how many times did you do fronts into foam before you tried ramp??? because i can get htem into foam every time i just don't have the balls to try ramp yet

you should try them over a box or something before anything else i think, over a box is more impressive for 1, and about 9/10 when i try them, i land on my ass, but it doesnt hurt since i just slide down the landing. also make sure to tuck as much as you can, throw yourself forward and then pull the bars right to your chest and tuck your knees in as much as possible

bleh i land on my ass because its a tiny box for frontflips but i know what you mean, you like dont even feel it. speeds a good point too, and DEFINITELY commit, for me when i see the ceiling or wall in front of me i have a tendency to take my feet off, but when i finally did hold on to it i landed it....so keep your feet right there, go fast, CLEAR THE BOX, tuck alot

Yeah whenever I go for a backflip I (for some reason) dont get as much speed (= Less height) But I realised I wasent really pumping too well so.... Eeehhh...But I still cant get as much height as normal airs.....
 
I was tryin front tuck no-handers and i got my hands back on, but my feet slipped off and when i landed i bent my knees to absorb the inpact but i went down so far that the brake on my scooter went inbetween my butt cheeks straight to my tail bone.. ahh just thinking of that memory makes me tense up.. a week later i finally landed it.. here look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDi14VWTqAA

Oh and Jordan here just broke his Collar Bone. '

Not doing a backflip, instead riding through a park and hit a crack.
