Getting confused

[Rage]

Do you ever get confused or somehow messed up while doing some trick? I do get confused sometimes and last time i was doing backhandsprings when something distract me and I fell onto my neck:dead: Fortunately nothing happened and i laughed from relief and thought: "what the hell." Has anything like that ever happened to you?

[biyak]

i hate when that happene
and then its painfull!!
but funny after some time when the pain is gone ^^

yes, my motto in life is 'he who hesitates is screwed'. lose focus on the task at hand and you're bound to make a mistake.

[TKD_Andy]

is that taken from the more common phrase "he who hesitates is lost" ironskeleton?

i agree though, if you lose concentration, or dont concentrate enough you're bound to screw up.

Yep. Happens to me an awful lot.

Used to happen a lot with round-off backflips (like, a year or so ago), and happens from time to time with btwists and corks now.

You get pretty much rid of that after training the move(s) enough.

Do a btwist, hey was I trying a gainer? Might as well flip. Woah shit!

[musasabi]

yeah really... thats a pretty shitty experience, haha. :good: that it didnt hurt you though.

i crashed a roundoff flip from a really well-executed roundoff once... just fell straight back onto my back from about six feet up... haha. i couldnt stop coughing and laughing at the same time. :wink:

Some girls at my gymnastics class phyc themselves out all the time they will bail halfway through a round off. Hilarious results

anyway, it happens to me a lot with combo's. a while ago i messed up when i was doing a frontflip2backflip2frontflip on a trampoline, the result was that i landed with my back straight on the metal edge of the trampoline, pretty much like in that online game that has been posted here a couple of times
i messed up one day with gainers too, on a trampoline, landed on my head, didn't hurt so much but i was confused as hell

Even though trampoline is fun, i hate it for those bails what happens on there

when i land a b-twist, kick the moon or cork, i'm like ''whoah, where the fuck am i?''

[snugglefunked]

that happens to me all the time, when my body does something different from what i had planned in my head... for example, i'll be mid-combo, about to do a roundoff flash, but i end up doing a cartwheel front, just because my body says so... doesn't CONFUSE me per se, but it definitely throws me off for a second...
