I thought I would try to pass on what I know about a front flip on my pro jumps so I wrote this tutorial: http://www.urbantricking.com/index.php?contentId=65

and made this video to go with it. Hope you find it helpful:

any tutorials on tricking?

Well I was thinking about doing some, but there are so many already out there there is not much point really...

check out www.trickstutorials.com and do everything that guy says! That should help loads

Very helpful and useful advice given in the tutorial and the video helps demonstrate what each step should look like.

One piece of advice which I know would have helped me is.. You talk about practicing doing flips without the PJs first so maybe you could have included one flip done in the same way without PJs in the video so we can relate the two.

But that is just a minor thing

I certainly will use this video when I get to the stage of doing flips but as I havn't got my PJs yet that could be a while yet

I did think about this. But I thought that there were so many front flip tutorials already out there on you tube etc. that mine would not be necessary. However I think in the future tutorials I will do some demos on my feet too.

hello all i can peform front flips on trampolines and from a run on concrete and grass, so i find this very easy and i only just got my pro jumps

PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO PEFORM THIS MOVE I RECCOMEND YOU TRY LANDING IT ON YOUR FEET FROM ONE BOUNCE ON A GARDEN TRAMPOLINE,as this will help perfect your technique.
you might want to try some other basic flips on the tramoline before pro jumping them

happy tricking/flipping

REASY....PM me for any tips

First post whoooo

I think he was asking Ian (urbantricker)

Ian started off by doing gymnastics/parkour/freerunning then transferred it to bocks at a later date. He says it is best to learn it on the floor first, then do it on bocks.

adzi · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2007, 11:11:14 PM »

or yopu can do it on the trampoline make note of how high you go if you can do it on one or even got one

sprog · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2007, 11:13:50 PM »

I can land flips on a trampoline easily though but I can't get the rotation on bocks because of the additional weight.
It's totally different to doing it on bocks to doing it on a trampoline.
