Front Flip

Type of Trick: Flip

Tricks which require a solid Front Flip: Axe Webster, Double Front Flip, Front Full

Abbreviation: FF

Description: A trick where the performer jumps up and rotates 360° forwards along the sagittal plane (or about the x-axis), before returning to his feet.

History: The mystery of the front flip lies in the increased difficulty over the backflip in contrast with the much lower scare-factor. Most people feel safer attempting a front flip, yet ironically fewer people can land one successfully. The two main reasons this trick is difficult to land is because most people jump forward instead of up, and most people open their chamber too early. Consider those two things, and the front flip is a Class A trick.
