I was surfing the main site and stumbled upon the 540 crescent it didn't look hard at all so i just tried it out in my basement and got it just like that. Im not gonna be a fague here and piss everyone off by saying i can do it as good as juji my first time. Believe me it was pretty horrible, like i mean my kicking leg got as high as my waist, but that can all be improved later on. The kick is incredibly simple like i mean other tricks ive been working on for months and still havn't landed them or got over the fear of doing them, this i got just like that, although i need lots of improving. Could the 540 crescent maybe be categorized with the likes of the au batido and masterswipe???:juji:

540 Cresent is one of those tricks that's easy to pull off, hard to pull off well.

Yes... and no. Yes the basic movement is that simple, however in my experience getting the kick out high and smooth is the hard part. But essentially you are correct, it just needs a little work.
I'm not sure it's quite au batido or masterswipe easy though.
EDIT: What workerz (concise bastard) said.

most moves are easily to pull off in the most god-aweful manner.
I can 540cresc on both sides, it's not an easy move.
a fully pumped well timed and kicked 540 is fucking hard, very fucking hard. But to pull a below-waist-height kick out without a pump is pretty easy, theres no denying that.
i can masterswipe on both sides aswell, theyre pretty straightforward.
Au batidos need more than jst technique though; to make them look pimping you need good flex, for a big split straight-leg tido you need to bring it all together.

As Andrew says: A well pumped 540 crescent with a nice clean kick is very hard, and in my opinion the toughest basic trick!

No, it depends on the person. Some moves just come naturally to people, while others take a lot of work. I wouldn't "categorize" a varied difficulty kind of move like this just based on your own experience.

I think it's hard, it took me a while to get it. But I agree with everyone else tho, it all depends on the person, how well you execute it, etc.

QFT, the 540 Cresent is a very bitchen trick, it depends on a really exact balance and if you screw up one part of it the whole thing goes to shit.

I suck at this trick, one of the few more 'basic' tricks I don't have down well.

Nothing else is needed.
