Don't backflip on wet grass.

[Matness]

Yeah, so today i did about 3 backflips, landed crouched.. So then i went for a serious attempt. And cuz it had been raining a few minutes beforehand, the grass was wet.. So then i backflipped, kinda landed just on my toes, and they slipped out from under me and i just face planted, blood coming out everywhere, thought i had broken my nose at first.. Though, the sympathy from my mum was fantastic "Dont break your nose, your still going to school".
It wasnt broken, but it sure hurt like hell, my face went pale and i felt sick.. Now my nose is so sensetive, i jogged for a bit and the impact of my feet hitting the ground was enough to make it hurt.. I have to be super careful when i scratch too..

Since this is a "tips for tricks" board.. Here's my tip.. NEVER EVER EVER EVER BACKFLIP ON WET GRASS! EVEN IF YOU HAVE LANDED A FEW BEFOREHAND. DONT!


Note: Footage coming soon.

EDIT: I just noticed i said "DONT EVER BACKFLIP ON WET GRASS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE LANDED A FEW BEFOREHAND"

...If you had landed a few beforehand, you wouldnt have listened to me to begin with :tongue:

I learnt that the day before yesterday when i did a ro btuck.

I landed the round off but when i went to jump for the back tuck i slipped and did a massive jump in the air on to my shoulder, didn't hurt though. Ruined my kung fu uniform lol!

I like doing moves in my wet grass. The way my grass grows, when it's wet it isn't slippery, just nice and squishy. Good for crashes and stuff.

[musasabi]

[TKD_Andy]

haha amen to the gainers.

also corks and front flips. When i get around to it ill post my front flip slippage on grass, its a great vid.

[Jolle]

oh yeah frontflips suck ass on wet grass...in general, blocking on wet grass sucks ass.^^

[Alexar]

Yeah haha... You'll usually end up sliding down to your butt or landing it on your face because you don't get the friction for your body to move up and you face plant it.

Hahaha... I hate doing stuff in wet grass because you get your clothes wet and they itch later on if you can't change, and you might end up getting a really nasty infected rash if you don't take care of it. Nyeh... But it doesn't always happen. Good thing is though, is that he grass and ground is moist, making it more forgiving when you mess up.

DAMN THE WET GRASS I SAY WE KILL IT ALL!

[TartanPajamas]

I learned to swingthru out of a btwist on damp grass, at late dusk...was that wrong?

[Shadow]

Well sorta its just that trickers trick in the day and go get laid at night. if u were tricking at dusk you destroyed the whole continuum.

[Dark Twista]

Ive had my share of dying on wet grass. Roundoff to face plant should pretty much explain it all.

[Sly]

[Dark Twista]

Thats so crazy that it just might... Im not one for shoes though... *looks at shoes*

[Sakanem]
