HOW TO DO IT
Tamedog
The source's forward cartwheel-style flip over the physical nose, distinguished from all generic frontflips.
Preparation and setting
Established nollie awareness and supervised inversion preparation; actual snow feature chosen by a coach.
Known phases / unresolved execution
- Understand nose loading and release in a nollie without inversion.
- Use coached off-snow work for orientation and return awareness.
- The source links nose-loaded departure with coordinated arm action.
- Check alignment rather than introducing unwanted twist.
- Obtain missing snow timing, flight and landing instructions in the actual feature context.
Learning and practice
Keep non-inverted nollie work separate from the flip. Off-snow success alone is not snow readiness.
Errors, limits and corrections
Premature board lifting, mistimed nose release and extra twist change the intended movement.
Observable checks
Physical nose axis is understood; complete on-snow reproduction is still unverified.

01
teaching summary — coaching review required
The lesson develops inversion awareness off snow, requires established Nollie control and connects nose-loaded departure, coordinated arm action, alignment and landing recognition.
02
editorial review notes
Do not treat Frontflip as an exact alias for every forward-flipping axis. Feature and timing decisions require coaching rather than a universal lip-distance rule.
03
Additional editorial review notes
Frontflips stay a broad forward-flip family; not every frontflip is a Tamedog.
