Tomas Acherer with the good old forward roll

The frontflip is still a cool move – you just need enough guts to throw yourself over the wing and tuck your body in.

A secure fit in the foot straps is almost the most important thing to ensure the board doesn't fly off uncontrollably.

Here, Tom demonstrates the jump at the GWA event in Leucate, captured in slow motion for both directions of the jump.
