Is a front flip easier than a front handspring?

Answer 1

It's easier to do a back flip. You get more leverage, and you can control you path and landing much, much better.

Well I can do a front flip on the trampoline and I learned when I was six. But I'm trying to do a back flip and it is hard, but I have heard that doing a back flip is SO MUCH EASIER!!

I am a gymnast/freerunner and I'd say a back flip is easier but there more fear but a front flip is harder(you need more height and a faster tuck) but less fear.

You should go on youtube and search for a guy called jujimufu or Epic1 they have helped me a lot these last few years.

It's Harder to do a back flip, most importantly because people have a fear of going backwards.

Answer 2

A frontflip is harder than a backflip because you have to use more force to go forward than backward. Therefore, a frontflip takes extra energy and is harder to land/rotate. Since a backflip takes less energy it is easier to complete. They both take a lot of skill but I would start with a back-handspring, then a backflip, then a front-handspring, and then a frontflip. Good luck!

Answer 3

definitly a back hand spring if you arent scared to go backwords

For me it would be a front flip. Even though I can do both I just got my front flip first. For me on my back hand spring I had the fear on falling on my head, but in a front flip if you chicken out or mess up all you have to do is put your hands down. But everyone is different. :)

Answer 4

Backflips are actually easier, but I would start with a frontflip because they are not as scary, and much safer.

A handspring in so much easier as it is basically a bouncy cartwheel whereas a flip is hard to get all the little details perfect
