Front Flip Tutorial

[ezkiller93]

There's one thing to correct though. When going for the front flip/tuck, don't punch the ground when taking off. Jump as if you are jumping off of glass. You don't want the glass to break, do you? That's the thing I found out recently when fooling around with my flips, and it seemed to help a lot of people master their front flip ;)

Overall, your tutorial is great. Keep up the good work! :)

[CorporalHotdogs]

Thanks for the tutorials. It was awesome enjoying my freedom when I could. Now that I'm stuck in this wheelchair I just watch you videos and remember the life I had.

[DarkzeraAllV]

Great!

[SnnSnck]

I used to be kinda "fit". But then I got kinda fat (not too much), and without doing exercises, I feel so tired and reluctant now. I decided to start parkour again. But I am too busy to work out and make muscles, does flips really need "muscle" power that much?

[TheAxiss1997]

i cant get the rotation. this is so annoying

[shakespearsplat]

eh somebody also mind the music? AAAAAAAY aAAAAAY XD

[taelX123]

Like if you muted that anoyying Ashh song.

[TaylorBois]

You guys need to actually jump.

[ts199709]

thanks! this tutorial helped me alot

[powerofthefro]

Aight, I'm learning this shit at the gym today, thank you UC!

[FredLundi]

I dont got the balls to try...

[Zyphirr]

Thanks for the textorial.

[ferchmin]

you dont do it good enough to make a tutorial

[Oscarmike14]

tryed 2 do my first front flip and almost broke my back lol

[TheDslide]

SONG IS jazzanova - Bohemian Sunset 

[GTAKID01]

rolling on ground is anoying for me. im 12 and my spine kinda sticks out like a spinosaurus, but not as long;)

[GTAKID01]

i cant do it i just cant, get to were i need 2 flip, and my body just wont let me, 1 hole hour on the grass and nothing. i can only do it on trampoline

[sockeron]

dont hold the tuck too long either i did this and landed on my face and cut up my face and broke my neck

[xRoman97]

unreal tutorial thanks 

[A1ll9e5n]

Wow, this vid had helped me a lot....Gonna do it after I wake up from my sleep....

Good night! :DDD

[14gymnast5]

i did a competition there for gymnastics! :)

[MrMonkeyboyChris]

hey i can do a front flip but i can land it near a nuff all the time but i sometimes land on my back could this be cause i don't tuck, as i never relay tuck when i flip but i now do the occasional tuck. oh and good tutorial btw

[watchurass123]

thanks mate , good tutorial

[LeFreeTraceur]

thanks 4 the video you guys really know the meaning of parkour nd freerunning

[SoulsHunterPT]

best front tutorial i ever seen nice guys

[giolocothebest]

does that do not work that according to the creator of parkour (David belle) is not parkour(no_lo_arruinen)

[Skux32]

Sweet jumps dude !

[dRkN1njaX3]

can this be attempted on grass?

cause i'm pretty young so i cant go to the gym and getting a mattress outside would be a pain.

[ratchetrockon]

@dRkN1njaX3

yeah. I attempted this on grass until I landed.

[Damage961]

I DID IT THANKS! :)

[ElleWellyBelly]

i can do pretty much this on the spot on the trampoline, although i rarely land on my feet, but i have not the guts to do it on the floor. i dont really have any padded areas to practice and i dont know anyone who can do it, and help me. do you have any tips? thanks oh and also, the thought of spinning not being able to see and going over my head doesnt effect me.

[namessuak]

@ElleWellyBelly Honestly, if you can't land on your feet on a trampoline, you probably shouldn't try it on floor yet. But your best bet would be to find a gym in your area with an open gymnastics session of some sort, then ask coaches there for help.

[FreeHackertools]

@ElleWellyBelly go to a furniture store and tell them you want to buy mattreses and buy 2 or 3 of them, put them on a flat surface and practice. then when you feel confident remove one mattress

[ElleWellyBelly]

[williams9026]

the best front flip tutorial

[HeavenSkunk]

thx guys, mastered it =)

[HeavenSkunk]

the ball is the area just before the toes.

[BelowTSurfacechannel]

Im learning it today u was close but just landed on my ass/back and then i ended up landing in my foot spraining my ankle

[macPROvideoEditor]

@NoobSaibot1996 WhatTF how did you find me here hahahahaha nice user name beyotch

[macPROvideoEditor]

such a great tutorial thanks!!!

[HeavenSkunk]

hey erm, i got a problem. when i try doing the front flip on the grass, i always land on my butt after rotating, at first i thought it was because i couldn't gain the height but later when i try it on a big fat crashmat that reaches up to my waist, i realised that i landed exactly the same way. full rotation but with butt on the mat. Why is this so? i have proven that i could reach the height, so height is not the issue... anyone can enlighten me?

[kingantntcarein]

@HeavenSkunk im just leaning to but try giving it more of a push at your jump

[Flyyer90]

@HeavenSkunk Hold your tuck for a little longer.

[earthfrenzy]

@HeavenSkunk You need to untuck earlier?

[bkasavan]

@bewborn774 not exactly, Parkour is the original word. Freerunning is what the british called it when they wanted to use it in movies, and commercials.

[newborn774]

@DantheTobinman parkour is french for freerunniing nice vid

[SylverKnight97]

best front flip toturial ever. Thumb up if you agree

[NeonBodyStyle93]

I started trying to land a front flip about a month ago and first thing I did was to try it on a trampoline. By now I've got it down and can tuck pretty cleanly, but honestly I'm just scared to try it on the ground, especially since I only have grass to try it on.

[richmanlol1]

Nice 1

[briansf999]

watch?v=f0tlOR_kc7c best front flip ever I swear to god that this is the best please like my video.comment and subscribe

[Killerspider762]

Right you arent gymnasts, you just learn your moves in a nice squishy enviroment... Im jealous :P

[dancerboy360]

i cant concentrate with that music -.-

[chrisredfield3636]

I was so happy with my self when i was able to preform one! Thanks for the awesome and helpful Front Flip Tutorial! Le Parkour and Freerunning FTW!

[ReijiFerman]

i tried tis, but why do i land on my back ??? any tips to help me land properly :)

[MasterOfRegret]

@ReijiFerman You are probably just un-tucking too soon. Hold those knees to your chest.

[ReijiFerman]

@MasterOfRegret Ok thx, i will try out to see if i could land

[ratchetrockon]

Started practicing front flips a week ago on flat ground at some martial arts room. The ground has very minimal padding but it's the safest place I got :/.

[sunwooooooo]

The ball of your foot is the equivalent to the inner knuckles of your hand

[MrScR1M]

i will try this :P i hope i can do this

[L0TRFTW]

Should i grab my knee's when i tuck?

[shurdi3]

IDK why but my biggest fear here is falling on my head

[xXD34th5trikeXx]

@shurdi3

If you rotate fast enough, all you'll hit is either your back or your ass. :)

[SimplifiedGamingHD]

@shurdi3 Practice on a mattress or something soft, The best thing to practice on is a trampoline

[Mizzbrii1995]

This video is SOOOOOOOO helpful. I just can't get the last part. I did every step. I just can't get enough air to tuck and do a front flip in the air.

[iwanttofight69]

nice vid

[nsgfilms4u]

@justinjerkoff fuck off u peice of crap he's gone out and made this video and he lands the flip and if you don't crouch you bust up ur legs!!!

[travismw2boy1]

awesome tutorial best ever on youtube, but one thing which part of your foot do you take off on?

[kartman415]

@travismw2boy1 balls of your feet my friend :)

[travismw2boy1]

@kartman415 cheers man ill be well on the way this coming gym sesh :)

[Reaphisoul]

Can someone please tell me where to find friends like that where I live so I can practice lol. Being the only one sucks balls man you guys got a gym and everything man you guys are so lucky. Yet I will soon master the front flip because heres a tip why dont you practice now how to do two in a row like one after another that would be sick cuz then you can move to two then a back flip i dont know youa er the ones with a gym area lol

[iviess]

jerk off Justin, everybody has their own ways.

[longviewparkour]

Wow. Excellent tutorial. Thanks Urban Current!

[BigBoss010100]

thanks guys it really helped me! :D

[JAMES18005]

BEST tutorial on youtube, but annoying music

[justinjerkoff]

In this video, both of you guys are throwing your arms out and over, so you're not getting much height and landing in a low crouch. You're not jumping as high as you can before you set the flip. in the tutorial you teach the flip correctly, but don't perform the flip correctly. /watch?v=xMG2ExpEH1k Watch how this guy leaves the ground before he sets and notice the height. I am just trying to be helpful, your front is good, but with proper technique it would be better.

[DLZPK]

great tutorial, i went outside and practiced every step and improved my front flip, i can now land it better and will teach these steps to my friends to help them too :)

[Hunt2KillYa]

best front flip ever /watch?v=bw_TgpHj8D0

[eko653]

[nonpoint666rocks]

[SkateAllTheDay]

[abchii13i]

[gilArd122]

thumbs up so they can see it

[DJMilk3y]

@gilArd122 you go to a gym pay the fee and go in

[DemonicDefender]

yo if anyone likes parkour look up cross runners on facebook

[versacebughy]

name song?

[Huan3run]

HELP PLEASE !

When I do a front flip I always end in sitting position,how can I make a good height ?

[TheWertMan1177]

@Huan3run on the second jump, slam both feet on the ground as hard as you can.

[ovandocarter]

thank you, you can see my progress. this video gave me front flips in a week.

[DjAstral100]

awsome tutorial, PARKOUR FOR THE WIN!

[DantheTobinMan]

@DjAstral100 This isn't parkour, this is free running. Free running is the added style of flips and tricks.

[isaacdarling933]

How I learned: run as fast as you can

Jump straight up over your mat or thing

Rotate as far as you can

Land

If You land on your but, you are almost there! Try lightening yourself with less layers, trampolines or mats ( I learned on pole vault mats) or just work on your vertical jumping :)

Hope this helps

[11ty62]

this is a very nice tutarial, wish there were more like it on the tube. whats the song/beat?

[ovandocarter]

best vid if you want to learn front flips, after doing this i learnt it in a week. would have been less time if i actually went to gym . but i got it on my first gym sesh of the week.

[DRstaszak]

which part is the ball?

[firebane555]

@DRstaszak between the toe and the middle of the foot

[sdr4418]

@DRstaszak the part of ur foot under ur toes



[Ahkofd]

@DRstaszak i dk if u had taken any response yet but ball is the part of the foot where its main body meets toes

[Skater12341294]

@DRstaszak

It's the part right behing your toes, that sticks right out, it's really hard (boney) :D

[Pyrotechnic1990]

@DRstaszak Do you mean the balls of your feet? The ball is... not just the toe, but the toe and the portion under the toe ( if you look at your foot you will see). Search on google if you haven't understood! :)

[floorballnumber7]

@DRstaszak between your legs :D

[griqs]

@DRstaszak Its the part if you tryed to tip toe around you would put pressure on lower or back past the big toe or under it from different points of view.

[haikalzzz]

yo nice video man!! but i cannot balance my self to landing smoothly like there were so much effort after the jumping ... pls help me

[BboyJov]

@haikalzzz just jump with both feet as high as you can.. and when in the air, tuck your body, then you'll amazingly do the front flip.. remember, as high as you can..

[upperkatt]

If i can manage the break fall and land on my back, will I be able to do the frontfllip without landing on my head?

[crayzeesteve]

@andyfreeforall i can do it but ive only just found a place to train, its a trampoline club at my school but my mates and i just get some matts out and train, u should ask around if it interests u

[andyfreeforall]

I cant do it. Idk why. I say ok now i am going to do it and then the last sec I chiken out. Ok i did it 2 days ago in abou 30cm of snow. Still landed on my back. I said never again. But i still hope i will learn it. I realy want it. I have wached like a milion tutorials and i still cant do it. Can anyone help. Thanks

[Toastman109]

is it true you should start from a small height untill you get used to the rotation???

[ravenwitch1]

hey great tutorial i should practice!!! one question, who´s the music? i kind of like it

[JoeJonasluvsme1]

best video/tut,evs

[KcutcheyXD449]

HA!!! we highly recommend you learn a front flip by doing half of one so you land flat on your back, don't worry this is healthy for you and prevents back injuries; oh and did i mention it requires you land flat on you back? lol yes, yes i did not to dis this guy out but common sense says that step is best to be avoided and "just do it" like Nike says

[jazmanrudi]

I keep landing on my back cause I'm afraid of landing on my neck.Any tips?

[mentalone1995]

@jazmanrudi Just stick with it, keep your cool and go for it. If you stay in the flip you will always rotate to your feet, don't worry friend! :D

[jazmanrudi]

@mentalone1995 ok thanx

[Digitalman271]

@jazmanrudi Go FASTER and HIGHER, and then you'll have an even less chance of landing on your neck!!!

[thewisla95]

is there a gym like this somewhere around Burbank Illinois??

[HitokageProduction]

thx great tips and important information for me

[Tr4c30Ur]

atm im trying front flips (for a week or so) always landed on back coz i tucked WAY to less. Now i got an exercise how to improve my tuck in air:D THanx

[CompleteHollow12]

Thanks For This Video,It REALLY Helped Me Out, Since I Got into Parkour a Few Months Ago, But I Still Feel Like Were Not Getting Anywhere, Because Of Certain Things We Cant Do...So THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS TUT!

[TenguMT]

Best front flip tutorial I've seen so far, I keep landing to the side though and my ankles are bent, im afraid my weight will go down on them and my foot might snap or something, its like im turning to one side in midair, kinda like giving up halfway through ..

[Florjan57]

today i tried frontflips on the soggy ground and landed really hard on my back a lot of times

now my neck hurts when i look to the left for some reason D:

but i don't have a mat/gym/ or some soft bed thing to cushion the landing D:

[IRDEMON]

ive been doing fronts for awhile now, but now i see what ive been doing wrong. it takes me alot more force then it should, and as sson as i used this, it worked perfectly. thanks, random internet dudes!

[000davion]

[TrueInuLink]

pretty good teaching =o would it be good to practice flipping into a pool to get rid of nervousness?

[reppingAiEa]

@TrueInuLink Only for the nervous-ness though.

Dont hope to achieve proper form or technique by practicing into a pool

Hop that helped a bit.

No need to thank me,

Just Say,

Thank You Based God.

[KingCobraOutlaw]

im great at front flips but my back flips arent good

[TheUprisingNinja]

Love how this vid adds the gymnastic roll or watever the fuck it is it should help me get over my fear of flipping

[MungPuMaster]

@TheUprisingNinja It's the first thing they teach you at a gym.

[babalizzard]

I have a question is it better to tuck with your hands on your knees. Or is it better to put your hands behind your knees. When I look at most vids ye tuck behind the knee, is there a difference?

[gookmail]

i always land on my back, any possible solutions to that? p.s i did not jog, i tried flipping at the same position

[Digitalman271]

@gookmail try JOGGING!!!!! DUH!!!! YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION!!!

[gookmail]

@Digitalman271 yeah but the fear is still in me, i tried doing it on the floor , it was not nice. thats why i dare not do on the mattress

[PivoTMarshaL]

Plz help? I did everything right, but I only can land on my butt. Any tips??? PLEASE?

Thanks.

[tenkofthedark]

I think this is very helpful. and you explained it very Well.

[GamerDudeThe8th]

any help every time i do this i over rotate and land on my face lol

[Karkino]

@GamerDudeThe8th i do the same lol

[MrAntiSeiva]

Wow the best tutorial I'v ever seen!!!

[SoccerVidzz]

This video is pretty good man nice work :D i think i will be able to do this when i get some good practice.....basically to me from what you do in the video i would just get a nice run-up then jump and fling my arms down to get the rotation and tuck while rotating...

[WhoaThatWasAwesome]

Can anyone help me? I can consistently land frontflips well on the plyo floor at the gym but once i move to those shredded rubber mulch floors at the playground, i cant land it!

[hebronsawyers]

Best front flip tutorial on Youtube.

[sportyrory9]

wow amazing video great job! but i just cant seem to get myself to commit! any tips?

[Eriikok]

Today i tok my first frontflip on the groud, i dont got any gyms or such so i usually train on grass. I landed om my feets and hands, but i got injured in my fingers (Snot seriusly injured)

[MrNaikal]

yea but in my city we dont have such gyms and me and my big cousin (male , 22 years old) must train outside on the streets or n the grass and its very dangerous but i still cant do any flips but i continue practicing but i have a trauma on my foot and i must not doo that kind of things now : (

[markwoodland1]

the weird person singin in the background kinda sounds like louis from family guy, btw great tutorial

[HelloCentury]

Is this is in Valley College in North Hollywood?

[iDeaTHeoRyi]

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE BE SURE YOU'RE JUMPING WITH THE BALLS OF YOUR FEET. WHEN YOU HURDLE YOUR HEELS SHOULD NOT TOUCH AT ALL, ONLY YOUR TOES AND BALLS OF YOUR FEET. This is what kept me from doing my front flip.

[ParkourNoob94]

I love this video It helps a lot, by the way what is the name of the song?

[jeffboyy1]

@ParkourNoob94 look up bohemian sunset jassanova

[ultimatezero117]

Man, this is what ive been looking for, i have a fear of flips after when i was younger i backflipped a few times and the 4th time i hit my head hard.
