Front
Flips are sometimes easier for some people than others. But never
the less, it a fun move to get familiar with. Fronts are a
great move to take off the double up and go huge. What a lot of people
don't realize is that this move is done in more of a cartwheel motion
rather than a flip. This is also a good trick to have under belt, because
there are so many tricks that come from this move such as; Slim Chance,
Front to Revert, and you can change it up by throwing in some grabs. |

1. Start out with a
normal progressive edge in towards the wake. You don't have to rail into
the wake and generate a lot of speed. Usually, when riders come in with to
much speed they tend to slow the rotation down causing them not to get all
the way around.

2.
Once
you get to the wake, make sure you keep your progressive edge all the way
up through the wake. As your back foot comes through the wake push down
hard. At the same time duck your front ear towards your front shoulder to
start the cartwheel motion. |

3. As your doing
your cartwheel keep your elbows in close to your sides, and keep tension
on the rope so you will be able to rotate all the way around.

4.
When
coming around look for the landing, and get those knees ready to absorb
the shock. When doing your front flip you will notice that you will be
able to spot your landing a little earlier than other moves. |
