How to FrontFlip on a Snowboard (short tutorial with varios camera perspectives)

[schoco847409]

I learned how to front flip today, it's very easy and u kinda want to pop of ur nose

[forumsnowboards4life]

wait, why would you lean back?

[JPandGG]

literally just broke my fucking snowboard trying this...fml

[Denny2669]

is it realy so easy? i mean, i can do a frontflip without a board but with it, isn´t it a lot more difficult?

[SnoDriftRider]

is it easier to pressure flip like in the vid or to kinda barrel roll it at an angle?

i was trying them today and i kept landing on my heels not quite bringing it around all the way

any tips would be appreciated!

[mustbethafinga]

what was up with that satanic voice the beginning?? good video though

[AllTerrainProduction]

What kind of goggles did you have and what kind of lenses? They looked pretty sick

[mrDGHz]

ive tried these so many times. every time i just land straight on my head and get concused, so anoying no idea what im doing wrong

[MattLikesTricks]

there so easy to get the rotation of. im a skier and i have done them. haha

[ggriffin13]

are these easy? like for a person thats an intermediate snowboarder.

[gabrelibre]

poor tutorial...



[LizMiStopy]

I broke my board last year learning frontflips, this year I broke my board doing double frontflips:(

[Nithralas]

@LizMiStopy Oh my, your life must suck by breaking your board from doing F'ING DOUBLE FRONT FLIPS...... :p

[XxP0llyxX]

i practised on a airbag b4 proper landing it =)

[disturbedrocka]

i got them same pants lol they r fuckin sick...get all the looks

[mrsplitnwigs]

backflips arethe funnest rick i know, well those and tripple cork 1440's of course

[sotiri04]

Chek my turtorial :)

[snowterr]

I found an old snowboard and shredded for an hour in my backyard and landed a frontflip first try!

[Olaipai]

I did it! First try :D

[siggisauerstoff]

@Olaipai yeah dude

[johnnyt1998]

@Olaipa i lucky

[YzFredQc85]

Makes it look so easy =D

[theSTEEZburger]

i can do sideflips with the right side of my body going first, only problem is im regular snowboarder. should i ride switch?

[siggisauerstoff]

@theSTEEZburger or you do a backflip :-)

[TheIndyColts]

Landed it second try, broke my tail at the end of the day

[siggisauerstoff]

@TheIndyColts happened 2 me 2 ;-)

[westyooo]

watching this gave me the motivation to try and now my friends wont shut up about my mad skills ha ha. thanks a ton

[epikphaylle]

that was awesome

[bulletsoulja]

@getsomehomeboy1 have you ever even done a backflip... You need way more air and you can't really pop into it you just have to rely on the air you get off the jump.

[bulletsoulja]

@johnserialjohn no he does mean lean forward, its so you can throw yourself into the flip better like with more momentum.

[johnserialjohn]

dont you mean lean forward?

[KatoProductions1]

good and very simple video i like it! i tried my first front flips yesterday. i found doing them off a slight hill into deep powder was the best way to learn. i think i landed my 4th try? btu its the funnest thing to do and they mad easy. ill have a frontflip montage on my channel sooon! hah check out the vid on there already thou they pretty sick

[theboarderbeast]

I favorite this for once there are no haters in the comments and at the end (haha) we can all learn to laugh at ourselves for trying this and failing (i did ;). awesome vid man this helped a lot

[awinski999]

i tried to land a front flip last night. and even with a crowd of 30 plus people thinking im crazy i still ate shit 5 times before landing this the 6th try. if you want to try this be prepared for the next day when you have a huge lump on your shoulder you cant explain and you can't bend your right knee

[GetSomeHomeBoy1]

I think backs are easier because when u go of the jump ur already half way

[ZachManBeast123]

@GetSomeHomeBoy1 haha no way brah...fronts are easy..backflips actually take some time to learn

[lllMrGrimlll]

Whats easier front or back flips?

[hassonater]

@lllMrGrimlll front definitely. you can spring off your nose so you dont need as much air, backflips you gotta huck and have a ton of hang time. youll see when you start learning them

[24KGeorge]

@lllMrGrimlll front flips. in front flips their also less of a chance to get injured than backflips.

[irideflow]

thanks assholes now im scared to flip i tried last night but couldnt get over i kept landing on my bacK!!!!!!nice video tho!!!

[shredmonkeydwd]

thanks man landed one after watching this tried it again and snapped the tail of my snowboard really nice tutorial:D

[siggisauerstoff]

@shredmonkeydwd

haha ... same happened to me ... you even can see it in the video on my last jump i do with the cam my board snapped-- thats the reason why i look back so confused.... soory mate .. i quess we have the wrong snowboards :D

[alaster74]

@shredmonkeydwd oh dude im guessing u were riding a camber board, there more likely to snap from pressure, if you want to throw alot of fronts then invest in one of the V-Rocker designs, they have tons of diff. types but i like the basic V-Rocker the best personally.

[jamarikl]

is this like the same as a side flip or a frontlfip. like if i can do fronflips on a tramp and on flat i could do this???

[IBITEPRETTYHARD21]

how fast would you need to go? and how high?

[johnnyalonso1]

hey bro - how high of a jump does one need to get good clearing for a flip? thanks

[vengefall]

@johnnyalonso1 like three feet.

[IBITEPRETTYHARD21]

i cant wait to do this this year

[vengefall]

@IBITEPRETTYHARD21 Actually you don't need a jump, just a bit of a dip in the piste.

[redeal59]

so be honest, how many times did you fall till you got it mastered, tryin to figure out if i really wanna do this lol

[TheCultoftheBoard]

 i landed it the 2nd time it was sick

[madcowmenton]

is it easier to do a front or back flip 

[CriminalClown88]

Thx Man .. i Learned how frontflip because of you .. THX !

[siggisauerstoff]

@CriminalClown88 really !?!?!? man you make me proud.. i am such a bad snowboarder :-D

[jonasmusicfreak]

@siggisauerstoff what you think you are a bad snowboarder????? wtf!!! NO!!!

you are really great!!

[thomas93jaap]

Dude! never saw so much snow on one time at such a cool slope!!!

[Maatjetho]

Can anybody please tell me what music is used in this video? Sounds a bit like the Doors, SoundHound does not recognize it, though.

[CG251294]

Cheers dude, nailed my first 3 today :D

[johnnyalonso1]

bangin' vid bro - nice job :)

[vanman125]

is that a jacket or just a sweater?

[siggisauerstoff]

@vanman125 a sweater from ridenorthstar. com

[Blackmagic1o0]

I'm an intermediate snowboarded about 23yrs of age, is it too late to try or do i have any chance at being able to do this?....NICE FLIP btw!!!

[quikboarder93]

@Blackmagic1o0

I'm 17 learned them when I was 15. if you're in good shape and have deep enough snow my guess is you'll probably be fine. the flip doesn't take much out of you... It's the constant landing on your ass, hip, and back when you're first starting that takes a lot out of you hahaha. find powder and you should be set. practice nose butters first though to get the feeling for flexing the nose. good luck

[WildAceXXXGBell]

music reminds me of backyard baseball!

[WhiteSocksOnAFence]

is it more or a side flip than a frontflip?

[quikboarder93]

@WhiteSocksOnAFence

feels like a frontflip looks like a sideflip. dont really have any other way to explain it haha. it's weird. you take off and it feels like you're going forward but your flip is actually sideways. don't think of it as a sideflip if you're gonna try it though you'lll probably get screwed

[sgtsnakeeyes11]

varios? smarttttt

[Joojamo]

thanks dude! it helped a bit :)

[christlicker]

lol. I likes it when they hit there hedz on the ground so hard!

[Churr2010]

HAHAHA nice try on that last one :D

[LizMiStopy]

I think this trick is really simple, there are couple strange things about frontflips, but after few tries you would land it (I've landed my first frontflip on feet 3rd try;)).

But what I can say, to make it easier to do is, when you take off the jump, try to jump with straightened front leg, it makes you jump higher and spin faster. Also, when you're in the air, try to grab your knees, it makes your hand stay close to the body, that makes frontflips more stylish;)

peace;)

[LizMiStopy]

@LizMiStopy And if I made some mistakes, forgive me, I'm from Poland;)

[fiasst]

yeaa boi! im gunna learn this at Snowbombing 2010!

[nicolaswowgal]

atm im learning da front flip i have landed it 7 times :) and bailed 17 just need to spin faster ....

[MrAubuchonz99]

who thinks i should try frontflip its my first year 16 days in and hittim all things at mh and s box and rainbow rail blue

[iknowmyname94]

it aint hard:D Landed them myself last year, the only thing that helps is a little bit longer kicker (if its a small jump) because you start your rotation a feet before the lip or something :)

You really dont need a "tutorial to do fronts" because they tell you just the same things you know from before^^

[b3nl3vin]

frontflips= gay dont be a pussy go for the laid out backie

[sportsfreak936]

just got a lot of snow at the mountain i go to. took a few tries, but im landing them now.

[SpencerMusicLife666]

which is easier frontflips or backflips? i learned how to do front flips into a pool this summer but im not so keen on backflips

[nike6pointoh]

@SpencerMusicLife666 frontflips are way easier to "flip", since you can prtty much do them off the ground, but its almost imposible to spot a landing, so they hard to land. backflips just take more balls

[mackexr]

@SpencerMusicLife666 Front flips are harder to learn with the right technic, but backflips are easier to do right after overcoming the fear.

[fitzkee45]

tried this for the first time yesterday, went well the 1st time, the 2nd time i think i broke my nose haha

[superoo00]

you are funny :D btw nice frontflip.. thanks.

[lossev]

I tried this for the first time yesterday... I landed like he did at the end :P

[schworxprod]

nice vid! ride ooon & take off :D

[weerpool14]

You forgot the most important step: step 7: be prepared to eat shit all day before you land one

[backyardskater4]

[johnward11]
