Bonk Frontflips (Out of a bank)

[Victor C.]

At my local indoor, we set up this thing, right at the top of a bank, to bonk frontflip. Any tips? Its a relatively steep bank, and we have 2 thin mats.

Thanks

Honestly, they are one of the easiest things you can do, no joke. Just go really fast, and when you hit it jump, tuck into a ball, and spin. A few days ago I did them over a basicaly flat pyramid, and off of a 1 foot ledge.

Sweet. My friend was trying them (Unfortunately I wasn't there) but he got vid, and I know what he's doing wrong, he didnt tuck at all, so hopefully I just commit, thats what helped me with frontflips on my feet.

Bump because today i had an idea, which is probably very stupid, but any how. If i make a ramp thinger like seen below, black is a peice of plywood blue is just the supports and the red is a peice of wood to bonk off of, do you think it would work. I mean since it wouldnt be onto a pyramid or anything i would half to spin as fast but i think it seems possible.

 

[Chris Vincent]

It has to be very sturdy, when you hit that peice of wood its just going to fall off..

 

[Frank T]

I mean it would be screwed in and stuff, not just sitting there and i could reinforce the back to make it stronger

 

[Chris Vincent]

Yeah it has to be really really sturdy, cause your going to be going as fast as you can and just slamming into it haha. But that would work.

That's kinda dumb to just build a ramp to do one trick. at XW I just had people sit on this flat rail that I put at the top of a bank.
Here's the vid:

Yeah I know i just dont have access to a skatepark very often and im not sure if id feel comfortable trying them straight to asphalt at a local street bank

 

[Dom Marconi]

Wood is definitely a shitload softer, but just try and trash pick an old mattress or two and practice em.

I've actually done that off of smaller and bigger ledges. At my local there is a pyramid that is almost flat, and I used a brick and frontflip tucked it. I'll try to get some video.

Im actually considering trying this at a local street bank if i can get something soft, so do i just hit it with my wheel, and huck it?

 

[Chris Vincent]

Right when you hit it you kinda jump, and just huck. The brick does most of the work.
