Does your parents know that you are tricking?

[AjStyles]

I wonder,
I never let my parents know that i am tricking.
They will worry about my safety and ban me from tricking for sure.

[AndyD11]

hahahaha ban you from tricking hahahahaha

[cepopeye]

that happened to me a few times in the beginning

"We're going out of the house... No Backflipping Jon!!! Andy, make sure your older brother doesn't backflip"

[cepopeye]

This baby is fucking adorable

[Cathrine]

I wonder,
I never let my parents know that i am tricking.
They will worry about my safety and ban me from tricking for sure.

haha, I feel sorry for you

[JiayoJames]

lol pwnd

[Electro]

haha ownage

[eddy wang]

my father said once: YOU WILL BREAK YOUR NECK.

[*L-V*]

I wonder,
I never let my parents know that i am tricking.
They will worry about my safety and ban me from tricking for sure.

Lol, I have the same problem. My parents don't know.

Only once, my fathre saw me doing an aerial in the sand. He was like, Oh my god you can hurt you or break you something, be careful when you do this thing.

I think I should not show him my first backflip attempt. He would fucking kill me.

:punched:

However, I think I would have to show the mone day...

[JiayoJames]

lol that's so funny... my parents think it's kind of cool.

[BGI]

same here
i show my dad somtimes, he dont know anything about that but he gave me some good tips :)

[n3m3s1s]

My parents just say I have to be careful. They usually say that when I come home and can hardly walk after I've been tricking =D

[Alexx]

my parents know i trick, they don't know about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxdAQrZFJn0) though...

[stefano]

Both parents know i trick my dad doesnt care and my mom says becareful u can break something... doesnt matter they know i crash all the time :P

[gabrielb]

my mom has been fully supportive of my tricking since i was 16/17..im 23 now.

[Artis]

Often when i am watching myself doing backflips or backhandsprings and other shit on pc my mom see's it and she think it's very cool and that it's good that i am in some kind of sporting activity. She doesn't worry much cause i can count on my fingers how many times i have crashed a backflip and she have never seen me crashing.

[Anima]

Both my parents know that I trick and they think it's great !

They obs tell me to be careful ect.

[Mr.Parafuso]

my parents know...When I'm home tricking, my dad is usually the first person I show my newly learnt trick to..but I usually get nervous and usually screw up.
usually, usually, usually, usually.

[k-slash]

My mum beats me for having talent.

[Neil]

My parents worry about me some times well my mum does my dad doesn't give a shit if i injure my self.
My dad is all for me doing it he is trying to find a gymnasium near where i live. but my mum doesn't give a shit, i think every one in my family knows about tricking, they all think it's stupid, i showed them Jryst and sessh's unleashed and they thought it was some fool jumping around.

[dpitlock]

My parents know everything about tricking from the flips and the gatherings to the people and goatse.

[jiayo-chris]

My parents think its cool, my dad watches samplers with me sometimes.

[Neil]

One thing my mum doesn't like about tricking is me going on this website, she thinks it's some kind of suicide website and she hates me talking to people online, she gets scared because she thinks that you will all kill me.

[Yuri]

I usually try to not tell my parents what i do. They knew about be tricking but i would rather they not. Then they found out about my youtube account and saw my sampler and showed it to everyone they know and I had to deal with lots of comments of danger and worry from my grandparents.

Now my father keeps asking me when I am going to make another sampler, but It kind of makes me want to create a new youtube account.

[Tocano]

my parents know i trick, they don't know about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxdAQrZFJn0) though...

remember: look both ways before you cork!

[WushuTricks]

My parents know I do flips and shit but they have no idea about the term tricking. And the only problem they have is me ruining our nice grass haha.

[V-flip]

My parents know I do flips and shit but they have no idea about the term tricking. And the only problem they have is me ruining our nice grass haha.

haha
Same here, there is nothing left from grass.. :tongue:

[mm tacos rock]

My parents don't have a clue.

[stefano]

my parents know i trick, they don't know about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxdAQrZFJn0) though...

holy shit that was crazy you almost got hit by the car lol

[dpitlock]

my dad wanted to come watch pln, but i told him he isnt ready yet.

[JiayoJames]

One thing my mum doesn't like about tricking is me going on this website, she thinks it's some kind of suicide website and she hates me talking to people online, she gets scared because she thinks that you will all kill me.

NEIL I AM GOING TO KILL YOU THEN COMMIT SUICIDE!

[Buku]

my mom and dad try to spy on me while i train in the backyard. they peek thru the curtain and then when i walk back to the door they run upstairs or into the kitchen and ask me what was i doing. its hilarious cause they really think i don't notice

[Neil]

NEIL I AM GOING TO KILL YOU THEN COMMIT SUICIDE!

Awww that means so much to me <3
I might just tell my mum that you said that :smile:

[tuareg]

"We're going out of the house... No Backflipping Jon!!! Andy, make sure your older brother doesn't backflip"
Hahaha sounds excellent.

My parents? Well they do know that i'm doing something, but they have no clue to what it is. And i mean they're not even close haha.

[Iikkap]

Aye. Mom tells me not to hurt myself, but both my parents have been fully suporting this, and they think it's awesome. And mom's always like "remember to show me your new videos if you make one!"

[A1eXXX]

In childhood i was engaged in gymnastics, where learned bhs, frontflip, frontflip180, backflip, back360... So now i don't have any problems with parents+)))

[Kalvin]

My parents didn't really care until i tore my ACL haha, now there like If you re hurt your knee your not getting surgery lol so im pretty much just tricking till i kill my knee which hopefully wont be for years.

[Ryu Sujin]

Ban you from tricking? You're fucking 18 years old man. If they're really that anal about it or you don't have the balls to just laugh at them if they "ban" you from it, then just don't say anything. That simple.

[Mr.Parafuso]

My parents didn't really care until i tore my ACL haha, now there like If you re hurt your knee your not getting surgery lol so im pretty much just tricking till i kill my knee which hopefully wont be for years.

Man, that sucks! My parents have closets full of fetuses so they can harvest stem cells so I can heal uber fast..we also have fetus fights from time to time.

[koruja]

lol my mom found out recently she is all stressed saying that im going to kill myself and stuff. my dad doesnt have a clue but i will tell him, im sure he will sopourt me(that old man is crazy xD)

[Neil]

lol my mom found out recently she is all stressed saying that im going to kill myself and stuff. my dad doesnt have a clue but i will tell him, im sure he will sopourt me(that old man is crazy xD)

HAHA this sounded like you were telling your parents that you are gay.
It's good to finally come out of the closet.

[Reim]

My parents kinda know.. I guess

[Buku]

lol, admitting you trick to your parents is like coming out of the closet

[ShinobiNaruto]

my parents know and they like it. they support me alot.. in 2006 my dad drove 14 hours to pick me up from loopkicks camp 06 and bring me home.
my dad always tells me not do to any twists hahaha he says its dangerous "do flips, it looks more impressing"

[Swartz]

My family members know I do acrobatics involving kicks twists flips etc and that there's a community for it but that's it. It's been known from the start, I didn't exactly go around doing it in secret or whatever like some of you apparently do. They never gave me shit about hurting myself either or whatever.

[flyboy]

Yes and they fear for my life.

[VietMan04]

My mum beats me for having talent.
omg ur dam avatar cathes me by surprise everytime

[Nick Fail]

my mom tricks and does judo, its like a mortal kombat air fighting move. up, up, A+B, down+Y and BAM! nick gets thrown over the couch

[Patrickster]

My mother is the same way.She thinks I will get hurt.Haha.

[Leonardo]

Man, that sucks! My parents have closets full of fetuses so they can harvest stem cells so I can heal uber fast..we also have fetus fights from time to time.

DÔH... I wish I had fetus fights

[AndyD11]

my parents know....it would be sort of hard for them not to kno seeing as i trick in the garden a lot, go to 2 gym sessions a week and am going and have gone to tricking gatherings

[Bonita]

My dad doesn't care. My mom knows, but has never seen me trick. She's seen DT trick and laughs and shakes her head at him when he's in pain. But she is just glad I'm doing something lol

[Hapkidoka]

My parents are dead and I often trick on their graves.

[Neil]

My parents are dead and I often trick on their
graves.


So you and your parents didn't get a long very well?

[Hapkidoka]

So you and your parents didn't get a long very well?

Sure we did... that is, until they banned me from tricking and I was forced to kill them.

Now, I trick at the cemetery for two reasons, as a recurring "fuck you, I do what I want" and because they have really nice grass.

[Victor_S]

My parents know, but they think that is just a waste of time

[Chance]

My parents know and don't care to much. When I show them some video of me trying to trick there like, "Oh, that's cool hun."

Although when my dad sees me practicing basic kicks and stuff he always gets disappointed in me because I quit karate. He asks why I don't just go back to karate, haha. You guys prolly think it's stupid that I quit to though.

[Spyder_V]

Although when my dad sees me practicing basic kicks and stuff he always gets disappointed in me because I quit karate. He asks why I don't just go back to karate, haha. You guys prolly think it's stupid that I quit to though.

My parents are the same way. Except I didn't quit karate because I wanted to, my parents couldn't afford my brown belt test and they just took me out. THEN, 2 years later they wanted me to go back and try again. I said, "No."

My parents know and I show them my vids all the time. My mom worries about it a lot, but she's grown used to the fact that I do stuff and don't really get injured doing it. She knows I get injured doing other stupid shit, like running on grass during a storm. My dad is pretty supportive, but he's always reminding me not to get hurt. He does like it when I improve stuff though.

[Tactic]

haha, my parents know but they are really ignorant/or just don't care haha, they call it "jumps"

my friend calls:
"hello, is barak home?"
"no, he went to the jumps"

[mogwai]

of course they know:-p

[Buku]

i recently told my mom about it and showed her me doing btwists and stuff and she was hyped then we got into an argument and she brings up like u should be getting a job instead of jumping around in the backyard all day, then i proceed to put on slacks and shirt with shorts underneath to go sneak out and trick somewhere else

[mogwai]

my mom can webster

[Yuri]

get a job you bum

[Kitosho]

They know but they never come to watch or have ever seen it


i pretty much go tricking nightly so it's like i just leave and they know i'm at the gym


i have no non-tricking activities or friends

[Rudy]

my parents don't care

[Buku]

get a job you bum

i resent that im not a bum, i've applied to many places its just that however unrealistic it sounds almost no black people get hired in my area coupled with the fact i have no car i cant even go that far to look elsewhere for a job

[Kitosho]

sue for gender discrimination, make a bunch of money in a lawsuit


job problem solved

[Buku]

XD, racial discrimination. not a bad idea, i've resorted to using careerbuilder.com to try and find a job

[Spyder_V]

Whenever possible bring up the race card. If you're colored, you can't lose.

[Buku]

haha no seriously i doesn't work

[pekei]

My dad spotted me on backflip a few times on the beach last autumn x)
They know I trick and they don't really care.
But my mum has a wired idea that tricking will get me into drugs x)

[LProctor]

yes, they were worried at first, but were fine when I showed some footage of me doing it....didn't include any bails :tongue:

[ngswipe]

my parents think its lame and are totally against it.

[Scooba Dave]

now they do, since im going to cali for LK.

but really they found out when i got injured n needed surgery lol.

[jmsdg7]

my parents know i do it but ive never talked to them about it so they dont know what it is

when i go tricking they say "oh hes going to do his flips and stuff"

[Peleke]

Mine don't care too much.

I still get the occasional "be careful" though.

I don't really trick all too much as it is, actually, so it's not really a concern to them anymore I guess haha

[A_Wilhelm]

My mum is actually pretty fit in tricking terminology since I sometimes tell her I learned or improved xy, and she's like yeah cool, what is it and I explain it to her. Next time when I tell her I improved zx and ask her if she knew what I mean she just says, "of course, how dumb do you expect me to be", or "sure do I know what hyper means" :D

So yeah, they are basically positive towards tricking, since they realized that it's not that dangerous at all.

[Ninja_Bob]

My parents have known all along (how long would it be before they notice the grass is dying, and all the dents in the ground lol), mind you I only started a month ago.
But my parents have been really supportive, especially my dad. He shows me off to his friends like some new gadget he's bought.

e.g:
Some guy is like, 'yeah I just bought the best golf clubs available'.
My Dad is like, 'But can your son do this?' lol

Gotta love parents. If they tell you not to hurt yourself just thank them and tell them you might consider their advice :P

[mitcharr]

Haha my dad sort of does that too, if we are in public he tells me to do a backflip or something its really annoying lol

[Snoski]

my father said once: YOU WILL BREAK YOUR NECK.

Mine too. Oh wait, change YOU WILL to HOPE YOU.

After over 2 years of tricking, he's still doesn't like it for the sole purpose that's it's not a "traditional sport".

[ryanreMpfer]

My parents banned me from tricking about 3 and 1/2 years ago. Now i just tell them im out doing drugs.

[DillingerLFP]

My parents know I trick
and they know I trick with a rod inserted into my shine and being told by Doctors i need to stop.
I just settled down these days.
But my parents think there are worse things i could be doing.

[Skippy]

Lol how could your parents NOT know you were tricking?

*does aerial*

"Larry what are you doing, are you doing cartwheels with no hands again"

"Yeah mom, sorry =["

"It's ok" *walks into another room* "So what was Larry doing?" "I have no idea"

I mean sure in this situation your parents doesn't know it's TRICKING, but it's not like you can do it without them noticing.

"Are you going to that god damn gymnastics gym again?"

"yeah"

"Are you a gymnast?"

"No"

"But you're learning flips and stuff right?"

"Yeah"

"are you taking drugs?"

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?

First off....
Most tricksters aren't bitches and therefore don't need to go to the gym to trick.

Secondly....
Unless you go to gatherings there is no reason your parents would know that your involved with some kind of national community that have a common interest in MAT.

and Lastly...
All you have to do so they don't notice is be like the general teen in todays society. Just have little communication with your parents and go elsewhere to trick thats not within visible sight... Its not that hard to keep tricking obscure to parents. I mean unless you are the kind of person who tells your mommy and daddy everything :tongue:

[Skippy]

Please don't take my post so seriously Ryan =p

[ryanreMpfer]

Please don't take my post so seriously Ryan =p

So your saying that you didn't mean your post about how it is absurd that parents wouldn't know there child was tricking? I fail to see a point in you even posting in that case. Was it supposed to be sarcasm because i failed to see where you were joking.

[mchitti]

my parents encourage me to do backflips with out supervision or professional coaching with out any equipment, they probably want me to die right?

[Skippy]

Easy there, it was a half serious post, I just thought you took it a little over seriously.

In general though in a more serious manner, I would think most parents would know their son had these kind of acrobatic skills unless the tricker intentionally tried to stop their parents from knowing.

But along your comment of just being a general teenager, I guess you're right, I mean in that situation I could only imagine a parent to find out if they were like "oh so what did you do today?" "Tricking" "Whats that?" "Oh like backflips and kicks and stuff, kinda like martial arts and gymnastics"

[Marodi]

My parents use to worry about me heaps when i did it, they didnt stop me though. They were like be careful, don't break your neck. Now since i've been doing it for a while they kinda trust me, my dad thinks its pretty cool since he did TKD.

He loves the 540 kick. He watches me every now and then when i trick out the back, and he gives me the thumbs down or thumbs up depending how it looked lol.

[Reim]

Everyone needs to settle down. But I'm behind Ryan on this matter.

[Siphin]

my parents trick with me

[frankinstine]

I didn't start going to the gym and doing flips until i was like 19, so it didn't really matter what my parents tought. My mom is really cool about it though. She can't tell any trick from another, but she's cool about it. My dad is never impressed with anything, ever.

[kamikaze!]

my parents know that I trick, and they know about tricking, but they think its just pointless jumping around.
I get a lot of "find a job","find a girl" though... :bad:

[Surge!]

my rents banned from tricking. they're just jealous

[Siphin]

lately whenever i go trick hes like you gonna go spin around then fall? because i've been trying to work on some twists considering i don't have any.. and that's all he's seen me do.. all my parents like are round offs and bhs's.. frontflips cartwheels.. all gymnastics stuff.. its lame..

[frankinstine]

omg, my parents only do flips! how ghey!!

[yukojin]

my dad thinks its cool but my mum thinks i will hurt myself all time but i made it worse for myself because she saw me break my ankle trying a trick back in the day since then it only got worser for me she banned me going to the gym for a while even though i was healed

[Surge!]

YUKO TRICK IN THE SOUTH

[Snoski]

I envy everyone who has a father that supports one's tricking :depressed:

[Siphin]

my parents don't care.. i think there used to it

[Bjan]

ill tell my parents to SHAATTT UPP if they told me to stop but i dont think they even know what i do. might aswell keep it like that :D but i dont think they will tell me to stop, they will push me further most probs

[Alexx]

if not i'll come round and kill them in their sleep...

[Ninja_Bob]

I envy everyone who has a father that supports one's tricking :depressed:

First off if you have good grades or have a job and are working hard (easier said than done I know), parents can't really argue.

My Dad supports me and we are really close, but in all fairness, I support him with what he likes doing too. I'm quite happy to play the sports he does with him or join in with his hobbies and as a results he is more than happy to support me in return. You'll be surprised how more interested your parents will become when you involve them and give them some credit for your progress, it makes them feel good.

I'm sure its not that simple for some people and I'm sorry about that, but I do really appreciate the relationship I have with my parents.....even if my mum has to warn me to not land my head every single time I leave the house lol.
