Are you passionate about tricking?

[ChrisMack]

e.g. You think about tricking all the time, wanting to go outside on that sexy patch of grass haha or the gym and just to feel free and know there are no limits to what you can do. The enjoyment of what us Trickers get out of Tricking is what makes life worth living.

IMO it's only passion that can drive Trickers to new heights and levels of skill!
So many people may have a love for something but only dabble in it or watch other people because they don't have the work ethic.

Tricking is hard sport to get even reasonably good at and it's a constant uphill battle to get good but it's all worth it when you land that trick you have been working on for months in your backyard or any measurable success (got stronger,flexible ect) fuels the passion.

Passion is a key ingredient for success, in MAT,Martial Arts and life, because it helps us to focus and drives us to improve. So how many people on NZtricker are passionate about Tricking ?

[Iikkap]

I am. I still suck though, haha.

[mogwai]

I live, breathe, am tricking

[[J-W]]

I also am lol sometimes it's hard to get to sleep cause thats all i can think about :ogre:

[rwm]

Yes i think i am.
Tricking is like masturbating you can't stop for too long or you go crazy haha. :good:

I approve of this stolen thread.

[Braka]

Haha i don't think i've ever been quoted like this before

[hijiex]

Yeah sometimes it's hard for me to sleep because I think about it, and the first thing I think about when I wake up is new ways to try to land a trick I'm currently practicing.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Every night before bed I just lay there thinking about tricks constantly & what tricks I want to go out & learn,I even vision samplers in my head when I'm listening to music in bed,although I've only been tricking for a few weeks.

Edit: Fuck! I can't do any trick at the moment because I've injured my back.:sad::agony:

[jan]

It's hard to be passionate about tricks when you're constantly limited by injuries everywhere.

[rwm]

Cheer up Jan!
Everyone still loves you haha.
Injury time is time to be creative and dabble in new influences to think of new tricks and combos.

Hope the project works out fantastic, Chris, you should post it up when it's done if it is a written project.

[Torre]

Tricking is just a side project for me, so I'm not really passionate about it.

[ChrisMack]

Its a video project for media mang. Should have some good editiing in it :D

[Surge]

I used to be haha.

[joepaxton]

When im tricking is probably one of the only times I'm care free:smile:

Also i try not to think about tricking when im not as i always think of combos which i know i should write down......but then don't and promptly forget them.

[shengoikee]

i think i've got the passion back this last week :smile:

i don't think it's all about how regularly you want to trick though.

before that i just got injured way too much....

It's hard to be passionate about tricks when you're constantly limited by injuries everywhere.

this haha :agony:

[NinjaMuffin]

i loves tricking, its like ur awesome girlfriend.
she's awesome, but she can be so fucking gay sometimes. and injures you...
so then you cant do her for a while...

[Iikkap]

My GFs never injured me :F

[NoMore]

[Cathrine]

[NinjaMuffin]

im glad u enjoyed it. someone sig it! :ogre:

[Anima]

I used to be. However, now I'm much more into editing and Anime.

When I land a new Trick, I don't get that buzz anymore.

[Skilzat85X]

It's hard to be passionate about tricks when you're constantly limited by injuries everywhere.

Cha-ching! I quite agree haha.

[anerky]

I'm definitely passionate about it. Tricking brings me greater joy than about 78.4% of the idiots that I have to put up with and greater enjoyment than pretty much any other endeavor ever.

I do agree with this though...

When I land a new Trick, I don't get that buzz anymore.

I alway feel like I should have had the move or combo about 3 months back... I just am that much closer to not-fail

[joepaxton]

im glad u enjoyed it. someone sig it! :ogre:

I would have but I've been mawled by moonface!!:ouch:

[Anima]

Can you not change your signature if you're moonfaced ? :O I didn't know that.

[Siphin]

i made a thread about this a little while back.. im obsessed with it..

[Mr.Parafuso]

I usually think of tricks during sex...like that Jan sampler, ohhh my god! But usually when I'm in a car or bus I usually see me doing tricks on the road as we drive by shit:)

[Anima]

You write loads about your thoughts on Tricking ect don't you ?

[[RozoN]]

oh, I wish I still had the motivation that some of you grasshoppers have :tongue:. My burning passion is long gone, I don't think tricking 24/7 anymore and I'm not addicted to landing a new move. I just lost that spark somewhere along the way. I guess I just realized that there's other thinks I can do/become lol. I only trick now, because the thought of wasting 4 years for nothing and wasting all those skills make me sad :sad:. I'm probably still passionate about it, but not in the same way I was before :eh:

[dpitlock]

i AM tricking

[cepopeye]

hahaha, i probably am though i hate those terms

[NinjaMuffin]

I would have but I've been mawled by moonface!!:ouch:

ah yes, well dont forget it :tongue: we lose teh moonface tomorrow do we not?

[Anima]

I lost mine at 7 :)

[joepaxton]

ah yes, well dont forget it we lose teh moonface tomorrow do we not?

Haha, I don't noes!

[Topher]

that whole post should be my sig

[Kay]

If tricking was a living thing i would have sex with it, thats how much i love it.

[jmsdg7]

im redicously passionate, everytime i close my eyes i feel my body moving through the air doing the tricks ive done that day or week!!!:juji:

[Scott]

I'm not passionate about tricking anymore.

[Kay]

I'm not passionate about tricking anymore.

You've met a women havent u!!

Where is she ill kill her!!!!!!! :ninja:

[Scott]

Hahah YES I HAVE, however I've been with her for 3.5 years so that's nothing new. I lost my desire to trick much last May, when I hurt myself a bit. Then, in the absence of tricking I lifted more, and now I feel heavy and slow when I try to twist as fast as I used to. I can still do my tricks, but they're harder for me now.

That being said, tricking on the giant red bouncy blob in Bergen brings it back for me :smile: next week wooooooooooooo!

[LukeTheNuke]

Wow, tricking is like, second only to God... I started 4 years ago and still have the same passion that i did then. I got a job bussing tables recently and it can be pretty tiring, but the money I'm earning I'm saving to go to Loopkicks someday, so when i get tired i just think "Im getting tips to better my flips" (kinda gay but whatever) and i feel better. It's basically what my life revolves around, my diet, lifestyle, health, social circles, free time. I still get buzzed when i learn a new trick. It's wonderful

[Kay]

Dear Scott


When ever i think of a big Tricker "Mike Martini" Comes to mind....
Are you bigger then him if not i don't wanna hear your bitching...BITCH

Yours Sincerely,
Kay


P.S LOL

[Scott]

I weigh like 50 lbs more than Mike Martini hahah

[dpitlock]

i weigh 190

[MehrunesDagon]

I'm extremely passionate about tricking. I have similar thoughts about tricking as other people, as in I think about it all day and I even drove 2 hours with a friend of mine to see a seminar that lasted maybe an hour(it was worth it), but when I trick, unless I'm with a large group of people, I just can't feel the energy and enthusiasm that I normally have when I'm envisioning it. I still love it though!

[Scott]

i weigh 190

You don't count. I'm still 10 lbs heavier than you, I'll use that as an excuse til you reach 200. Then I'll gain to 210 and repeat.


I should also add that while I weigh a lot more than Mike Martini, I'm also like half a foot taller than him (I think).

[breykdown]

trickers are weird people

I mean in size not weight, Shit i weight 198lbs and i think im skinny...
I mean Mike is muscular and shit and has no trouble moving...
Plus your taller so its only right to weight more then him

trickers are weird people

Y thank you.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Yes! I'm so disorientated off these painkillers. Haha,a few weeks into tricking & I'm out for at least one week.

[Reim]

That being said, tricking on the giant red bouncy blob in Bergen brings it back for me :smile: next week wooooooooooooo!

I dream of that blob.

[PINOY]

tricking is the reason i have trouble focusing during class
too buzy staring at the big patch of grass outside the window

[jan]

I only weigh around 185lbs, but I can easily notice the 50lbs increase I've gained during the last 4 years. My ankles hurt more easily, and grass tricking makes my shins cry in pain.

Hopefully, I'll stay injury-free from now on:)

ugh i weigh the same as you and get ankle pains doing some of the harder stuff :agony:

maybe i should lose a lil weight

[Alexx]

shit i never thought of that...

i wonder if it would help much, hmm hopefully

[jan]

I think I'm gonna stick at 185 tbh. I just need to keep this weight for a while and let my body adapt, I think.

And I'm building freaking diamond ankles at the moment:D

[tracekillz]

i spaz in my sleep sometimes cuz i throw tricks in my dreams..

..im not crazy, i swear.

[Skippy]

How're you going about this Jan?

[jan]

Strength exercises.

[Skippy]

What shiz? I've never heard of strength exercises that directly strengthen ankles haha, or are you doing mega squats?

[JiayoJames]

Well I am passionate about tricking... but I'm not gonna bother with an extravagant expression of that passion in this thread. You'll just have to take my word for it.

[shengoikee]

i guess that should work in theory =D

i was just talking to a gymnastics coach the other week about weight and he told me people usually get ankle pains no matter what if they're over a certain weight. which i thought you could most likely counteract with conditioning.... but still.

are you just doing the good ole calf raise/shin raise/theraband combo?

[Scott]

I actually don't get ankle pains ever and I weigh more than you guys. Just don't fall in dumb ways/be already crippled with shin splints etc and you'll be fine.

And Kay you weigh 198? Really? How tall are you?!

[shengoikee]

haha you're right... it's just fulltwists and corks that kill me :agony:

oh and every aerial move ever

and tumbling

[jan]

Foot circles, calve-ish raises and reversed ones... Just general movement in awkward positions which mainly include the ankles.

[jan]

i guess that should work in theory =D

Pretty much, hahaha.

[Ernest]

If you replaced "tricking" with "toast" or something, this would sound like a thread of people confessing mental disorders lol.

[Kou]

Well I've gotten to the point where almost every song I listen to turns into a potential sampler in my head...and imagined doing a trick off of every desk in my classes...and I cartwheel off of my bed every morning XD

[Jujimufu]

I'M NOT PASSIONATE ABOUT TRICKING.
TRICKING IS PASSIONATE ABOUT ME.

[Kou]

OH SNAP!!! Why are we tricking?! We should be Jujimufuing!!!!

[Scott]

*grabs needle* LETS GO BOYS

[shengoikee]

lollllll
