Hi, first post here. Anyway, How does having shoes on affect your tricking?
It makes everything in general harder to pull off for me. Anyone ever thought of training with shoes on? Just throwing things out there.

Yeah tricking with shoes for me is like Rock Lee with his weights on. I'm actually considering trying out putting some weights on my shoes and then tricking with it for a few weeks take it off and feel the insta powerup.

I allways trick with shoes except at the gym, it doesn't seem to make any difference for me what so ever.

when on grass, go barefoot.
during the winter i usually trick in a studio with hard wood floors, in which case shoes win.

It's winter where I am so I wear shoes when I go out to have a romp in the snow. Usually I just wear my old wrestling shoes

I dunno, how long it would take but I'm guessing you would feel a difference even after a month if you've been constantly walking around with weights on your legs 30 days, nevertheless tricking with them.

Throughout my first 5 years of tricking I would trick with shoes on about 70% of the time. I mainly did this for strategical purposes, so that I'd eventually be capable of tricking when I'm shit-tired. The differences between tricking with shoes on versus shoes off isn't that much...but over time it'll stack up on you.
The feeling of ricking with shoes on is very similar to tricking while you're physically exhausted.

Don't trick with weighted ankles to the people who were thinking of weighting their shoes.
