I've been thinking about this for a long time...

[DarkR0se]

I finally started and I can't do anything. I try to do back flips, b-twists, and aerials. They always end up in failure. For some reason I'm really terrified of doing these tricks and going in the air. I want to get these tricks down so bad and I feel bad that I can't get them...

Help please TT_TT

[DarkR0se]

Hi im andy.

Hi ?

Hi im andy.

O RLY ?

O RLY ?

Thought you guys were supposed to be helping me. >.>

Hi, he's andy.

[anerky]

Mr. Rose, is that you in your avatar?

[frankinstine]

Hi. All you have to do is manipulate your center of gravity.

[Torre]

Just keep trying them and strech a lot if you aren't already. And get a spotter for the backtuck, helps a lot. Also film yourself to see what you are doing wrong.

[[RozoN]]

Dude, just hang in there and keep practicing...you won't land anything first try...Just keep drilling and drilling...once you get through that stage, it'll get easier/more fun...just keep drilling the basics and prerequisites...
it took me around three months before I even started landing anything proper...

Edit:What Torre said...

[anerky]

Work on kicks, they aren't so scary. You need to build up before trying something that you are afraid of. Working on other tricks will build up your confidence and coordination. When you finally get up the courage to try the tricks like backflip or aerial, you'll completely piss them out.

Option number two is just trying the moves. You will realize that they are "all bark and no bite." You will see how much stress the human body is able to withstand and will most likely be impressed.

[basics007]

1st start practicing all the super basics then moving on to the nextt level

like tornados
bkicks
cartwheels

itll get better :)

[Buku]

dude i feel the same way, i've been 'tricking' (if u could even call what i do that) for like a month and a half now and all i got is a bkick and a crashing b twist i cant even land a 540 for crying out loud
so yea im sticking to it and now at least i dont land on my face when i bust my ass trying for that b twist

[CotyTricker26]

Don't give up man, it took me 3 years to get my btwist ! Do it for the love of doing it ! That is all.... If you need any more help and support, amidst the spamming, there are a lot of trickers willing to help !

[DarkR0se]

Mr. Rose, is that you in your avatar?

Yeah thats me.

*edit*
I got a hair cut though (cut it myself).

I can sort of do 540's. They just aren't that high, but the kicks aren't the problem because I do lots of stuff with my feet. Its being in the air. I can see myself doing b-twists and back flips over and over but I bail before I even get to try the trick.

I can do all of those lol.
Something very weird though...I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE DOING MY B-TWISTS THE OTHER WAY THAN I USUALLY DO MY B-KICKS.

[Buku]

rose i felt the same way a couple days ago but when i feel like that i just watch vids of people tricking and it just pumps me up and i go get better, these last 4 days since i officially joined the forums i've shown some of the best improvement ever, i just almost landed a btwist like 10 min ago (on feet and hands) but once u get that passion u'll get better trust me

[Skippy]

Tricks are hard man. Get used to it. Noone learns a trillion moves in a month when they first start.

Watching videos motivates me a lot and I just got back from practicing. I just feel bad when I can't land anything and quit(for a couple hours or the day). I practice everyday might i add. Started seriously like a week or so ago. I think I'm cursed. -_-

[anerky]

What do you mean by doing stuff with your feet? Unless you are referring to basic martial arts kicks: round, hook, inside outside crescent, front snap...you probably aren't doing things with your feet that will help.

Learn a bkick, without it you will have trouble visualizing a btwist. Learn all the tricks that don't scare you. You could become a really great trickster without doing backflips. Practice other stuff until it is "good" and come back to the scary stuff later, it might not scare you anymore.

[DarkR0se]

I know, but not even one cool trick yet. =[

[Buku]

theres your problem! you CANNOT practice everyday i know it sounds lame but your body needs rest i kinda took a break from tricking for 2 weeks (i started mid february) and just started again 4 days ago. when u get rest ur body rewards with trick progress. and remember its hardwork nothing worth working for comes easy

lol then alternate me i'll just trick for like 3-4 days in a row then the other days work on strength training or track at school and brawl on the otheer days btw my fc is 3394-3258-3907

[ShuFFs]

don't get mad at yourself, just get out and trick. tricking is really hard... and that is why it's awesome. in time you'll break down the barriers... ^_^

[anerky]

Learn 360 crescent, a hella bkick, a nice 540 and awesome tornado kick (all in the same direction preferably). Work on learning scoots, sweeps and really basic martial arts kicks. That should be enough for a while. Just play about with all those and make up cool and creative combos (there are good combos that you could do with those).

Once you feel satisfied with 360, hyper it, make it a feilong. You probably will get restless with those moves anyway and start progressing them on your own. One day you will walk outside and say "dang, bkick is boring...I think I'll twist it," and you will.

My b-twist doesn't go the same way as my b-kick TT_TT
I know it sounds weird. My body is retarded or something. Is it possible to do b-twists the opposite way?

I also have like no idea 99% of the tricks you said.

[Buku]

barriers i think he means blocks in your progression or periods of no improvement

[DarkR0se]

Is this something I need to be concerned about?
Another trick?

Oh...ok
Thought it was like something I had to like break during a kick or something.

[DarkR0se]

i wish it was :agony:

What is it??

[anerky]

what direction do you go in most of your tricks, Rose?
..also, learn about tricks in general before deciding that you can't do any haha

[Buku]

Is this something I need to be concerned about?
Another trick?

nah i was just being stupid, but about those tricks he mentioned earlier 360 crescents and what not go on youtube and look through the main tutorials of this site juji rights really really really good tutorials

[DarkR0se]

Okay uhmm...my b-kicks: when I like jump? my right foot is in front and I dip going right? Sorry for the retarded explanation. I try to b-kick the other way with my other kicks and twists and whatever but its not as high or smooth.

Just the opposite for the b-twists and every other kick.

[DarkR0se]

nah i was just being stupid, but about those tricks he mentioned earlier 360 crescents and what not go on youtube and look through the main tutorials of this site juji rights really really really good tutorials

Okay.
I'll go look at them right now. Sorry if i reply late.

[anerky]

Definitely get bkick on your opposite side, it will help a lot in the future. Try your best to learn everything going the same direction, which seems to be left in your case.

[DarkR0se]

Yeah...left is like my direction. I guess it will just take time for that.

Ok...so it seems like hes kicking with is left foot -_-
My left leg is retarded. It wont kick...I'm scared that this move will be easier rotating clock-wise and kicking with my right leg.

[anerky]

Really try to do everything going the same direction. You can get into really annoying situations if you can only do 3/4 of your tricks to the left. Choose a side and really commit to it....it sure would suck to have a nice 900 and not be able to combo it simply because you didn't feel like learning it the same direction as everything else.

Okay =/
So left side it is.

You know?
When I jump up and spin as hard as I can, I spin faster and get more rotations when I spin clock-wise. When I try to go the other way, I get half the rotation, I lose balance in the air and then eat it.

Can I fix my problem with an easy solution?

[Tocano]

if you feel more comfortable spinning clockwise then thats what you should be doing.

[Buku]

then switch it around and do all kicks with your right leg going TO the left side of your body thats how i do it the other day i tried to raiz to the right and i almost broke my neck lol

Usually the problem in spinning is the take off, as skilzat taught me. If you end up "eating it" you are going off from vertical. You need to jump straight up, torso and everything going upwards. Just make sure that you go up all the way, extending yourself upwards without any lean. You are going to be going for a simple 180 at this point. Once you feel yourself actually off the ground, you begin the wrap and spin.
Just make sure that you aren't spinning as you leave the ground, wait until you are airborne. Trying to spin too early can make you push off the ground while leaning or something like that. Leave the ground fully, then wrap and spin.

There is no shortcut to learning on your opposite side, it will take lots of effort.
if you feel more comfortable spinning clockwise then thats what you should be doing.

I might disagree. If he is going to be spinning to the right, he should also be doing everything that direction. Just so long as he is doing everything the same way.

Since he seems to be better at going to the left in everything else, I think it would be easier to just learn to spin to the left than to transfer everything to the right.

[AsoBit]

DarkRose, if you want real help, I suggest you provide videos. Also, it never hurts to read the main website, and search the forums for similar topics, which there are MANY covering these "problems"

[DarkR0se]

But my 540's are like going counterclock-wise and I can't kick for beans with my left leg TT_TT

[DarkR0se]

then switch it around and do all kicks with your right leg going TO the left side of your body thats how i do it the other day i tried to raiz to the right and i almost broke my neck lol

O_O?

Now that i think about it...THAT WAS MY PROBLEM!!
I was spinning to early -_-
Thank you =D
I <3 you !!

just fuck about for a while and you'll get sorted eventually haha
don't worry too much about specifics really

I'm like shy...and I kind of don't feel like bailing on a video to show you guys TT_TT

[DarkR0se]

lol
I still can't believe that something so stupid was the problem...
thanks

[DarkR0se]

You guys are mean.
You distract me.
I'm going to go now and practice.
I'm going to keep on practicing until someone tells me to stop because I don't know when to take these "breaks".
So yea see you when I see you.

[JiayoJames]

lol just do it.

[Buku]

lol i would happily bail a hundred times if it would help me land the tricks i bailed on

[AsoBit]

...Provide videos??
I'm like shy...and I kind of don't feel like bailing on a video to show you guys TT_TT

wahh wahh

Then don't expect useful help/critique.

At the very least, video tape yourself so you can view it, and compare to the various other videos of people doing things properly.

[Buku]

i sincerely second the busy banana man

[Mr.Parafuso]

I agree with AsoBit..besides, everyone of us have bailed before and probably all the experienced trickers have provided vids of them bailing in order to imrpove...just go out and trick and don't be so emo

*edit*
sorry, that was a bit harsh..but just don't worry about it man!

[Scooba Dave]

trampoline it, haha, go to a gym or something.

[Flowers]

There is no wonder drug for tricking.

If there is, then it takes repeated doses about twice a week for the rest of your life until it breaks your body down.

[DarkR0se]

haha ok guys
i just came down stairs to refil my water bottle and check this. You guys are helping me lots.

Thanks for the encouragment
oh and I got my b-kicks in the other direction already xD
I didn't think it would be so quick but I got it.

Well back to work.
thanks again

--(@

[Mr.Parafuso]

Yayyyy! *claps of DarkR0se*

[DarkR0se]

Yayyyy! *claps of DarkR0se*

lol thanks
Well I think I was practicing for a good whole hour.
The most I've practiced ever. I think its because it was actually fun this time -_-

So far... my 540's stay unchanged & I just reversed my b-kick. Attempted an aerial(not so good).

*reminder*

Tomrrow I'm going to try and get totally horizontal with b-kick and kick higher with my 540's. Not eat it with my aerials.


Thanks again everyone,

No just give up. Tricking is not for you. You'll take forever to learn ANYTHING.

Me too!

I can still do it though right?

[Swartz]

No you'll land everything about one tenth of the time. You'll also get numerous injuries and spend more time recovering than tricking.

Thats a better percentage then when I was skating.

Darkrose it takes time to get the tricks dont give up, one day you'll land a trick and you'll be like ''wow, i fucking love tricking" and then you will see insane progress.

Swartz yes to all the above

[qwerty the asdf]

Its kind of hard to stay 100% focused and motivated on it when I have no one to practice with me.

I went 3 months of tricking completely alone.

I started from nothing. Trained everyday. Never gave up even after looking like a fool at the park crashing everything I tried.

Don't make bullshit excuses. If you have the heart to trick, you will do it. I've rose extremely fast for how long I've tricked and w/o any prior experience. And it all came from heart and dedication.

[frankinstine]

Darkrose, you shold come trick with us sometime. I have gym sessions every thur and fri nights. Plus, the mighty skilzat tricks with us.:smile:

[Tossman]

Ahhhh

Trust me, tricking is a lot more fun and productive when you do it with other people.

Also...if you really do get "nervous" around people in general, I think that's something you have to get over, not only for tricking, but for day to day life.

[Skilzat85X]

I live in the North-West part, I think.

Aside from attending gym sessions with us, I recommend to get lots of help and general ideas on Tricking and many basic tricks, you take a gander at the Gudies provided on my website: http://www.justtheskills.com

Having a website is awesome because instead of doing extra work you can just give people a simple link which says everything that you would say again anyways.

And give it time...tricking isn't something that most people pick up on incredibly fast.

i bow down to the mighty skilzat forever ur website is another god

That's understandable when you're doing it in front of random people who aren't even doing it themselves but around other tricksters? Don't be silly. Nobody thinks of less of you just because you're new to it.

Also, stop being such a goddamn emo. Your screename and avatar scream it.

Start being a MAN.

[DarkR0se]

is that a typo or did u say u trick in ur room????

O_O !!
Whats wrong with that?
I've been doing this for a while now. I learn my stuff in there. xD

[VerdinxJon]

Thought you guys were supposed to be helping me. >.>

You'll get 1 good answer out of 100 post be patient...

unfortunately this is not one of the good answers.

UP DA BUTT!!

[Skippy]

Darkr0se I'm reading through this thread now, I'm on page 5 and what the fuck! you're so fucking emo and negative. Quit being such a poncy bitch.

Go out, drill tornados to fuck. I learned how to 540 kick in 6 days to a pretty decent standard (3 tricking sessions), and although I can't really do any other 'cool' tricking moves, I know when I posted my video of it some of the members were a little shocked I learned it so quick. This is because every god damn day I'd do like 50 front kick raises on each leg, 20 outside crescents on each leg, 20 inside crescents, 20 hooks and 20 round kicks. I'd do like 20 Tornado kicks after this each time too, making sure I spotted my target and really snapped my leg into it.

I'd even do things like drilling my cheat set up and drilling how I'd enter it and throw my arms up.

I'm not talented in any way, in fact I find everything reallllllllllllly difficult to learn =\ hell even just simple stuff like pop 360s, I remember my first day I was trying them I would feel like I done everything right but I got no height and my kick was like knee height. Seriously man haha ask K-Slash I sent him my first attempts :tongue:

But because of the dedication and time I was willing to invest into getting my legs good at kicking, I learned how to 540 relatively faster than most do.

You only get out what you put into tricking, if you go around doing half assed attempts at everything and not taking the mother-fucking-advise-that-people-give-you then you will-not-learn-very-fast.

I've been tricking for about 11 days now, I'm almost nailing b twists, scoot to gainers and pop 720s. This is because at home I am working my ass off to get my body better faster! and when I go out I drill my basics to fuck.

There are people there willing to help you who live near you like skilzat and shit, you will progress veryyyyy-fast-if-you-take-up-this-help.

Bloody drill anyway! drill until you bleeeeeed!

I know this isn't much, but this is what I made in 7 days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkwAI7XhEwA

If you get your act together and dedicate some real time, you could easily do better than that over the next 7 days.

[Scooba Dave]

drilling, thats alll really

[koruja]

yeah, and be sure to accept skillzat's help. you are one of the lucky ones you leave in a town that is full of people who trick and are wealing to help. i live in oporto in portugal and so far i havent meet anyone who tricks in my town. believe it dude i would kill to have your luck.

[milan]

You have to realize that the fear is what will eventualy break your neck! After you fall on your neck a couple of time like i did, you will realize that nothing serious can happen to you. Just keep on trying.

[Swartz]

Hey, I'm not that emo. I only cut myself like once and my picture isn't emo either.
I'm also a man because I have a penis. >.>
How predictable. You cut yourself you shit.

Penis doesn't make a man. There are transvestites afterall.

O_O !!

Well golly I hope it's an incredibly big room for your sake otherwise you'll find yourself limited very quick.

[saunders]

DarkR0se sorry to sound so harsh but you should man the fuck up, stop drawing stupid little faces (TT_TT, 0_0, xD, >.>), meet up with Frankenstine and Skilz and actually trick instead of whining on the internet.

[Swartz]

If I was frakinstine or Skilz I wouldn't even want to.

[koruja]

hey come on swartz dont be too harsh on the guy. there are all kinds of people, he just lacks a bit of confidence thats all, im sure we'll get there someday

[Swartz]

Gosh darn it you're so genuinely nice and humble. Perhaps I ridiculed him a little too much. I'd probably be BEST friends with this guy in real life.

Only 11 days and you can do that already? O_o
I'm really jealous. I need to put more time in it then a couple of hours a day huh.

Thanks for the vid too. It helps =]

The only time I actually trick outside of my room is SOMETIMES at school during PE. I do it with like 2 or 3 of my buddies. They aren't that good but neither am I.

[Swartz]

I need to put more time in it then a couple of hours a day huh.What a crock of shit. Most people trick for maybe an hour every couple days or so. Some do it everday, some once a week. All make progress. There's no magic formula. It's more about how well you train, not sheer amount.

[DarkR0se]

Actually it was like only once and my room is like 11' by 6'(including the bed, lamps, chairs,etc.)

Theres a way to train?
Am I drilling wrong?

[DarkR0se]

I'm not on here much...

[Swartz]

Jesus Christ.

That's a dinky room. Sounds like enough room for a kip up and that's about it. Tricking takes up space and if you plan on trying anything find some more room. Otherwise you'll just hurt yourself or damage shit. Well no, go ahead and do that.

Theres a way to train?

Gee I don't know. It's kind of hard to tell when I'm not there watching you in person.

Fuck me. Just practice. Listen to your body, be overall consistent and fuck around with it. Don't take tricking too seriously or you'll just end up being more emo than you already are.

[Siphin]

buy a video camera so we can help..

I didn't really break anything in my room yet. Almost did in the living room though. It's slightly bigger by like 2 or 3 feet. I practice more room taking tricks in there.

How would I become more emo if I took it too seriously?

[Swartz]

Oh fuck it DarkShit. I'm giving up on you.

[DarkR0se]

buy a video camera so we can help..

With what money...

[Skippy]

It's not the hours you put in. It's what you do with those hours =\

I'm waiting at the moment until my hamstring is fully healed before I keep doing stretchs and what not because it's just not healing and I don't want to permanently fuck it.

But alls I done in most of my hours was drill basic kicks, round house kicks, crescents, hooks etc. My 'tricking' sessions never usually lasted up to an hour. I usually trick for like an hour and then do some more parkour, I really enjoy parkour and once I've done what I needed to do in the tricking session I don't really see a point in doing it tired and drilling in bad technique, and parkour is something I can do decently well in even if I'm pretty tired.

Then I go home and lift usually lol =\

So yeah, spend your time doing better things like drilling set ups and basic kicks, rather than spending hours doing b kick attempts with bad technique throughout hoping they'll get better or doing 540s with super bent legs all the way through and hoping they'll get better.

Things only improve if you work better technique on them, and if you haven't got the first bits of the technique good, you won't be able to improve the moves on a whole.

Swartz means if you take tricking as seriously as lets say life is, and you keep not improving, you'll always get sad and depressed about it.

And you don't break anything in your room yeah, but you're not really doing much in it. So go to grass, preferably your back garden. Even if its concrete, it's quiet.

[Siphin]

trick outside

end of story..

if your a vampire find a gym

[koruja]

sorry man, they all have a point there, specially skippy. find some place with more space for you to trick and dont give me any shit like "i cant find any other place" or the likes of it because i dont believe that. srry if we are being to harsh but we 're just trying to help you out.

[Buku]

alright i've read enough and honestly when are you gonna figure this shit out,1. stop complaining about u cant do this or that and u dont have this or that; 2. go outside to friggin trick its free; 3. train to your own body, you can tell when youre too tired to do something; 4. ACCEPT THE FRIGGIN ADVICE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GIVING YOU. almost all these people have been tricking for at least 1 year im pretty sure they know what the hell they're talking about just listen. beyond this theres nothing else i can tell you...

[mm tacos rock]

That's the sucky thing about tricking. It takes a long time to get the basics down, because all of them are hard, like even harder than Bill Clinton when he sees a fat woman.

I believe in you, though. Just work hard and never quit, and you'll get some tricks. =]

[Kirkor]

Come trick with some of us this Saturday here
http://www.goforitusa.com/
1-2:30pm

I'll help, but stop being so emo and whiney :good::tongue:

[saunders]

I'm not on here much...

apparently you are, seeing as you make at least 12 posts a day...

i don't see why you keep making excuses for every advice given. i mean the people here are trying to help you, and all you do is make lame excuses. i thought you made this thread because you want to get good at tricking. either listen to the advice given or stop tricking. if you don't have the motivation then tricking is not for you.

[Persona]

I remember when this was me >.>

[Persona]

What a loser I was.

[Victor L]

ahahah just been reading this whole longass thread of 15 page goodness and yeah, your admitting it lol. Im still fretting over not being able to 540 kick.
