hey guys, today I have a new Tutorial for you!
I will show you the Russian front flip today
for the Russian front flip you use your arms in a different way than at the normal one
you do not go up and than down to rotate
but you swing your arms to your back
and than up
so you will get hight and rotation from it
the most important for the Russian front flip is the right timing
in the moment you jump up your arms have to go up
and when you reach the highest point in the air your arms have to block so you get that rotation impulse
that will give you a fast rotation
so first step is to practice this way to jump up standing
be aware of not going down with your upper body but keep it straight as long as possible
second step is jumping up with a step
do one big step, bring your feet together in front of your body, so you can block to the ground
and do a complete circle with your arms to get more momentum
practice that until you have a good feeling with the timing
if that works out for you, you can start with step 3
its the same thing but with running in at full speed
you will see that this makes a big difference in the beginning
so run in with full power and try to go as high as possible
now you will feel that your arms will give you rotation for the flip, but try to stay in an upright position
if running in and jumping up works good together with the timing of your arm swing you can do the flip now
so unlike the normal front flip you don't bring up your arms and than go down with them to gram your shins
but now you already have your arms at your backside so now you have to bring your shins to your hands
in the same time you have to go with your chest to your thighs
be as tight as possible
and than you will have a fast rotation
and if you open up in the right moment you mastered your Russian front flip
don't give up to fast. It is normal that it will take some time until you can land it. so try to find a safe spot to train it.
