People that learn tricks way too fast.

[frankinstine]

I'm sure everyone knows a guy or some guys like that. Lets share your stories.

I'll start. Like tonight, Devin Holt was hanging at the gym with us. I showed hima gumbi, and said well....*does a sidswipe with no setup*

What more is there really to say haha?

[frankinstine]

haha, true. lets hear some stories then.

[Spyder_V]

Back when I had just learned of tricking and I was beginning my slow journey, I got my Asian friend (who had quite a bit of TKD experience) to learn tricking with me. I learned to backtuck before him, but when I told him that I wanted to learn to 540 (we used to call it a parafuso haha), he just said, "Oh, you mean this?"

BAMF!

In my face he just 540s like it's nothing. After that, he really didn't do much else. When I wanted to learn to btwist, he was almost doubling it without wanting to. When I started wanting jacknives, he jacknifed first try. Later that week, he was getting close to landing c720twists, snapuswipes, and c720twistswipes (?).

He's now "retired", but I'll always remember him as the bastard that never tried and got tricks on his first try.

[NOT Muscle Man]

scalco...

where to start?

well, me and mike tried to show him a tornado kick and he did a sideswipe

he got snapu's in a ridiculously short amount of time spent working on them

he also got aerial twists, and hyperswipes in the same day

pretty much any trick that mike would be working on (when we first started) scalco would land his first or second try

e.g.:
gainers, jacknifes, corks, scalco landed dbl corks first, hyper twists, hyper hooks

[frankinstine]

Back when I had just learned of tricking and blah blah

He's now "retired", but I'll always remember him as the bastard that never tried and got tricks on his first try.


i hate guys like that.

[Spyder_V]

Haha yeah. He said he might do some "coming back" this summer when I head back home. I want to see if he can still do all that crazy shit.

[frankinstine]

sweet.

Ive always wondered how you guys felt about showing scalco these moves only to get dominated by him haha.
Now I'd say that you guys are all on super high levels though...

[Victor_S]

Volty, he is one of these bastards. His last example: We had a training the other day, and he tried to land cart doublefull on one foot to swingtrough.
After his next session, he sent me a cart doublefull st cork. Die

[mchitti]

Victor_S post it now!

[frankinstine]

shit, tonight i explained how to c720 twist to devin, and he almost landed a c1080 twist.:dead: not like, overroated a little bit, he almost actually landed.

[Victor_S]

I´m in the work at the moment, but i will post it later. Anyway is recorded with a mobile phone and the quality is pure crap :p

[Scooba Dave]

a lot of people tell me i progress quite fast. so here's my side of the story.

i dont stretch (unless its before a session) or condition at home, i just go in with set goals and a positive state of mind and always give something a shot. i see other people who spend way too much time working on the exactl same thing.. eg this guy who takes up the floor, to do 1 backhandspring. he has about 5 minute intervals of just standing there in his stupid set, just preparing to do it. i admit he does it quite clean and it just frustrates me that to this day, he still keeps doing that 1 bhs.

but anyways yea, if you wanna get good at tricks fast, just try shit and who knows, you may get close to landing it, then you get all full of energy n psyched and you attempt them again and probably land them that session :).

[.kiz]

i guess jiayo-chris will popup in this thread

[frankinstine]

man, fuck chris.. with his scoot msl dub btwists..

[Anima]

Thats crazy ! haha.

[daviddalo]

salajin and fresh are likethat, you just have to tell them what you wanna see

and baaam they just do it or come relatively close

[tuareg]

i have a friend who did the cleanest fucking b-kick i ever saw on his first try.

he also did the nicest b-twist, but on a crash mat.

too bad i got my b-twist before him :wicked:

Yeah, what the fuck? That's freaking sick.

[Andy R]

i progress pretty fast, i just do what davidm said. I dont go to the gym an think "ok today im gonna land a cheat1080 no matter how many times i try it" i just try random stuff and land some of it

[Siphin]

same as davidm but also if some one shows me something i can usually get it 1st or 2nd try.. mike m and jester where trying pop3>s/t 720 kick and i got it my 2nd try.. most things that require flexibility are my only downfall.. i stretch 2wice a day but my flexibility increases about an inch a month its sad..

also DEVON HOLT IS TRICKING NOW?!?! OMG LOOKOUT EVERY SINGLE OTHER TRICKER! haha HE IS MY tumbling icon.. wow if he starts tricking he'll soon be the best.. im sorry.. but its just true..

who the hell is this guy
hyper grandmastes swipe twist in 5 minute?
that tooks years to get it.

[jhyperflip]

I learn tricks really Fast

*end of my story :)*

[Rudy]

i'm one of those people i guess,not really but yeah..

[Yuri]

damien walters seems like he would be one of those people

but then just like devon holt, he has a heavy power tumbling background which helps I imagine

[NOT Muscle Man]

sorry to say, but those weren't gms twists, they were cart w/t fulls

if you watch, his leg wraps behind his planted leg rather than swinging in front

[RAWSON]

does it really matter he learnt it in the space it takes peal and orange lol

[NOT Muscle Man]

does it really matter he learnt it in the space it takes peal and orange lol

yeah, cart w/t fulls are a hell of a lot easier to do than gms twists

in gms twists your leg kicks in front of the landing leg, which means you have to twist against the momentum of your kicking leg

in cart w/t fulls, your leg wraps behind you adding to your twist


it seems like a small difference in writing, but in application it's a huge difference

[frankinstine]

same as davidm but also if some one shows me something i can usually get it 1st or 2nd try.. mike m and jester where trying pop3>s/t 720 kick and i got it my 2nd try.. most things that require flexibility are my only downfall.. i stretch 2wice a day but my flexibility increases about an inch a month its sad..

well, i wouldn't say he's tricking now. He just does a few MA tricks. He aldread had a dleg. but who knows, maybe he will.

[J-Slide]

scalco...

when i was just starting i remember mike landed a c7twist lol that shit was crazy too, and at the NY gathering that was held at old hotshots 2 years ago? or 2 gatherings ago... yeah well he did a standing gms on his first try

yeah, scalco is a beast

and thats another trick he landed first shot, gms

we watched kyle mcleans sampler together, then went and tricked, it was the first time we same anyone gms, so we said "scalco, try that masterswipe with no hands that kyle mclean did" and he did it

its here at at 0:32

[nightak]

I think scalcos "year of progression" video is pure ownage to this thread.

[tuareg]

ahaha yes it is.

i love that video!

[AndyD11]

haha a guy called spencer learnt raiz and double leg on his first attempt. We just old him how to do them. He also learnt corks pretty much first try.

[JiayoJames]

yeah, cart w/t fulls are a hell of a lot easier to do than gms twists

in gms twists your leg kicks in front of the landing leg, which means you have to twist against the momentum of your kicking leg

in cart w/t fulls, your leg wraps behind you adding to your twist

For real. w/t full is a piece of piss now, but gmt is still like wtf!

[rocketbaz]

haha, Rasmus Ott! :wicked:

yupp...

[JimmY41]

I leanrned Moonkick by accident to...Most tricks are better to do spontaniusly....How ever the fuck you want to spell that... But eh i have this kinda guy in my team...I think he is just some sort of talented.

[Victor_S]

Here is the volty´s clip which I talked about. Just some attempts after try to swing a doublefull. Is about 3mb

[Ewasiuk]

I learned double legs in 2 days. But I can't get to perfecting them because my back :sad:

[Skippy]

I learned double legs in 2 days. But I can't get to perfecting them because my back :sad:

I don't think this is considered fast anymore haha. I learned 540 kicks in two days, aerials on my first try after I decided to stop pissing k slash off with cartwheels, I learned standing front flips in 2 days before I learned running ones, I learned websters and standing websters on the same day. I don't think though tbh my flip ones count, because websters and front tucks I got NO height on, I could just rotate like a motherfucker.

Aerials are easy, and 540 kicks just need good foot placement. I drilled basic kicks alot too so it's not like I done no work to get them, I mean I done them alotttttt. If I decided to actually dedicate myself to tricking I think I'd learn fast, but I'm just so lazy that once a week is enough for me :]

[Ewasiuk]

Haha I used to see shitloads of threads complaining about double leg problems even by more advanced tricksters.

[Tygur]

haha technically i did my first backflip first try (grass, no spotters or anything) but then I bailed the second one onto my neck and never tried again.

and i suppose the same way of thought, i got my btwist on the first try but then, actually i never tried again.

i did a sushi roll on accident a few times, way back before i knew it was even a trick (i think thats what its called, i was just fucking around really)

and then there was that time i got messed on a couple bottles of nyquil and tried my first wallflip and managed a ceiling flip, i guess it would be called. then passed out and didn't try again.

basically my entire tricking career before i quit was trying something one to 3 times and getting it, then saying "well i guess i can do that" and never trying again. the exceptions are the 540 and the tido which took me fking forever.

anyway i'm too fat to do it anymore but i'm losing weight and if i lose enough i'll try my hand at it again.

[Sudrunk Monkey]

I kinda knew a guy who could pick up a trick; wasn't great, but he understood it. Yeah, I think his name was Sudrunk Monkey. *scratches head*

[Adam Ross]

haha, Rasmus Ott! :wicked:
