I'm 31 & tried to do a front flip again last summer after not doing it for MANY YEARS! You just have to keep trying. Make sure that you throw your head & arms forward at the same time & tuck. I kinda tended to twist a little bit instead of just going forward. Keep trying & you'll eventually get it.

whether you have a working or status initiate, initiate the action which contain your hands above your head, Push down and back into the diving board which contain your ft, and permit it to propel you into to air (whether it truly is a springboard this is) bend your knees and throw your hands forward (a matching action to throwing a soccer ball over your head.) do no longer drop your head, think of you attempt to hop over an imaginary bar or fence, (you like height besides as rotation to end the summersault). turn your hips up at the back of you and tuck on your knees, grab your shins, you at the instant are in a tuck place. you ought to be waiting to experience which you are the opposite direction up and (in case you save your eyes open) you will see the water bypass over your head. Wait till you're basically approximately upright back then kick the two ft out in the direction of the water. Kicking out of the tuck shape stops your rotation and helps you the administration your get admission to. in case you do no longer make it around, attempt throwing extra stable and leaping greater. A working take off provides you with extra momentum. in case you come across your self spinning too rapid and going over onto your abdomen, attempt the two popping out of the summersault formerly or leaping greater and not throwing as difficult on the take off. once you get sturdy at a single summersault, attempt a a million a million/2 (that's the place you proceed rotating right into a head first get admission to)
