How To Throw Your First Front Flip On Skis

The most popular tricks on skis are probably back flips, 360s, 180s, and grabs. Front flips aren’t as common, generally because they’re considered to be one of the more difficult tricks out there. But according to skier Hank Stowers, the front flip really isn’t that hard of a trick. In this video, Hank walks you through the basic essentials of a front flip, a few skills and drills to make it easier, and some of the nasty habits to avoid when learning the essentials to a front flip.

While the video breaks the front flip down pretty well, it’s important to remember that any trick, especially one that puts you inverted, can lead to some serious injuries. Only attempt if you’re confident in your ability and understand that you’re doing so at your own risk.
