sessh, you're back! :smile: have a burger :burger:

edit:
damn, excellent tutorial!! this made me think more about how to link moves, thanks man!

question tho: what are step-downs, step-overs and slide-ins?

[sesshoumaru]

StepDown

The term "stepdown" isn't really a necessary term, and is used only if the combo is super-specific. A "stepdown" occurs anytime you link a trick that lands on one foot with another trick that begins by jumping off of two feet. Along with this sequence comes a little "punch" off of the floor, to help conserve the flow of energy.

Combos with a stepdown...

Pop Hyper 360 - Doubleleg - Flash -_- Pop Hyper 360 - std Doubleleg - Flash
Btwist - hook - 540 - Pop 1080 --_-- Btwist - hook - 540 - std Pop 1080
Corkswipe - Doubleleg Twist -------_ Corkswipe - std Doubleleg Twist


Slide-In

Slide-In is when you transfer from one part of the floor to another by sliding along the ground. This can happen in a variety of ways, and has several applications; however, it is primarily used to transition into another trick.


StepOver

I talk about this here... (http://www.trickstutorials.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18326)
