backs are obviously easier
a) you can spot your landing way before your feet are near the ground
b) just easier to throw it and hang
.. fronts take a little more to think about.. gotta prepare my mind atm to do fronts, and you cant spot your landing like you can with a back.

Totally agree with Kiola their
and once you learn Baranis It becomes harder to land fronts as well i found
Backs are just so much more relaxed and easier to do from a greater height in my opinion

So far all I have is trampoline experience (getting some bocks soon) but ive always found front flips more relaxing, less scary, and easier, go figure ^^

ive always been much more confident going forwards, i used to dive a lot and i only got backflips down in the last few ytears.
i can do a frontflip on my feet though, after a lil run up anyway.

I would love one day do just one flip, but with my size and weight things could go very wrong so I don't think I ever will  |

DK if you can do it on a trampoline, or learn until you can there is no reason why you couldnt learn it on bocks. Its all about ability and confidence.
Ability you get on the trampoline, confidence from tescos. £2.99

I may try to buy a cheap trampoline or a cheap crash mat, and use it in my back garden, when I go back home at the end of may

duz eny 1 no if the stilts make a difrance in doing them coz i wanna give it a go but im being a pu**y about it lol They do make a difference, increased area means increased resistance in the air, and combined with the additional weight means you need to put in more effort into the rotation. However, once you get the rotation going the increased weight on your feet also means they increase momentum and help to pull you round a bit more. But they are certainly easier on a trampoline than on bocks. Can you write a bit better though please? Took me a while to work out what you had written  |

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it. The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know. Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all. |

im Dyslexic, i sold my soul to santa
differently now ive landed a backflip they waaaaaay easier, although i still find them easier to screw up then fronts, landing fronts is the hard part, as with your weigh slightly forward your prone to having to gambol once landed and if your back the hooves may slide or bounce out.
once you have the tuck for fronts its only the landing but looking over your shoulder is the best way to kill a good backflip

dyslexic here too.. i wanted a career change and thought i'd take up pimpin' low and behold i ended up buying a warehouse as for the flips i can see the backflips being easier i can pretty much land them on my feet from standstill off the floor but then i guess most the flips are just a case of repetition and confidence.. |
