Frontflip

From Free Running Wiki

A frontflip, also known as a front tuck or front somersault in gymnastics, is a movement where the body rotates in mid-air by utilizing your forward momentum and sometimes incorporating a tuck. The frontflip can be performed from standing or with a run-up, the latter of which is easier as the added momentum can be used to gain height through blocking.

Common variations include adding a twist (normally 180 or 540) or performing a double, which is frequently seen in gymnastics.
