Answer 2

Well the frontflip is one of the most basic techniques there is but people dont always get it right. Some people would think that doing a frontflip is to curl into a ball with a lot of spin but they are wrong. To do a frontflip you first need to build a tiny bit of speed and before you jump you should fully extend your arms at about ear level, then you would jump and keep your arms fully extended. While you are in the air you are going to grab your shins with your arms giving you more rotation. Its you grabing the shins not the shins going to you. Keep your shins in the same place and use all your entire body strength to grab your shins. Then once you have got that down then slightly release the grip of your shins so that you can land.
