when i do mine, i dont worry about the concept about bringing the chest to the knees, because i just bring them in. If i think of chest down to knees, then i tend to rotate downwards. Instead, i lead with my shoulders and tuck them upwards in the back kind of like a reversed back tuck. This causes me to set a little farther forward, but if you play with it a bit, then you can get really really high. I'm working on double fronts on the floor right now and this technique works just great for me. Its all about messing around with it and finding what works best.
*what i did when i first tried to find out how to tuck, I would reach all the way down to my ankles, not knees. This was on a tramp that i experimented with, and it had helped me so much with the concept of rotation speed changing. Don't over think the front flip. Just jump up, lead the tuck, remember to block, and make yourself small as you go around, and you have plenty of time for a stepout that way for a nice smooth impressive landing. They take some getting used to.
