How to frontflip?

[Whatarewordsworth]

Ive seen videos of people front flipping through the air, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it myself. I jump and hit shift(roll) while moving forward but nothing but a normal jump happens. what am I doing wrong?

Sprint hit ctrl or whatever your crouch is to slide, jump with crouch held down.

Actually, yeah

Yeah, I've actually noticed you can do a little roll by doing that. Except that you actually roll, not sure why you can't do it. :c

But ye, this works best since you jump really far with it.
