almost everyone ive talked to/read anything about will say backflips are easier.. i've never tried a backflip but i think frontflips are a lot less scary and it wasnt to hard to get them dialed in

im afraid to backflip but if i had a foam pit id learn fronts, i just picture to many things going wrong with back flips and that i cant do them on trampolines

i think front flips are easier than backflips, i cant backflip or frontflip on a scooter but i can do both on a snowboard and landed a frontflip first try but it took me like a week to learn backflips
 
backflips are way eiseir because you go with the ramp front flips are less scarier but you have no momentum when you do the flip because you push forward against the ramp i tried frontflips before backflips now i can do both and always do backflips and never do frontflips

Backies are easy but scary.
Fronties are hard but not so scary.
Thats usually the case.

Backflips are technically easier than a 360 and are easier than fronts, It's a natural rotation out of a quarter. takes balls, but they are a shit ton easier than fronties. I have yet to land a front flip. only tried 2 and that was before i had attempted them into foam. outcome : bruised tailbone and no riding for a month haha.

Backflips are way too easy, just takes a shitload of balls.
Frontflip are not scary; there aren't too many ways to hurt yourself with them either. I try like 20 each weekend and I keep getting so close, but it's so hard to make it all the way around.
