Simple steps; what's next?

[TheButterfly]

Howdy guys. I'm new to tricking; just started a few weeks ago after having a friend send me the video "Act III". All pleasantries aside, I was wondering what I should do next. I've gotten very good at the butterfly kick. I mean, pretty darn good. I can do it over my 10 year old brother (it was a harrowing experience for his head and my groin, to be sure). I'm also proficient at a 360. The rest of the beginner tricks are still out of my grasp; but I'm practicing hard. I'm also halfway complete on the "Lazy Boy" trick, which is really extremely fun.

I have exactly 3 questions.

I'm debating which to work on next; a btwist, or an illusion twist. What are your recommendations? I've read it's better to do one or the other.

Are there any other moves that stem from the butterfly kick? I like that move; it's fun and safe.

I've searched roughly all day for a tutorial (or even a video) of a shuriken thing. I read about it in the tricking bible, but am having a hard time finding it anywhere. Anybody have an idea where I might find a tutorial or something about the shuriken?

Anyway, I love tricking. I might buy a video camera soon to show off my infinite sexiness.

Btwist.

Also, i'd wait for a while till you start doing Bkick variations, because the step up in difficulty between doing a Bkick and it's advanced forms is pretty darn big

I hope your 10 year old brother is not like my 10 year old brother (5'2") or else you're definitely far better than I. xD

But seriously, you gotta catch that on video! And just do a btwist, once you have that kind of height it should be so easy. simply pull your arms to your chest and your legs together, and you WILL spin.

5'2!? Jesus, are you feeding him Growth Hormone for breakfast?! No, he's not nearly that tall.

I just have a rough time with the btwist for some reason. I just land halfway between on my back and on my side. Can't figure out if I'm spinning too early or too late. Not to mention it's been raining, so I've had to trick on towels placed on concrete. My hip has been turned into dust. The timing of the twist still eludes me...

No vids of the shuriken twist?

Post a video of your btwist

You should initiate the twist as late as possible. :wink:

Edit: Yeah don't think about shuriken twist yet. It will all become clear eventually.

Why are you up Mike, and more so why aren't you on MSN? :sad:

[Dragonic MiKe]

Oh, well I've mostly been playing Pokémon Emerald and watching porn. Hahaha.

I only go on MSN very rarely these days.

I should really go to bed. I was planning on tricking tomorrow. :eh:

1. Complete the game
2. Get a girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever you kids have nowadays
3. Go on msn/to bed

Is that a to-do list or options?

[Mitkon]

Clearly a to-do! ;)
