This is nowhere near a real frontflip on flat, completely missing the point. You're using the edge of the matress to plant the front wheel and make it possible to rotate forward. It wouldn't be possible to flip without the matress this way, unless like trying to flip up a curb or something. Im not saying that you suck, just that this is nothing like a frontflip on flat ground.

The only one doing them properly would be BK, in some garage video he rolls over his back on a matress, then he tries to bunnyhop into it.

Haha, sorry, didn't look close enough. What I said applies to John though, you can clearly see his front wheel hitting the edge of the matress before he flips. I thought you did the same thing.

i get just as close without a mattress.

if you position your bars with a 5/16 bolt in the top and a 3/8 bolt in the middle it gives you more leverage in the back wheel.
