View Full Version : Kicking in pants
Wow this has taken me so damn long to fully realise and yes i admit im slow and flame all you must but holy shit kicks with short pants looks so dodgy compared to kicks with long pants. Even if you suck, your tricks still look awesome/better while wearing long pants
who agrees?

Unless you're Jujimufu, then you can do kicks wearing a thong, and still get away with it. Oh yeah, and look good at the same time.
doesnt really apply to ppl who know how to kick imo but yes to a certain degree ur definitely correct haha

Yeah long pants are cool combined with tricking.
Also, they have to have lots of straps and such on them.

i am wearing them in my avatar! but you cant see them that well
haha that pic was at ice skating, splits with massive hockey skates on FTW!

I prefer doing kicking tricks in long pants, for extra 'snap'. It just feels good when you kick your trousers really hard, it means you're doing it right. *SNAP*

And I like the sound the pants make, especially TKD-like pants. *whoosnap*

I prefer kicking in shorts, actually. Juji-like running shorts ftw.

I hate double legs in shorts as you can see the small gaps between legs grr.
And yeah like Dizzy said it doesn't really affect you all that much if your kicks are clean. Big bonus if they need work though.
Seems like kicking with pants on makes you keep your legs straight. That's why I wear 'em, if I don't i tend to bend my legs, which looks like crap.

I think you mean when you wear tousers you cant SEE them bent

Yes, but some make it okay looking (dleg with a gap in the legs)...like Juji.

juji's gigantic thighs close the gap more or less
But regardless of what pants you're wearing, good kicking is good kicking and bad kicking is just that

I find tricking in shorts really comfortable. I could live in board shorts.
But literally within the last couple weeks I've realised how nice tricks look with trousers.

Even Juji's extremely clean tricks, in my opinion, look the best when he has pants on. That's why "mablung" is my favorite of his samplers.
The cleaner you tricks though, the less wearing pants really helps how it looks, but I still prefer pants regardless

kicks with shorts = no win

I prefer shorts. Make your legs look longer on kicks.
It's a well known fact and has been but consider it motivation to improve your kicks if they look crappy with just shorts or less.

I like tricks in long shorts or baggy pants that don't go all the way down to my feet.
