Front- I have better form and more power, especially on my front handsprings(compared to BHS) .

Back tumbling
Front tumbler,
For some reason I can't get myself to go backwards on floor. I can do it
on beam and bars though. I've been working on my back tuck on floor for so long but I can't seem to do it....Any advice?

Front, but I'm not very good at either, considering that the front tuck is still in the work room.

Back! I love backwards tumbling! It's way easier for me than front! Blind landings suck.. I feel safer and like i have more control when i do backwards tumbling!
eg. I just got my frontwalkover on the high beam and it has been so much scarier to learn then backwalkovers!

I'd say I'm slightly better at back, but for the most part I'm comfortable with both. I actually prefer blind landings -- for some reason I can stick a double front and an arabian double front much more consistently than I can stick a double back.

I'm much better at back tumbling. Both of them are exceptionally well, but i prefer back tumbling to front. It's easier for me.

I think front walkovers are way better than back! If you're flexible enough, they don't have to be a blind landing; you can see your foot coming towards the beam. I do frontwalkover-fronthandspring as my series.

and i can't seem to get any power going forwards.
