what’s a “Webster front flip”?
Slang for a 1-footed front somersault in parkour and tricking.
Some say the name is (somehow) vaguely associated with chiropractor Dr. Larry Webster, who developed something called the Webster Technique for pregnancy. His thinking was that some kind of acrobatics could help assist in rotating a breech baby.

Woodward West Action Sports Camp
I coached at Woodward West several times over the years. Loved it.
And was disappointed when they dropped Artistic Gymnastics as one of their activities.
That fantastic facility close to Los Angeles is still busy, busy.
For example, there’s a Freestyle Trampoline Camp July 6-11, 2025 (week 4).
Not inexpensive at $1599 for the week. But you could get a $150 discount through the FTA.
If you don’t know Woodward West, definitely check their video.
