With the high ass frontflip? Damn i bet hes great now. And that WholeFNShow guy too. I remember being hypnotized by his gainer avatar when i first started tricking("WOW thats so cool!"). I think his name was joe too? Oh well.

Holy shit, WholeFNShow! (Yes Neil, it was Joe) I remember him! He was my closest tricking buddy (and rival, although he didn't know it) back when I first started! He was a great guy, a great friend, and someone who could always get you to feel your best before a session.
He made immense progress over short periods of time. I do miss him...word on the street is that he quit tricking in order to persue other feilds of interest.

Well, he and I started around the same time about...give or take 2 and a half years ago? By the time I could b-twist well, he was throwing corks. By the time I was doing roundoff backs, he was doing roundoff fulls. By the time I could yper my 360, he was either gyroing it or developing his second kick for the double.
He learned so much more quickly than I did, and it made me jealous. While I spent so much time refining and fine-tuning my moreso basic moves, in order for them to be perfect, he was reaching deep and forcing himself to try, and eventually land, harder and more complicated things. He liked to spend little time on a move while learning; as soon as he learned a move, he would go the next step higher. Although I was proud of my quality, his large tricking menu made me so jealous.
Eventually, last video I saw of him, he was very close to double-fulls on grass (roundoff, of course). Since then, I've greatly matured as a trickster, and he kinda taught me that, you know, play the game your way, instead of worrying about how much faster others are going. (which is exactly why Sessh's "The Future" philosophy, is, in my opinion, ridiculous, and is discouraging many of our members, because it implies tricking as some sort of competition)
We became good friends, even. I promised him I would go see him in New York. Hopefully, it's not too late to fufill my promise. He's always someone I've wanted to trick alongside, really.

Oh my God. I remember this guy from a little bit before the forum went down. I was actually thinking about his avatar a few days ago and wondering what had happened to him.

Thank you, for the compliments :) And Neil, this summer, I WILL be tricking with you. Kapeeish?
And Benji, that would be him. His gainer avatar looks so wonderful because of how the camera zooms out and accents the height as the move is being preformed. I miss that guy a lot.
