Could someone please explain the difference in a frontflip and a backflip? Is it if you hit ts/hs? Or which way the board rotates? Thanks

Ok by backflip do you mean a backroll or a Tantrum? If you mean tantrum it is rail over rail with your back arched. A backroll is more of a reverse cartwheel or leaned back frontflip depending on style. A frontflip is like a normal cartwheel tip over tip forwars. A front roll is like a rail over rail leaned forward front flip. Also check out the Trick tip section and/or try looking on wb.com in the trick description sect.

tantrum - heelside - like a backflip on a trampoline
backroll - heelside - a reverse cartwheel
Front flip - heelside - a forward cartwheel
Front roll - toeside - like a front flip on a trampoline

You can also do a toeside front flip, which would be a tip over tail rotation.

what about toeside tantrums and backrolls? is it a "gainer" in trampoline terms?

No such thing as a toetide tantrum. That would be a TS Backroll which is edge over edge, not tip over tail. Whoever named tricks, didn't name them consitantly. But its the way they are
