[@fr0sty430]

Thank you so much! After watcing this video I tried a frontflip on a park jump and got it at first try :D

[@ErikOnEarth]

Great tutorial! After almost 10 years of not skiing I was reluctant to do a frontflip again. After watching this video I managed to land some in the park again 😁

[@D0A17599]

no air pillows or foam pits in my country as far as I know. And no powder this year either, but damn it looks fun. I need to try this asap

[@StompItTutorials]

+D0A17599 Dig you own jump and fluff up the landing. Do the best with what you have.

[@D0A17599]

+Stomp It Tutorials Thanks man. Ive been skiing this weekend but couldnt get my courage together and try a front flip. But at least I made progress with my nosebutter 180°. Great content btw, but I would love to see more flat/ground tricks (or what theyre called). Have a great day

[@D0A17599]

+Stomp It Tutorials Oh my, just saw that you live in switzerland. Was this shot in switzerland as well? If so, where are those airbags located? Thanks for the effort

[@tomnrseven]

+D0A17599 laax:)

[@meeshootkin]

you should have trampoline facility. i hope you do. you could do many, many flips there to build your confidence and control while in the air. then just bring it to the snow baring in mind that skis are heavy and you need more energy for the spin.

[@allivormala]

I learnt frontflip on skis 2 weeks ago. I first just fell a roll and next time i and my 2 friends just sended it, then a few days later i finally landed it and i was suuper stoked!

[@Dm-cd6pp]

Realy thank you for this tutorial I first landed today in the powder Im so Happy

Thanks man gonna try this without practice tomorrow on snow ill come with an update/hospital review

[@jacobnicholson6527]

Thank you so much I listened to this but took it straight to the park jump and I landed first try

[@allivormala]

Very nice

[@m3lfbreezy]

any tips on how to overcome that scary feelz right before trying a new trick? Im always afraid of doing new tricks just like backflip and frontflip. I can do them on trampoline pretty fine, even on flat ground. But when it comes to skiing, im always super afraid...

[@StompItTutorials]

+André Werner Well yes. Slowly make it more difficult. I am rarely afraid since I have been slowly making more and more difficult tricks. This builds up your confident. If i am scared its a sign I am not ready yet. Maybe I will do a video on this some time.

[@m3lfbreezy]

+Stomp It Tutorials cool thing, thank you.

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

+André Werner I think a good step, like it's said in the video, is to repeat the movement on powder or airbag, just to master the feeling of the flip, with the weight of the skis, and the size of the jump. Doing that avoid me generally to under or over rotate the flip/move. (sorry for my bad english i'm from swiss)

[@m3lfbreezy]

+Joonas Happonen thx, will try that for sure.

[@jacobnicholson6527]

Just go for it when I tried my first front flip I just went for it and I landed first try

[@jeremybeck5]

never really wanted to try front flips but damn they look fun. maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow!

[@StompItTutorials]

+jeremy becker they really are and once you get it down its great to do every where.

[@muellnernick2794]

Thank's mates! I stand in front of the jump and i really wanted to do it. Than I thaugt: Did Stomp it tutorials upload a tutorial for the frontflip? And yes!! Really happy with my frontflip now :) Thx a lot!

[@StompItTutorials]

Haha thats amazing! Thanks a lot. I am glad you got it down! /Jens

[@theholybasket6053]

I can front flip on ground like 2nd nature but is doing on skis and harder/scarier

[@StompItTutorials]

Yes its a bit harder to to real small since you have the long nose of the ski making the start of the flip a little slow.But you can do it big and then it takes much less effort than on ground but you have to judge the air time and rotation to get the timing right.

[@vincentfosser841]

I cant do it on ground and barely on trampoline but my first try on skiis I still managed to land on my butt :)

Please don't some continuing.I am from Germany ( Border to Austria 5 min ) and i have no chance to practice on sporttrampolines and every Waterramp is 3 hours away. So i had to do much research for learning new tricks, because I only can try it park. With your tutorials I was able to learn a 360, Backflip, and Cork 5 (Tried a Cork 7 :D). Thank you man!

we dont have air bag so i did it on snow the first time and i did it second try :)

[@hannese3757]

Very good video m8 ;) I think i will try it on the weekend... What do you think, should i try it over a small kicker or is it better to do it on a side hip or something like that? Keep on with your great videos;) i realy like them! Cheers!

[@StompItTutorials]

+Henel Baum Thanks a lot! I think you should do it on air bag then powder, then kicker. Try to do it on to as soft landing as possible at first. Since backseated or back landings aren't very comfortable. Good luck stay safe and stomp it! / Jens

[@tatelarkin7240]

I'm 11 and going to try one this weekend I can't wait!

[@tyroediger8615]

I have frontflippped off the knuckle many times last year and would land consistently but this year I have longer and heavier skis and keep under rotating and don’t know what to do like I don’t get enough pop off my skis. Any tips?

[@jackxduffy]

I can back flip and front flip on tramp and theres no airbag at my ski hill. I'm way more confidant with front flips but the pop for them scares me on jumps. what inverted arial trick should I try first that is low risk (misty, rodeo, etc.)

[@fritzboyvlogs1463]

I was trying this yesterday and snapped my ski in half, I guess you can say my new year has started pretty rough.

[@henthunter]

I ski at a very small ski hill and the jumps they have are not very good, especially for frontflips. I really want to try to prove to my brother that I can do it. I think I should make a jump. Any tips on how to build it?

[@DuMarais777]

just a little question : I want to do either the front flip or the back flip and I don't know by which one I should begin to try... a little advice for me ? thanx à lot for all the mates you do ! it's just perfect and clear !! big up !!

[@leonlebrun9104]

I tried frontflip first and fell on my back, then tried backflip and landed it no probleme. So i would backflip is easier but scarier

[@meeshootkin]

backflip is easier indeed. plus you see the landing pretty soon. but it's scarier as well. try it on trampoline and check which is more natural to you

[@DuMarais777]

thanx i will try this winter !!

[@walle7361]

I would try front first because it doesn't hurt that bad to land on back. It hurts to face plant.

[@helmner8585]

[@StompItTutorials]

+Helmner Thanks! :)

[@benplank434]

Is there anywhere where there is indoor skiing facility’s with foam pits or air bags ect

[@DuMarais777]

OK thanx :) but yeah its true I'm more scared to try back flip than front flip but if it's easier I will begin by the back ^^

[@hwing-ls3wy]

I get no snow I ski east coast and at my mountain the jumps are small (like 3ft max) I want to try one, do you think I should are nah?

[@bensflips]

hey man! i dont have access to anything soft to try my first backflips and frontflips on but i do have 7 years of parkour experience and i fully understand all the points in ur videos and i can easily do these flips on ground. yet i'm still scared to try these on skis cuz of the ski boots. so, does the weight of the ski boots really affect things during a flip or do u not notice it too much if u have the right tech and enough height? lastly, in ur opinion should i be worried as much as i am rn or nah cuz i've been flipping for so many years? thanks so much for the help! ur videos are great

[@keenan4536]

Weight doesn’t affect much, just send the backflip like a gainer it doesn’t hurt much to mess up

[@bensflips]

@@keenan4536 word I learned it last winter. Shit was hella easy lol. Way easier than I expected. But super fun 🤙🤙

What if you don't have a foam pit or an air bag? Wing it?

Powder, powder powder or just any soft landing.

Yea pretty much just try for powder if you can

I can do a standing front flip from one leg(Webster) or two legs on grass. Do you think I could just chuck it?

Probably but I would recommend to stay safe and follow the steps.

[@josht3326]

I want to start working on flips, but I don’t know what to start with. Are front flips easier or backflips? I’m more confident with backflips on a tramp.

[@lorien544]

Im not sure but I think that backflips are harder because with front flips you can still under rotate and not catch your skiis, not sure tho :) I think front flips are lower risk

[@elwiwithegreat7771]

I don’t have an air mat should I just send it?

[@astarinourgalaxy9220]

I’ve been trying to do a front flip since last August. I had fallen so hard some times that my legs were in so much pain that I had to be carried off the slope. I had tried to do them again yesterday but I had a mental block (what my instructor called it). I had watched your videos on Fear but it didn’t really help me. I really want to do a front flip -any more suggestions?

[@nicoledunford483]

make sure you are completely confident doing them on the trampoline and you could even try going outside and doing the with a run up on the grass. Once you are very confident do them on little jumps, maybe even just ledges, but make sure they are big enough for you to tuck so you do not sustain any more injuries.

[@Animategrey]

what do you recommend doing if your local mt. is kinda shitty and has a total of 2 jumps, 3 rails, and 1 box in it's park all year.... There are some better mts that i go to sometimes a few hours away but i cant go there all the time because it's expensive and I'm a student.

[@StompItTutorials]

+Animategrey Well tell me about it. My tip for you is join the ski club and help them make it better thats what me and my friends did back in northern Sweden. I grew up skiing a hill thats a couple of hundred meters long with 1 jump 2-5 rails and it was enough to do thousands of laps and learn everything I know pretty, have a look at the place. www.freeride.se/photo/search.php?search_type=location&search=klutmark Erik also is a good skiers that started with the same humble begging www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/783278/Erik-Lundmark-2015

[@fullgrip3380]

I'd like to ask you, what's your height, and whats the length of skis you ride? It would be nice to see a lot of answers from the other guys, who's riding the skis. I'm just trying to figure out which length do i need, i got 176 line skis step up 2012 and my height is 178, so i'm trying to figure what's better for me 164 or 171 Armada el rey 2016, i appreciate your answers guys.

[@StompItTutorials]

+Full Grip Hello sir, I ride 185 völkl wall. And as you maybe seen I like to hit big jumps doing tricks up to double corks and then they are great. But for just jibbing in the park I would be happy with a 175-180 cm ski.

[@fullgrip3380]

Thanks a lot for info, but what is your height, so I can compare, thank you Sir)

[@lusikka-yl7kj]

Front flip is still a bit scary after 70+ good lands but very very fun trick.

[@eric_anghel]

I can frontflip very comfortably on a trampoline and on the ground, should I try this on my skis? I dont have any foam pits or air sacks or anything to try this on. Is it any different than a normal frontflip? Just wondering because I really wanna try one.

[@StompItTutorials]

+Eric Anghel Yes it is a bit different because the jump leans you back abit and you have to manage to move your body weight over the noses. Follow the instructions in the video and build your own jump with a powder landing or fluff up what ever snow you have and and you should be fine. Stay safe, Jens

[@eric_anghel]

+Stomp It Tutorials Thanks I'll build a jump and try one.

[@meeshootkin]

also consider that your skis are quite heavy and you should put more energy to the flip.

[@dominicmiller9985]

I have a trampoline would it be a bad idea to try being my skis on there? And do the skis affect the rotation a lot?

[@StompItTutorials]

+Dominic Miller dude that sounds sketchy.You may cut holes in you trampoline because of the edges. There are good trampoline snowboards out there but I haven´t seen skis yet but i guess they exist and that would be a good idea. I you find any let me know.

[@dominicmiller9985]

+johannes zzyl you welcome. good luck landed it this season ;)

[@StompItTutorials]

+johannes zzyl Yes just like the real art of sport said you get better pop and rotation that way. When you do it from both legs it is harder to like flip over the noses of the skis. Have fun learning this tricky at first but then super fun and "easy" trick.

[@johnnness2195]

+Stomp It Tutorials ok thanks i will do my best :)

[@dannydressel7433]

I know this is off topic but whenever I 360 on skis it always seems as tho my legs spin faster than my upper body and my head is lagging behind a little. I can still land the 360 fine but I feel it looks sloppy any tips to fix this?

[@m3lfbreezy]

+Danny Dressel rly easy to fix this, had that problem when i started skiing. Key is, to just CARVE into the jump. With the carving motion you dont have to do really much in the air. So if you spin left, make a right hand carve, if you spin right, a left hand carve. At the take off, bent your knees, popp off. And you rly feel that the 360 comes round naturally. If you'd like to know how much you carve, easily search for 'Jossi Wells Trick Tip Cork 5' and you'll see how you should carve.

[@dannydressel7433]

André Werner Thanks! Ill try this next time!

[@meeshootkin]

a good thing is to practice flat rotations on the ground. without skis. start by 180s and 360s, and hold arms to your chest. control that your axis is straight, you are not under or over rotating and land straight as well. also, make sure you jump high using both your legs to initiate the jump. then start adding arm swing little by little. you should be able to spin 540 and 720. then you could try it on trampoline as well, controlling your legs arms, head whatever. you could also do shifty which is separate rotation of upper and lower body (find examples on youtube). kudos.

[@dannydressel7433]

meeshootkin lol you a little late, i figured it out but thanks!

[@meeshootkin]

that routine also helps you spin faster, for all that 7s, 9s and whatnot. so don't ignore mastering technique on the ground and trampoline.
