help Webster FAQ
What is a Webster in acrobatics?
A Webster is a forward salto that begins from one foot and is completed without using the hands. The performer takes off from one leg, rotates forward, and lands on two feet.
Does a Webster use the hands?
No. The defining feature is a hands-free forward rotation, unlike a front handspring, which uses the hands during the skill.
Where is the Webster used?
The move appears in tricking, freerunning, parkour, and related acrobatic disciplines. It can be performed from a standing approach or as part of a longer movement combination.
How is a Webster different from a front flip?
Both rotate forward, but a Webster is specifically initiated from one foot and emphasizes a one-leg takeoff. A front flip can use a two-foot takeoff, so the entry mechanics are different.
