Geoffrey Robertson LOL, No...I'm still working on it. I spend most of my gym time working on my back handspring and back tucks. I can only get about 5 tries of the front tuck on the spring floor before my shins are spent until next week so it's usually the last thing I practice before times up. For being 44 yrs old I think I'm doing OK. I'll try to get some vid and post next week...I will always accept constructive criticism .
Not yet, I missed a couple classes because my second grade daughter had a school musical last Thursday, I have norovirus tonight and I'm so weak I can't make class, and next week I'm on-call for work. I will do it and post it though. Thanks for the encouragement.
This is the best video ever, i knew how to do a front flip before but i realized I was doing it all wrong & hitting the ground early the smallest tips gave me amazing results i now know how to do a fronflip and its amazzzzzinnng
you really do a great job in teaching someone you seem to have pateince for teaching people the way you talk it shows it. thanks for the tips also it will help me learn this better. Jim
Thank you thank you so much i landed the highest i have ever landed since i started tricking no joke even your backflip tutorial i'm so happy i will all of your tutorials now
Thanks so much, you about to take my parkour game to another level every tutorial leaves out throwing you hips and butt back first to but almost done your flip already , I knew that's what I was missing.GAME TIME!
Me too thunder striker it helped so much all the other vids weren't good and did not help but this was the best video on how to do a front flip on the whole of TH-cam
same, so what you can do is work your flexibility because it just helps so much with your balance and helps avoiding injuries. Or you can start up training to do kip ups until they are real neat, it helps getting comfortable with a part of the move (I know the kip up is very different as it starts on the ground and power is created differently but at least you dont risk falling straight on the head xD)
Just found your channel. Awesome! Showing us the basics. Master the basics and mastery comes later. 2 thumbs up. I will observe, apply and practice! Thanks!
man, thank you very much! i have never done a Flip in my live, i started doing it on a bed and i landed on my back, but now i do the whole round before landing on the bed, im goin to try it on ground soon :) Thanks buddy! :D
Man I've seen a lot of tutorials through years, and today I've seen yours. I must admit that yours are the best ones I've seen. You really explain the essence for doing flips and give very useful advices. Here, you have my subrscribe :)
@elhombre698 you are correct sir. The main point of the take off is to get you shoulders to rise up so you have your core muscles locked so they can throw your upper body in unison. The arms to ears method is just a way to help people practice that consistently. Once your body knows the correct body position you can tweak the trick for yourself and things like arms 100% vertical becomes less important. Nice catch though
I do front flips running, or standing on a high object, but I didn't know it's possible to do it standing on the grond o.O P.S. Your tutorials are the best!
Very informative video. Though I have to say that last flip where you landed on the side of the stack of mats looked like it hurt like hell and cut away just before you fell over, made me lose my shit. Everything else helped me tons though.
@xXTheFakeDeathXx im 6 feet tall, so roughly 183cm. being taller does make it more difficult, and you will learn usually at a slower rate than very small individuals. The difference is you will be able to bring more weight and power in your tricks which can be beneficial when used correctly. Takes lots of practice, just like anything else.
The danger of keeping your knees together is face-planting into them if you make a mistake and land while you're still tucked (e.g. Didn't spin fast enough to un-tuck before hitting the ground), or if you just tuck too hard with bad form and face-plant into your knees in mid-air. I try to tell people to start with the form that is least likely to cause problems/injury, even if it "MAY" not be the most efficient.
hey I have 2 questions for you, first I wanna let you know that I can do a standing front flip jumping from the ground and landing on a trampoline, 1st question: do you recommend me to try it on the ground? 2nd question: do you recommend me to try a double front flip on a trampoline?
Just a note but my front flip use to be terrible because I wouldnt tuck all the way, if you can already do the front flip but it still needs some work, I suggest finding something just a little lower then knee height and really start experimenting your tuck. The better your tuck is standing the better it will be running for it!
Thankyou for the tutorial!! It helped me alot.. I lean forward instead of back lol.. Havent master it but So far im good just need to learn how to land.. The flip i got it right
Hello, first of all thx for your great tutorial!!! one suggestion is that you can explain the movement detail like "KJER"(PICTURE+WORD). I THINK IT IS MORE EASY TO UNDERSTAND!!! THANKS:)))
That was a great tutorial. I just recently learned to do a front flip. When you do them, even when you jump, the entirety of your rotation is at a fixed point in the air and you seem to land in roughly the same spot as you jumped from. When I do mine, I move from where I jump, and my rotation lasts all the way until I have landed, but I have landed in the tuck position that I flipped with and I end up about 8 feet away from the point of takeoff. Do I need to jump more vertically?
Then start blocking (jumping with your feet ahead of the rest of your body) so that you almost land on the same spot you took off.. After you've reached your maximum height then just pull your arms in really quick to speed-up the rotation
One thing I heard from a gymnastics coach is to imagine you're trying to make your feet go over your head from behind, so you jump and then bring your feet up behind you over your head whilst tucking at the same time, it really helps with rotation
FRONT FLIP FUCKING LANDED thanks to all the tips and pointers from the guys in the gym and this vid as well, on the "pop your butt out" while in the air mode
Easily the best tutorial on here man! Been looking at a few others on here and after 4 days practising im sticking the landing but when i land im in a deep squat position (not too good for my knees!) Well explained, thanks dude
Be creative! You can use a mattress, some blankets, or a foamie to practice. If there is a gymnastics gym around your area check to see if they ever have an open gym.
@HowTo28 Yeah i kinda did... haha because the landing wasnt flat, i landed one foot on the ground and one foot on the mats and shoulder rolled out. I think arash thought it looked better with that landing cut out
We I do front flips without running I basically do a forward jump (and keep my body in a 45 degree angle to the ground) and the moment I touch the ground I: 1.Jump with my feet and whip with arms up 2. Quickly whip my arm down and bend my knees 3. Quickly stretch my legs out (when you are better you don't need to do this quickly, at least for me)
i have beeen trying to do it since last year but i am too scared to do it..so every time i try and get tired without learning anything.....toooo badd but inhsalllah i will learn it one day. thanks for the video
@fladragonme well as it is a weird feeling ( getting used to flippiong through the air) so its will take many many (25 -100s) of flips until your body starts to "Feel" the right spot to open. It is also amore difficult flip to land as you dont see the ground before you open, like in a back tuck. What did you mean by "im always very short before a face plant"? can you elaborate please.
I like how he says shoulder at your ears but then you watch him actually throw the trick and just like anyone else his arms are about 4 inches from his ears xD Still a good tutorial, I actually open a little ahead of my landing instead of driving my feet down to into floor directly but I guess thats just a personal preference thing. Also to anyone asking if tall people can flip, yes you can, I'm 6'5" and have no trouble, just practice and learn how to control yourself and it all works fine =D
I'm gonna try it Thursday at adult open gymnastics. If you don't see any more post from me I died trying.
Geoffrey Robertson LOL, No...I'm still working on it. I spend most of my gym time working on my back handspring and back tucks.

Have this guy do a backflip tutorial as well, his descriptive skills are very good.
Best advice ever, it helped me tremendously.
same, so what you can do is work your flexibility because it just helps so much with your balance and helps avoiding injuries. Or you can start up training to do kip ups until they are real neat, it helps getting comfortable with a part of the move (I know the kip up is very different as it starts on the ground and power is created differently but at least you dont risk falling straight on the head xD)

Did this dude really just say "your like the black girl on the dance floor?" 😂😂😂😂 I'm dead! But great advice, he knows what he's talking about 100
The danger of keeping your knees together is face-planting into them if you make a mistake and land while you're still tucked (e.g. Didn't spin fast enough to un-tuck before hitting the ground), or if you just tuck too hard with bad form and face-plant into your knees in mid-air.

I love u man, u saved my flip!!!
Just a note but my front flip use to be terrible because I wouldnt tuck all the way, if you can already do the front flip but it still needs some work, I suggest finding something just a little lower then knee height and really start experimenting your tuck. The better your tuck is standing the better it will be running for it!
Thanks man! Definitly going to order them :)

@THExMPDx close enough. i shoulder rolled out, but i definitely was not expecting the janky landing that followed that flip
Hello, first of all thx for your great tutorial!!!
one suggestion is that you can explain the movement detail
like "KJER"(PICTURE+WORD). I THINK IT IS MORE EASY TO UNDERSTAND!!!
THANKS:)))
U are amazing im not going to try it but you are awsome at front flips
That was a great tutorial. I just recently learned to do a front flip. When you do them, even when you jump, the entirety of your rotation is at a fixed point in the air and you seem to land in roughly the same spot as you jumped from. When I do mine, I move from where I jump, and my rotation lasts all the way until I have landed, but I have landed in the tuck position that I flipped with and I end up about 8 feet away from the point of takeoff.

Its working! Thanks man!
Thank you so much. I can finally do it after 2 weeks
Thanks Bro You Help Me Much :) I Try Tomorow

cool! this is a good tutorial (quite a lot on youtube are not nearly as good)
Thax can't wait to try it!!!!!!
Thank u so much Nathan mullally
One thing I heard from a gymnastics coach is to imagine you're trying to make your feet go over your head from behind, so you jump and then bring your feet up behind you over your head whilst tucking at the same time, it really helps with rotation
punching on hard ground hurts, do you guys ever do your fronts by stepping lightly into them?
Thanks for the video man! NEver thought of throwing my butt up first, I'll give it a shot. :)
Me too
This helped I’m going to try at open gym
U taught me very good technique that raising hands with head. bcoz my Frontflip is not good standing.thankingU
FRONT FLIP FUCKING LANDED thanks to all the tips and pointers from the guys in the gym and this vid as well, on the "pop your butt out" while in the air mode
I'm going to try it.
Thanks...Imma use it when I dance.
Easily the best tutorial on here man! Been looking at a few others on here and after 4 days practising im sticking the landing but when i land im in a deep squat position (not too good for my knees!) Well explained, thanks dude
This guy is awesome.
Can you tell me where i can get those foam blocks you have in your pit thing?
okay ,I got soemthing to do for tomorrow
finally a Frontflip tutorial that actually helps me....arms to ears......booty pop
will come back with news
Be creative! You can use a mattress, some blankets, or a foamie to practice. If there is a gymnastics gym around your area check to see if they ever have an open gym.
how long does it take to learn a decent front flip? been drilling them almost every day for a few months but i keep landing on my heels in the landing
You just got a new sub and a like and a nice comment =D now i just need a good place to practie thought
Wow thx this really helped ^^
I like the this video and it was cool to see how to teach you to flip.
Wow, okay, so there's a whole science to this!
@HowTo28 Yeah i kinda did... haha because the landing wasnt flat, i landed one foot on the ground and one foot on the mats and shoulder rolled out. I think arash thought it looked better with that landing cut out
Thanks where is your gym
Realy helpfull thanx :)
Good tutorial
it also made an awesome sound
We I do front flips without running I basically do a forward jump (and keep my body in a 45 degree angle to the ground) and the moment I touch the ground I:
1.Jump with my feet and whip with arms up
2. Quickly whip my arm down and bend my knees
3. Quickly stretch my legs out (when you are better you don't need to do this quickly, at least for me)
Sèna Gangbè you don't stretch your knees right away when you do the steps and your in the air bring your butt up and your head down
StaryPlayz i never said that i stretch my knees tho
youre so awesome!!!
good idea, thanks :)
i have beeen trying to do it since last year but i am too scared to do it..so every time i try and get tired without learning anything.....toooo badd but inhsalllah i will learn it one day.
thanks for the video
@fladragonme well as it is a weird feeling ( getting used to flippiong through the air) so its will take many many (25 -100s) of flips until your body starts to "Feel" the right spot to open. It is also amore difficult flip to land as you dont see the ground before you open, like in a back tuck. What did you mean by "im always very short before a face plant"? can you elaborate please.
this atcully helped me!
1)Keep core tight
2)Keep arm next to ears
3)Pop my butt
I have been trying to spice up my parkour and i just cabt bring myself to do any flip. I have been practicing the butterfly twist and i need help.
no you have keep your legs together if you want the most possible points in gymnastics which makes the correct way to flip with your legs togeather
thanks good vid.
I like how he says shoulder at your ears but then you watch him actually throw the trick and just like anyone else his arms are about 4 inches from his ears xD
Still a good tutorial, I actually open a little ahead of my landing instead of driving my feet down to into floor directly but I guess thats just a personal preference thing.
Also to anyone asking if tall people can flip, yes you can, I'm 6'5" and have no trouble, just practice and learn how to control yourself and it all works fine =D
What's the music at the end called? If it's yours can you please upload it?
