Front Flip Tutorial

[OkimawClanOC4L]

the most basic way to train a front flip is do a hand stand then land on you feet thats how i got the basics then i used the arm movements and i eventually got it

[blablabla13642]

u probably need some muscle in the abs too right?

[MrPrankstaboy]

Ur on a hill knum nuts

[yankesjets06]

hey uh when i do a frontflip i kinda get like to much rotation like I land on my toes the only thing i can think of is I dont untuck any advice?

[ovandocarter]

on a trampoline do you need to push hard

[xxxDeadlyJonxxx]

i always land squatted, but how do you end up standing ?

[StephenTheBassKid]

lol does flipping into a pool help at all haha?

[cali4life72]

Ok i don't have a trampoline but i practice on flat ground and using cushions off a couch in case i screw up but i am having trouble getting my tuck in how can i improve that?

[abdrewlegend]

I just have two days of practicing front flip and know I can land it

[kiwilemonlemon67]

dude u r awesome im not gay but i luv u no homo

[TheFreeGunnersXbox]

i always feel when i did frontflip, but now i got it right, i never did the block, that was why lol...

[crunchynacho]

you roll wrong your supposed to roll straight you are supposed to roll from your shoulder to your hip on the other side to reduce the amout of contact to the spine

[6casi8modo9]

I seem to land very hard (the grass gets filled with holes of my heels); any tip? (thanks!)

[DenverNuggets08]

this dude hit a front flip out of a tree on my channel

[abdrewlegend]

dude can i practice sideflips on a trampoline? Is it hard or easy to do a sideflip on a trampoline? nice video, another question, after doing this perfect at a trampoline should i go and practice on a park?

[DewKingZombie]

at 2:44 you did your roll veeeeerrrrrryyyy wrong lol

[Abrexas90]

ParkourBlog, you seem to be misunderstanding what blocking is. It has NOTHING to do with your arms. What you do with your arms is setting. Blocking is how you take off. Which you do wrong, but this should help. Blocking is used to transfer horizontal momentum into vertical lift. To block you need to take off with your feet in front of your body weight. there are tutorials out there on how to do so. Just look at any sport that requires jumping, they take off with their legs in front of their body

[gravitysdepth]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, I am going to work on this tomorrow morning. I only have one question, how do you get over the fear of landing on your head? I bought a trampoline last week for the purpose of learning acrobatic techniques, but I found no matter how much air I get I still am hesitant to try the front flip manoeuvre.

[iassen1]

Thanks man i watched so many frontflip tutorials but this 1 helped me DA MOST!!!

[blitzcomms4ever]

my gymnastics teacher says its all in the hips and with him we either learned fast or go home with a soar neck

[bandit1443123]

He made you give him blowjobs?

[blitzcomms4ever]

@bandit1443123

no.............but allot of my friends fell on our necks I was the first :)

[sroOonFire]

do you know how to do a double kong? if you know please make a tutorial. it will help me. thnx a lot. i learn dash and kash vault watching your tutorials :D

[elmanuelrower]

i need to learn how to do this

[TheBamakid]

ill post my first several attempts on this

[easterbrook2k8]

gd video mate very helpfull

[typerfel]

what is the better technique this or the russian frontflip technique?

[ParkourBlog]

this

[Abrexas90]

@typerfel don't listen to him. "better" is a term of preference. For instance I think russians look "better"

If you are looking for easier.. Usually this is the easier technique.. although he is wrong about what blocking is.

[boxingful]

can we practice on grass

[blue2kid3]

hopefully you don't always roll like that you will damage your spine roll is from shoulder to hip if you rolled on a line of pain it would make a diagonal line on your back

[Elidux]

I you dont ha a trampoline do basic roll with blocking. learn blocking. later try it with a jump. Jump must be performed like shown on this video. jump up with both legs then land on your hands and finish it with roll and blocking. That why I hate freeruners. They cant do even the basic roll and allready doing flips. Start allways with basics

[codygman91]

Watch the generalizations :P

[xHelpNotx]

wow very helpful! I have a sand pit in my back yard to train in so I can do this! =)

[j4ckyb01]

this is easy if u land on youru abck u are definetly not douin this technique cuz i do this technique and the worst thats happened to em is a landed on my feet and fell on my ass but keep practicin and eventualy you'll land properly on youru feet liek me =) nice tut dude 5/5

[Barre1998]

... dont have a trampoline... ;-(

[mrWorldofWacraft]

hey i dont have a trampoline but im trying it on the floor and i have a problem i always land on my back what do i do about it????

[ParkourBlog]

your doing it wrong.

It should be almost impossible to land on your back doing this tecnique.

You're either not tucking enough or not throwing your arms enough

[blue2kid3]

or you could do what i used to do and un tuck to soon go to your local gym and flip in the foam pit but stay in the ball do that over and over then flip and open up keep practicing you will soon get it

[DewKingZombie]

@mrWorldofWacraft lol, the problem is either wrong technique or leg strength, its good to have massive leg-strength, because front flips are essentially harder, also, blocking. look up how to block on this site. it not like a fighter block, its were you block your momentum by going against gravity, e.a jump forward then stretch your legs out.

[SuperTraceur94]

@mrWorldofWacraft i would say your simply throwing yourself downwards when u try to go up

its the hardest bit to do but you need to jump staright up

Thanks for this man its well good the thing i need to get i that you go upwards but the tips on thatll really help :)

xxx

[kookelmcjiggerson]

excellent tutorial. i just needed a few pointers.

[dutchfred]

Yeah nice, i already could do the front...

But it's still nice to watch. only thing i'm not doing is looking forward, but al little bit left. Great tutorial

[j4ckyb01]

i can finally land a frontflip properly now i sjut wasnt runnin fast enough so i did'nt get much upward momentum and i untucked to early =)

[95thomas11]

I can front flip on tramp line, but I'm afraid to land wrong on the ground.

what can I do?

[j4ckyb01]

dude just go for it! think like u can land it and u will if u don't land it properly u will still only land on your ass/feet so it won't hurt hope this helps :)

[billytalent1997]

i keep landing on my back

[ParalyzeX]

You're either not tucking or not throwing your arms. Either that or you're trying to do it from a stand still.

[j4ckyb01]

tyvm now i can frontflip didn't learn on trampoline tho just went for it at the park just need ot work on my landin now =)

[ParkourBlog]

now try it on a trampoline then. It will work out all the cinks and help with your landings

[SuperSlySamuraiSpy]

That was really good. :)

[22ntzs22]

So is it like a jumping summersault?

[Rhodri2]

It is a summersault....

I think you've confused forward roll and sommesault...

[lockenkopp101]

thank you your video helps me alot

apresciate it

[themidgetdemon]

great vid man! keep up the good work!

[justinmporter]

can u help me cause im a lil big and everytime i do the frount flip i will land on my back or butt and i dont have a camcorder

[xibilfc21]

Very helpful, I think I go it.

[RockerZunited]

i need serieus help somebody help me!!!

[ParkourBlog]

film it, and slow it down, i recently did it with this front flip and actually i go down right at the end. Maybe you can figure ur problem out that way

[RockerZunited]

omg ive tryed it but everytime i do it i land on my back i need help

[314flylight]

THANX!!!! I learned how to do it on the trampoline as soon as I got on the trampoline after watching the video!!!! ^-^ NOW I CAN BE A NINJA!

[22ntzs22]

Lol!

[JimOSmitH]

nice tutorial, i'll have to try it sometime. small tip - the red text is very hard to see written over the trampoline. Is it a problem if I can't jump very high?

[ParkourBlog]

i know, i thought it was sorted now :(, got the same problem in a few other videos, but theres not alot of colours i can use that blot out the background, if theres nything you want told what is ment to mean just comment. And i'm not sure, this move is a fair amount of power, so i assume the higher you can jump the better, but i doubt if you can't jump that high u'll never be able to front flip, just work the front flip muscles in your legs (probs best if your not landing to use a matt for that)

[Ametanas]

hm......nice vid like always lol :D

but i wanna to ask you one thing what should i learn first "handstand","backflip" or"frontflip"?

[ParkourBlog]

if you mean handstand by the static holding version, then that. If not its doesn't really matter in what order you learn them. Handsprings are probably easyest and front flips safeist...but there also hardest. so i dunno, i learnt handspring-frontflip-backflip, but thats not 2 mean there arn't other ways

[Ametanas]

thank you, and yes i mean static holding =p

and thx again for tuts.

aw, and one more thing i know backflips are easyer then fronflips but i'm afreid to do them ;F (i'm afreid to hit the ground with my head :D )lol but i'm doing frontflips in my schools gym =o

[ParkourBlog]

yer, thats why i learnt it handspring-frontflip-backflip. I have always been afraid to go backwards, just know you can do it, build the adnenaline and hope :)

[Ametanas]

thank you =]

[nelmen]

lol, i love how your doing it on a small slope so that when you do the flip, you rotate slightly more :P

whenever i try i always land like the failure, but then again ive never looked up "how to frontflip" XD

[supnik]

i started to learn my frontflip in a high jump pit but then i moved to a diving board to perfect rotation. but now i cant seem to get the heigth i used to have and i've been landing on my back. anything i should try?

[ParkourBlog]

if your landing on ur back 1 problem may be mental. You may exspect to land on your back and so you do. But then it could be that the diving board made it easyer so your technique to block may have got sloppy or your takeoff or something. Its difficult to tell without seeing

[metallicaman69026904]

hey dude i front flip off 1 foot is that bad? Beacause with 2 feet i dont get as much height as i do with 1. Can you help me?

[ParkourBlog]

1 foot is weird, if you can do it then do, but often when you start it can be hard 2 figure out where to jump, when to jump and to get enough height. I like the equation 2 feet = full power, 1 foot = half power. But then its easyer to do running if you do it off 2 feet but only if you know the right technique

[catnip828]

Once again, a great tutorial, not how I learned but good none the less.

[Blober112]

lol epic fail 0:35

Nice tutorial ill give it ago .. ill probs hurt myself but wat he hey ill do it anyways

[tailsrocks7]

[KieranMPK]

Good tutorial, just annoys me that i have no trampoline, no mat, and i only go to the beach about once every 2 weeks =P otherwise good tut =]

[JeromePineda]

[dukcaboose]
