56

Lmao

Thx For The Vid Epic Wat Really Helped Me Was The Ground Front Flip :D
