A "backflip" is called a tantrum, and is a lot easier than a front flip, if thats what you wanted to know. If you want to know why fu said what he did, I'm telling you he's being sarcastic because a frontflip is a hard invert.

Ok got it.
Didn't know it was a tantrum Shocked

That was what I learned for my first invert. Sorry, Thanks Very Happy

Actually, tip to tip heelside fronts are super easy. I think I stuck it on my fourth or fifth try, they are easy to take big and be consistent.

What front flip the HS front or the TS front.. big difference my brotha...

I will give you a hint most people find the HS backroll to be the easiest next would come the Tantrum then either the TS backroll or the TS front roll... TS fronts are real hard to keep the board going tip to tip instead of rail to rail... ((thanks Zane)).... I know people will say the scarecrow is easier than the TS frontroll but not for everyone.

don't take this the wrong way SMURF but you need to get terminology down better so people know what you are really asking, that's why Fu was bustn' on ya....

PEACE

backwards tip over tip is a back roll. rail over rail front flip from the hs is a mexian roll.
