text: to do a front flip is it easier to be a real good diver? ok my a realy good diver and i need to learn how to do a front flip off a regular diving board. my friend said that i had a good diving form to do it but im not sure that im doing it right so i want ed to get some advice first cause the last time i did a flip it ended badly. doing a flip doesnt have much to do with diving.  you have to have a good bounce and be sure to commit to the flip.  if you dont believe yourself, you wont get it. just keep at it and you will get it.
