I woke up this morning and for the first time in quite a while i woke up to clear skies and sunshine. I tried to make the most of it and iv made my second sampler.

Tips on any of my tricks would be appreciated:smile: especially on my 540, iv changed the set up a bit to try and make it a bit better, it seems to have worked.

Iv been tricking about 6/7 months

Pretty nice stuff :good:

Your getting alot better =]]

Glad to see your experimenting with kicks, trying kicking higher and faster in c720 other than that they are cool.

Loved the combos, coool music, cool samp :good: :tongue:

Yea, pretty nice. Your 540 needs much work before you attempt jacknife again haha, but your gainers are pretty solid

Thanks mate! yeh my kicks were getting left behind a bit so iv been practising them a bit more recently. Im still really just starting to do combos, so iv been experimenting a bit seeing which moves go together nicely

Haha yeh although iv tried to improve my 540 lately, it still has a long way to come. Its getting there though the kick actually comes out infront of me rather than to the side (like in my avatar) i changed the set up a bit an it seems to be working a bit better. As fot the jacknife it wasnt as serious attempt just seeing what would happen really i dont plan on training it untill my 540 is down solid.

Where in Wales do you live?

Ah right, I'm near Monmouth/Abergavenny, but I too am off to university, Edinburgh probably.

Not bad video :smile: your kicks need work, but I like your standing flashes, and your gainers seem to be improving during the course of the vid. That cork wasn't too bad, but like you say, a little sketchy.

Not bad for 6/7 months :good:

in gainer flash don't be afraid to put your head back and spot the ground, it would make it even easier than it already looks for you and look a lot nicer.

its weird how i can get a better gainer flash from standing than i can from a j-step

do gainers the way you're comfortable and you feeel you do the best.
tricking isn't about going by "the book".

i learnt straight gainers first, i still think straight gainer flashes look the nicest

yay matt ^_^

as for gainers... just do whatever. Eventually I found the j-step to be the "natural" setup for me. Do whatever works best.
