[rblack37]

what does your vertical jump have to be do land a frontflip? mine is 22 inches so im just wondering if i would be able to do it.

[Spirit0Selvaggi0]

il più bel tutorial sul frontflip della rete,grazie

[5674trackrunner]

wow really good tutorial thanks! cause i have trouble gettin height with my frontflip and i land it realy low like crouching its really bad. u got alot of height and u land really good! DAMN

[TylerNewmanPk]

Hey, if you guys need any help, there is a video on my channel were i explain an easier technique to help with these frontflips, thorwing your arms in a certain way to get up momentum...

please thumbs up this comment so people can see:)

[gookmail]

after watching this, i still cant jump high enough and i end up landing on my back any1 can help me?

after jumping, i mean like just before i lift my legs off the floor, i immediately tuck and rotate. can any1 help me? pleaseee. whenever i jump too high, i could not bring my self to rotate, i dont know why. any1 could help me please?

[TylerNewmanPk]

@gookmail watch my vid, and please thumbs up my comment below this..

my vid gives you a good technique

[Ruffy2337]

Thank you very mutch :)

[Ruffy2337]

which way is a good way to begin with acrobatics? should i flip first or try some kicks?! and if i should flip first what for a flip ^^?!

[alessio84]

@Ruffy2337

I'd start with cartweels, roundoffs, and in a way or another try frontflips and backflips. kicks is more for tricking, like if you want to learn circular moves ( actually easier to learn the basics)

[5674trackrunner]

@alessio84 when u do the frontflip i get everything else but do u pump out ur chest like make it go out no down without leaning cause i lean too much but i still land it bending like a chair please help

[alessio84]

@5674trackrunner if you land like sit on a chair it means that the last phase of the frontflip is made wrong. As you said pump out your chest, don't sit, and throw your legs under your body to land, keeping your butt stiff (don't bend it)... this is the way you should land.

Another thing that could help you... when you spin during the frontflip try to almost over rotate it, it means to stay closed till the last time ;-) cheers

[5674trackrunner]

@alessio84 thanks and ya i know my problem now because im not jumping high enough i go forward -_- how do u make ur momentum or body go up like i try jumpin up but its hard please help sorry for asking :/

[onhario0]

nice tutorial-effective

[lilj1st]

nice tutorial. I am bored so I am going around through the front flip tutorials on front flips to see how everyone else does them. I am not seeing good things lol. You explained it damn near perfect. lol. My next step personally is to do them with round offs and such but I am not much of a "going backwards" kind of person, so I go for everything else lol. Nice job.

[NanaNarcotic]

I wish I could frontflip :c

[Freerunnersb]

Congratulations!!! This is the best tutorial for the frontflip in my opinion. I have a question, This technique is also used in gymnastic??

[BentMyFriend]

This is the best "How to" I´ve ever seen!

[RaceFord777]

I run and punch with my frontflips but they look sloppy though because i throw my arms down so hard that the force doesnt allow me to tuck very good, so its like a strait-legged frontflip . My landings differ though, sometimes i under rotate and sometimes i under rotate, but i need tips on tucking so my frontflips wont look so un-normal . Any tips Alessio ?

[alessio84]

maybe you're not giving importance to the jumping phase and just trying to rotate fastly. To tuck well is not about rotating but about the way you jump... it's important that you jump UP (with your arms up) and as soon as you left the ground think like you have a tail (like monkeys lol) and somebody is pulling up your tail. This is how i call throw up your ass and throw down your chest inside your legs (ahah sounds funny like this)... and you take the fastest rotation. does it make sense? best..

[berwin1995]

do you point ur toes when you are about to land?

[alessio84]

yes, but i never thought about it... i just land as i'm falling from a height.

[TheJesseLenney]

Very good tut. Only thing missing is he forgot to mention blocking (which is essential for height). Otherwise, great tut. 5/5

[alessio84]

not to be mean but It's been 10 years that i do flips and I've always used and still using the same method on beach and on concrete. I repeat: you don't have to block to do the frontflip on concrete... you have to PUSH OFF the ground. Block only if you have enough speed and if you don't need to push cuz of your speed.

I don't block!! I PUSH... it's different!

If gymnasts tell you to block it's normal... they do it on sprung floor and not on concrete.

Then do however you like...

[alessio84]

-.- -.- ok man you didn't understand. keep going on your way... everybody has his own technique! best wishes

[noobielolol]

shut the fuck up and stop pretending to be smart.

[alessio84]

Yeah dawson on deep sand is not easy as on normal floor... some of these comments are about this famous "BLOCKING". But from a my opinion the frontflip secret is not that... Keep in mind that the real blocking must be made on a sprung floor but on concrete is different... and wayyyy more different on sand. That's why if i want to perform a frontflip on sand i'd never think about blocking. I hope to have a chance to put 1 of my frontflip on sand in my next video :) thx for the comment... peace!

[Hector49er]

What's the difference between "blocking" and just jumping? Sounds pretty similar to me. when you jump don't you put weight on the fronts of your feet?

p.s. This is a question, I don't do gymnaftics or anything.

[alessio84]

Block = PUNCH the ground with both feet

Jumping = PUSH the ground with both feet

[red666A]

I didn't learn this on any trampoline. I don't recoommend learning on that because it does help much on pushing yourself hard into the air. I wouldn't bother try running and throwing youself over. That would only be good if you good at front flip. Get something soft to practice on. Throw you arm up and down and jump high as you can, and tuck your leg in hard toward you chest. Just practice and you will get the feel of the rotation. Give it sometimes.

[alex8645]

those frontflips are just awesome

[Jolbulka]

Oh come on. Why put trampoline thing and call it tutorial? Every1 who has acces to it will try self doing front/backflip. Most of ppl watching tutorials don't have things like that -_-

Nice front, but tutorial isn't good imo. I thing about completly beginners.

[alessio84]

go into the first acquapark next to your place or into the nearest gymnastics gym to your place to find a trampoline...

[alessio84]

so why do you watch tutorials ass hole! everybody learns by his own experience. The tutorial is just a way to help... then it's all up to you how to learn a move

[JumpingHamburgers]

Its nice, but watch my front flip tutorial, its the best on youtube guarrented!

[CrazyMongols]

all the tutorials that i've seen don't work

[Tacettin901]

hey guys ask me how to do a front flip the worlds easy way

[comicfreak11]

Has Any body here landed on their neck or Back attemping this yet^_^

[red666A]

I don't have trampoline to learn front flip. I land on butt and i cannot seem to land on my feet. Maybe i just run fast and then jump into mid air and land?

[comicfreak11]

Thats good as long as your not Landing on your Neck:) or Spine your Doing it right in my Point of view lolololololol

[Starioshka]

fuckin 5/5 and does that invalid argument was because you said butt?

[99percentSkill]

very good tutorial! amazing how that person didnt flinch at 3:32 ...

[FreedomSkater09]

this is amazing, but i can't seem to get the tuck right, but i agree this must be the most perfect frontflip i've ever seen

[6casi8modo9]

Unbelievable!! This must be the most perfect front flip ever! I still can't believe you jumped over a person!! or a car's width!! :O omg*99

I land almost sitting.. I think the problem is is the arms; tomorrow I will try :)

[lalaikas]

Is it OK to practise on grass? Cuz i tried few time on mat, well i did kinda well for first times, i landed on my ass first 2 times and third i landed crouched on feet.

[Th3Wr3s7l3r]

throw up your butt xD funny

[puiutube]

I tryed but i land crunched i want to land strait do i ned to trow my but in the air to work strait for me? or trow it forward.. i tryed on land not trambulin

[ZZShAdIZZ]

THATS!! a very good tutorail!

[Sswindlerr]

Ma non potevi farlo in italiano che non ce n'è nemmeno uno??

Comunque sembra molto ben fatto, complimentz

[Jelchic]

alessio this was the best frontflip tutorial video i have ever seen. 5/5

[altaboy97]

throw up ur butt lol

[edgar581]

alessio thnx to you my frontflips are perfect like yours :)

oh man,i have a problem.ever since i started doing frontflips,my legs started to hurt.i really have a strong pain in my tibia bone,and i had it for months

any suggestions?

thnx

[kickmydog1234]

Shin Splints?

[sk8erballa1]

Any trick you start doing will strecth your muscles so dont think much off it. It's just your body reacting to a new move.

[ElephantMonkey]

I've got the same problem. The general consensus is that you should just go easy for a while until the pain goes away, then go back outside and continue practicing. If the pain doesn't stop, perhaps see a doctor.

[narutofan9999]

you might have overstretched a muscle or something...

[omuleanu]

I always land crouched, don't know what to do, I just can't land how it should

[narutofan9999]

practice makes perfect :O

[pat123544]

i still cannot feel the part where you say to tuck then release very quickly...

[pat123544]

Hey...

I think i need more training on my jump...

do i need to do like leg training?.

or is it i never do the jump part correctly?

if i did it i tell will tell you..

thanks!

[fernandogb91]

[Thienghiem]

he said it's easier if you have a fast rotation..

[Odecca]

hey alessio, thanx for the tutorial it really helped, but i feel that im doing something smthing wrong, can u comment on my frontflip? thnx, gene

[DrewJ16]

good explanations. That's what we need on all tutorials!

[1burnout1]

very good tutorial

This is the first tutorial which is perfekt correct

[Seniter]

I can do a front flip but I don't like to because it hurts my feet when I land. Is there any way to stop that front happening? Please help. =(

[bboydynamix]

yh same wid me man ... aperentli u have to land it perfect height like standin up

xD

[Hairboy01]

hey alessio, im having a lot of trouble spinning fast enough i think, cause you seem to spin incredibly fast, and when i tuck i dont go quick enough to land on my feet... any advise?

[Hairboy01]

and also, why, on the first few forward flips that you show, dont you throw your arms up for height? you just put them up, then jump

[xesogycit]

on a frontflip you throw your arms up for height on the bounce before the bounce that you'll be flipping. during the frontflip you throw your arms down for better rotation, not up for better height, and you can't do both in one hop because then the upward movement will counteract the downard movement.

[Hairboy01]

really? cause in some of them he's definately doing both at 2:08, 2:16, 2:34 (slightly) and onwards... still confusing

[viliusis]

thats because he is a profesional and he said  to throw your arms because its the best way

[adornobunch]

ur frontflip on groound is so clean

[tactuel]

good one man

[johnstreetz]

Thank...very detailed

Greatly Appreciated

[farhanleo]

i find the frontflip harder then the backflip

but still i can do both

try to learn this in a park and get a friend to help u, it will get it easier

[BboySickness]

yes the front flip is alot harder than the back flip because the front flip you fall straight to the ground therefore giving you less time to rotate your body. Fear is what is stopping you from doing the backflip. Its do or die.

[coldplayroxmysox]

i find frontflip a lot easier than a backflip and i'm not really afraid to do a backflip

[adornobunch]

watch my backflip tutorial

[0Mellennium0]

Very nice tutorial, man. You included great details about this move in your tutorial.

[nikolaydb]

push ur BUTT up lol!

[sassa12489]

lol. i love the dramatic music. now i wanna do a front flip.

[im20dontyoubeiliveme]

Lol BUTT

[skewd1]

wtf?i do these without the tuck..is tht bad??

[omgnate]

the tuck just gives more speed and is easier so its not bad

[AliensOHno]

i can do a backflip but not a frontflip

[HamDenture]

I can't do either.

[maglaglaproduccions]

I almost have it.

[maglaglaproduccions]

GODDAMM!!!! first useful frontflip tutorial i have ever seen here!!!

[aminelover4505]

Yes that's it but Davedays has a very good backflip tutorial

[dgcrew]

Umm... We are not comparing this FRONT FLIP with the BACKFLIP tutorial of DaveDays -_-'

[koneksk8]

awesome 8)

[LiLReEpErSnIpEr]

Nice tutorial. You may not have a perfect english accent, but this tutorial is MUCH better than all of those text tutorials where you have to stop it to read it lol. Thanks for help

[aralroca]

Thanks!

[klb2000000]

very good ! I would very love to be able to perform a frontflip on the ground.

[jaytaxz]

truly exellence

[yoyoharryisback]

man ur tutorial is the best i've seen ur very specific and u dont say bloody um between every word

[spikeyboomerang]

I've seen all of the chapters. I find all the examples very spacifec. Nice video!

[TrickingPat1991]

Frontflips are pretty good, but are poison for your knies

[parkour130]

i can never land dem on flat ground

[samuraibong]

lol i'm 11 years old i can finally land a front flip but i had trouble with the landing so when i landed my face hit my knees and my mouth was bleeding dam it hurts

[Danuze99]

perfekt just what i needed

[lilasiansk8ur]

nice... gotta make tutorials to more tricks

[W4llFlip]

That tutorial is really good! It helped a lot. Thanks =)

[xerox2212]

this is very helpful tutorial i do fron flip at nice land ^^

[crimsonmullet]

has anyone ever wondered how to spot a frontflip? cause that's bothering me. not that i need a spotter or anything, but most likely i do XD

[toblarone133]

u can spot a frontflip just like a front handspring

[Diegog5]

Man thank you so much for making this video, I've been looking for one just like this, other tutorials are made by noobies and their goofy landings. Again thanks.

[MattZimol]

Thank You for this movie, thanks to it I got my first Flip and I started to realize how to do most of flipping tricks. Thanks again. If you can't do a FF i recommend using the knowledge from this tutorial. Acromoves owns!!!

[ryuukotsuseii]

that last flip was awesome. iwanna do that lol

[ReaISpy]

i train on pillows

[StealthBalla]

Other tutorials just say to swing your arms up then down. I never got enough height and spun into the ground.  The motion that he's doing with his arms helped me to stay in the air longer and jump higher because it keeps your mind off of the rotation and landing when doing the jump. I encourage you to try to do his swan-like arm motion if you have trouble getting the flip. It might work for you too. Thanks dude.

[Dinamo988]

same problem here

[PAPASTRUNF554]

i do what u sad but i dont have that big jump just cant i can do frontflip on floor so i land on feet but i dont untuck just to small jump see in team zg video plz

[jrzydevl951]

ouch, now i dont feel like trying this

[FunniestVidz]

lol

[williamomac]

Man I tried a frontflip and my balls slapped the ground.

[freshfresku101]

LMAO!!! WTF!!! is that shit even possible!!!

funny man. funny!

[turbo159]

dude mine too

[ArcticSheep]

that was good thanks

[0tsukasa0]

that should help me

[ckparkour1]

wow this is great thanks

[nesjejohannnesen]

i agree, i land on my ass all the time!

[DANVb329]

I'd suggest learning to do them by flipping down a steep hill, then gradually on more gentle hills and finally flat.

[undiaenelaire]

wow! I´ve seen a lot of acromoves videos and they really helped me to improve my tricks ! THANKS !

[Eduard392]

I can do perfect frontflips in a pool, without a diving board. I always land with my feet first in the water, is that good? Am i ready to learn it on normal ground/grass?

[fix098]

jeap i started it  thus:)

[MathieuCockhuyt]

i can frontflip,but i can't flat,before i can do flat,ut now is my landing messed up

what i do now ?

[sitot]

Hmm i dont have a trampoline, and ive been trying it staright off hard ground with cushions (: I go over but cant land, i suppose it takes a lot of practise.

[fanofallgames]

it takes a lot to do it. I landed on my ass 30 or 40 times before I started landing then with a bit of consistency

[DancePimp08]

landing on ass hurts.

[waistdeep122]

i was landing them after about my 5th try, and im 6'3

[elfigos]

very very useful!

go to see my videos: ELFIGOS ACROBATICS &

PURE ACROBATICS

[trikzter1]

[alessio84]

[steveo6890]

[OsamaOllama]

Hmmmmmmm I dunno why I cant land my frontflip on the ground....maybe its nerves or im not just doing all the steps correctly. Well whatever it is maybe this video helped some. I do think this was a great tutorial its just i already knew all the steps.
