Your first trick ever done?

[MoogleDoll121]

Anyone remember their first trick ever done? If you do please post what trick it was and how many tries it took you to do it :smile:

Also, what first trick do you guys think is best to start out with for a first time tricker?

[BoredArnold]

probably a 540 kick.

[Less than Dan]

Well, I learned tornado kicks while I was in shotokan, back when I was 12, haha.

But, offically, a few years back, my dear friend Kevin and I dragged out a mat on a insanely chilly december day and said "Let's do front flips!". That was my first session ever, haha.

We were landing a few at the end of the day, and boy were they shite.

[maxx]

au batido...back in 2002/03

[flyboy]

Hmm... first trick I ever landed was a kip up. I spent about a total of two hours landing on my ass or doing it badly before I counted myself as able to do one.

[glide2]

webster, back in 2002

[maxx]

webster, back in 2002

really? i dont remember alot of websters being done back then.

[a_Trick]

hmm...front tucks around 1999-2000 (was about 12 or 13 hehe). Did kip ups around the same time, could do 'em straight away

[*L-V*]

A aerial, it was 2-3 monthe ago... it took me 50 f*cking days to be able to land it, so much fun :punched:

[ngswipe]

540, i didnt no wat tricking was back then. It was part of my kungfu line drills

[qwerty the asdf]

Ummm, technically I guess kip-up.

I've been able to kip-up since I was in Kindergarten (and never had to learn it either, I was always just able to do them).

But my first REAL trick I did was a backflip. Once I learned backflip I got into tricking... I learned backflip just because I always thought it looked cool, never really knew about tricking until after.

[Comatose]

Backflip, that was when I abandoned PK and focused on tricking.

[Shaolin.dk]

aerial

[carney]

B-twist

[stiltzkiin]

wallflip

[fung lee]

Kip-up, back in 2003. It took 4-5 days of practice at home.

[cepopeye]

540, i didnt no wat tricking was back then. It was part of my kungfu line drills

oh shit, lines of kung fu experts doing 540s *cream*

[Kaos]

Back hand spring lol XD

[A_Wilhelm]

Backflip, I landed it on 3rd try.

[Sakanem]

540, I spent ages making the same mistakes all the time until I thought about what might actually be the reason for not landing it... I got it in about an hour after having used my brain :pineapple:

[[RozoN]]

540 spent a month or something :-/...I remember that it was totally alien for me...I spend ages just throwing by body mindlessly in the air hoping to land on my right leg haha...good times :P

[Ville]

Before I even started tricking,I was able to do Kip-Up.When I started tricking,my first trick was Front Flip.

[pete_man_man]

before i new what tricking was i was doing tornado kicks for some reason..... I was quite proud of them as well... *sobs*

[lynall]

wallflip for me :)

[nin.ja]

kip up.... or tornado kick... not sure

[Sakanem]

well... if you count tornados and 360s, it was probably one of them

[Dragonic MiKe]

Aerial.

It took me bloody ages too. I bailed on my knee so many times. :sad:

[Masterj123456789]

aerial

[Skippy]

Standing front flip, my take off back then was super shit for normal front flips so I always landed on my ass, but I've always been good at making rotation, so I tried one outside an old folks home on lovely soft grass one day with a few buddies and was drastically surprised I landed it. That was the only one I landed for like a year.

[saulus]

1.btwist 2.frontflip 3.backflip...i dont count kip ups as tricks i did them since "grundschule" dont know what that is in english....also 360 and tornados since i was small because my brother did that kind of stuff all the time

[flamingpope]

360 roundhouse and wall flip

[Sakanem]

"grundschule" dont know what that is in english....

primary school :wink:

[nightak]

frontflip @ school when i was 10 or 11. We had to do gymnastic in the Sports (PE) lesson. :tongue:

my teacher was like:amazed:

[Artis]

Umm .. ass frontflip.... after a few days i landed them correctly :smile:

[Surge]

Either a front flip or a backflip, damn they're so easy.

[abdominable]

1 step wall flip in... 03-04

Sadly, all I've learned since then is back tuck, back handspring, and 2 steps.

I tend to do only backwards oriented tricks. Tis a shame. Goal for this year is to nail some kicks, aerials, front flips, and gainer/j-gainers.

[Torre]

540. Prolly 3 months ago, though I'm only getting them consistently recently.

[AndyD11]

haha erm well when i first started it was in a sports hall with a spring board and mats.
i dunno which came first because i just copied what ever vince did because i had no idea but the tricks i tried and landed in my first day were:

front 180
double leg
double leg twist

[Anima]

Disregarding all tricks that arnt actualy tricks such as b-kicks ect.

Butterfly Twist.

[Anima]

You landed a double leg twist on you're first day of tricking ? :O

[AndyD11]

You landed a double leg twist on you're first day of tricking ? :O

haha yea. its weird how when you don't know what you're doing (and don't know the difficulty levels) and just copying someone else how much easier things are lol.

but as i say it was off a spring board onto mats Them hard ones you get on leisure centre floors

[Andy Longcat]

aeiral.

I got it after like a month :good:

edit: counting the first two weeks which I only did bkicks, then 2 weeks later I got aerial :O

[Ben]

No way, it must of been a cork.

Same boat as Qwerty. I've been able to kip up for at least 14 of my 21 years on this planet. Use to do TKD when I was very little till about 13. Flash forward to highschool around 2002 kid named Julian Putek was a year older than me and a decent friend of mine since we were on the same soccer team and worked at the same place. Anyways We were out on the field first day with the coach and he was like tell me your name and something about you so he was like, "Julian Putek" *does a back tuck* and says, "I'm a badass!" So at the time I didn't know anything about tricking and but had a trampoline for couple years by then. Could do double backs and double fulls, but had never thought about doing any of that kind of stuff on the ground. Coach got to me and I just decided to do the same thing. I had decent technique and what not but he defiantly got more height than I did. Still made me the second most badass person on the team, not counting Jason Soubiler who got all the bitches but didn't play his senior year making him a cunt for switching over to football because he could finally make the team.

[Ben]

No way, it must of been a cork.

haha, ive learnt some other tricks apart from corks now :o

[Bertie]

my first ever tricks was a step over 360-crescent

[saunders]

kip-poop

first basic was aerial

not counting cartwheels and such

[JKT]

kip-up
tooook me ages to get
then front handspring

[Surge]

haha, ive learnt some other tricks apart from corks now :o
OTHER TRICKS!?!?
I've heard you've been kicking like a bitch recently haha

[TFL]

my first trick was front-handspring... after 5mins i got it... then a month later i landed *shitty* fronflip in first try:punched:

[Scooba Dave]

front tuck

[Jon P]

Seeing as I don't consider things like front tucks, pop 360s, tornado kicks, bhs...to be anymore of a trick than a hook kick is--I guess my first trick would have to be bkick and doubleleg.

[Scooba Dave]

after reading jon p's post, i guess btwist was my first landed.

[JKT]

Front tuck is ALOT more than a hook kick! or a bkick! in my opinion

[Surge]

Mine must of been a moon kick then haha.

[jiayo-chris]

A front tuck has nothing to do with tricking...

Mine was an aerial i guess.

[Jon P]

haha a front tuck is a plain ol gymnastics maneuver...just as a pop 360 is a technique found in a lot of traditional martial arts.
To me things like front tuck, pop 360, cartwheels, tornado kicks, back handsprings, hook kicks, autobahns and so on, are all pre-basics or core skills.
Not quite tricks yet.

EDIT: The more I think of it...a bkick might not even be a "trick" either.
To me the five basic are...
-btwist
-540
-btuck
-aerial
-doubleleg

any prerequisites for any of those would be core skills.
although I don't really like the idea of a btuck being a trick, it is just widely accepted as one the the five essential basics in tricks.

[Ryu Sujin]

540 :juji:

[TKD_Andy]

540 aswell.

Took me forever haha.

then probably 720s, i learned them on both sides then picked the side that felt easiest.

[Jon P]

540 :juji:

I just watched some of your old clips I found of 540s and what not haha
I remember an old thread where you posted your 540 and Juji said its nice to see someone doing a clean 540 and landing standing...
its funny how that statement could still be applied to the community...well maybe not so funny hahah.

[TKD_Andy]

shame the order of things today goes:

1) cork
2) btwist
3) anything badly s/t
4) double twists
5) maybe a crap tornado.
6) thinking about a 540.
7) cork-cork-cork-cork-cork-cork.

[rwm]

I taught myself tornado kicks and frontflips before i knew what tricking was.

[Less than Dan]

Oh, then if we're going with front tucks not being a trick (and I have no idea why not), then my first was the backtuck, then the wallflip, then the 540 shortly thereafter.

I remember hating the 540 back then, haha. I only practiced it because I felt obligated to. Now, the 540 is the best trick in this entire game.

[stefanuz]

hmm, i think hypertwist was my first trick, then btwist a month later :tongue: then dleg ;)

[Tamonten]

I've been doing kip ups and tornado kicks since I was about 8.


Shoddy aerial was the first trick I landed after finding out about it.

KARL!
I've recently gotten aerials I'm pleased with haha.

[Kofski]

mmm.... I have alwase know cartwheel so my first trick was one hand cartwheel after that a kip up, the best trick to start in my opinion is the kip up, it's cool and it's simple.

[Ryoda]

I found it kinda hard to kip up D: First I got was a crappy sideways aerial. I got it pretty high at the time, but I can't do that well at all these days >__>

[mm tacos rock]

aerial
Ditto.

[thereid]

A front tuck has nothing to do with tricking...


If you are talking about strictly Martial arts tricking(with no tumbling) then I guess you're partially right but I see the front tuck to be just as important as a foundational move as a backtuck or any other of the basics in what most us consider to be tricking. Also I found the front tuck to be quite difficult to get it decent-looking, so it can't be compared with a hook, kip up, or b kick.

[J-Slide]

mine was a backtuck

[JCslug]

the first day, i tried doublelegs for like so long and it felt so weird. it was really just a slightly leaned back tornado kick.

[Tamonten]
