too stupid??

i'm new to tricking.. and i want to learn 540 or 360 kick. i'm watching and reading tutorials on this site. i just can't remember how to move when i watched or read - in which position or when to jump up, where to have the hands, which footside goes first etc. as soon as i want to try i forget something even when i'm watching it over and over again. it takes alot of time till i can try the whole kick

is it me or is it generally hard to remember moves for the first time?

i just can't remember how to move Are you sure you should be tricking then?

[Jon P]

Yes, but you will get used to it.
Its like that with anything.

For example skateboarding...when people first start, they generall first try to learn how to ollie. And end up doing some goofy stomp, kick thing while the board stays on the ground...it takes some time for your body to get used to moving in a certain way.

this is especially true with tricks. Just keep trying.

just want to try cause it looks like fun.. just thought that maybe i'm not the only one who couldn't remember at the beginning of tricking

[Jon P]

You arnt.
Everyone forgets certain points. In trick you have to get your body to do some many different things at one time...all in synch. Its hard at first.
You could try watching the move you want and writing down the key point on a piece of paper.
- Kick leg up
- Throw arms
- Look forward
- cross fingers

whatever it is you think you need to remember..that way when you go out to practice you will have a guide to fall back on.

Get some flexibility. Print the tutorials. Learn some kicks. Point your toes. Trick.

it also wouldnt hurt to have a background in ma's to teach u coordination and to help u with ur kicks.

[Snejk]

And get a digital video camera! Record everything!

[qiufung]

don't have background in ma... learning by tricking

i'll get a digicam when i can afford one

[evil_boy]
