Trickers?
« on: December 31, 2008, 09:14:58 AM »
So if you haven't heard of Tricking

Tricking is a young sport that mixes the precision and technique of martial arts with the showmanship and beauty of gymnastics.
If you're having a tough time visualizing that, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU9cqhY8QsM&feature=channel_page

I'm a beginner in this passion sport and was wondering if anyone else does it as well.

NOTE: Please. I know Pakour/free-running falls in the jurisdiction as tricking, but I am not looking for Pakourist/Free Runners so please spare me the
"I don't do this, but I do a little pakour." I've heard it way too many times.

It's interesting. I hadn't heard of it before. Do you do this at school, or at some kind of gym or something?

Wow.
Looks cool.

I might try it sometime.
When I'm not break dancing or trying to take down wrestlers.

Zephyr: Thats the beauty of it, it can be done literally anywhere. It really depends on the tricker and what they're comfortable doing where.
I myself do it at open gyms and grass areas.

Kero: My only suggestion is to start with the basics, don't go for the big stuff. I tried a corkscrew last year when I started......lets just say it end horribly.

Yeah, thats kind of the only way to do it unless you're lucky enough to live next to a more experience tricker.

Of course.
With every sport its usually a must to start with basics.
