I voted FS cause they look so much better bs flips kinda look/feel weird in my opinion. But that's just me.

Frontside flips. They look so uncomfortable though.

frontside flips
illusion style of fs 180 kickflip
but bs flips only look good if theyre done long floater style
think Nick Trapasso

Depends who does them, but I'd say FS Flips

dude for me it depends. I love seeing backside flips over gaps(like those kickers over rivers), but like hip transfer stuff on funboxes, frontside flips look much sexier lol

i didnt vote because it really depends for me. things like whos doing it, what is it on/off, stuff like that.

alley oop bs flips are so sexy

alley opp simply means to turn the opposite way of a natural 180....like a fs 5050 bs180 out...or going over a hip frontside but doing something backside

Depends on how it's done. If Koston does it I would say backside flip. If Penny does it I would say frontside flip. Both can look awesome !

It's hard to vote because depending on the rider they both can look sick.

Both can look incredibly nice but I'm still going to fs flips.

I'm not going to vote because it depends entirely on the person doing them. Some people make BS flips look better and some make FS flips look better, it all depends.

BS Flips look amazing, especially when they're caught 90.

cha-BANG
06-28-2008, 05:47 PM
yeah i'm just starting to see the beauty of a bs flip but with some piv, you know? it looks really nice and smooth. i like hardflip style fs flips

I thnk it depends on where the trick is being done. I personally like the way fs flips look on flatground better, but on gaps and sets, I like bs flips.

zeroNYskater's bs flip set in bgos 3 looked pretty dang good ^_^

fs flips make me really mad lol, i always land with the board half flipped in front of me. i'm gonna try and fix it soon.

which do you guys think is easier?

Backside flips are cool dont get me wrong, but just look at andrew reynold's frontside flip and tell me it's not the coolest thing you've ever seen!:icon_peac

Bs flips.
I love doing them, so it's always really sick when someone does a really nice looking one.

FS flips.

Enminem
08-08-2008, 11:37 AM
it really depends who is doing them. Fs flips have more of a potential of being sick. Bs flips are harder to steeze out.

When both done at their best, bs flips.

fs flips fo sho

hokus pokus
08-21-2008, 10:55 AM
overall i like b/s... a popped clean one where the person rolls away with the same or more speed than when they started is just awesome!

f/s flips are sick, but only when done right...

Frontside Flips FTW!
I can't do them, but they look hella better.

FS. That way, you can see their face, not their ass, while they're doing it. =)
