Flipping: Tantrums, Backrolls, and Frontrolls

Ok, So I'm starting to understand the concepts, but what's the difference between a backroll and a tantrum and how are they each executed differently as far as approach and everything.

Also, if you can't do a frontflip normal or on a trampoline, etc, how do you execute a frontroll.

Basically I'm just looking for tips on the inverts to make sure I'm practicing everything right when I get the opportunity to try them. Thanks.

OK well a tantrum is a back flip off your hs edge, a back roll is sort of a front roll of your hs edge. The cut to the tantrum is fairly hard and the backroll cut isnt as hard.

When you do your frontroll cut in about fairly hard and the wake will trip you over just like a normal front flip off a cliff or what ever. Hope this helps.

a backroll is a backwards cartwheel. back roll - tip over tip. tantrum - edge over edge

vip20882000, you forgot to mention that a frontroll is a toeside only trick.
