So, a lot of hard work went into this one, shows my summer progress basically. :smile:
But dragonfly? The video says anniversary sampler, what does that mean?
Yes: It tells something about how long I've been tricking, in my opinion. cause my tricking experiance has been like this so far.
2 years ago (summer) Landed my first backflip, did only that for the entire summer, some may say I started tricking here, but I don't.
1 year ago (summer) Started to learn a few more tricks, c720, 540, pop360, and like, bad btwist and aerial twist. The problem was here, that I was doing them on my other side.. Was still tricking though, so I count it as if i started from here
Half a year ago (winter) Re-learnt all the tricks I had on my bad side on my good side (sounds weird) And in the beginning of this summer, I had all the tricks on my right side and could do all the basics better than before, So I could finally start progressing, and this video shows what I've learned since then :smile:
So here you go, a video full of flips, kicks and very few twists ^^
Leave a comment please, I would actually not be happy if this got unnoticed :tongue:

Haha, but I actually have real trouble coming up with very simple combos, but I cheated a bit, based everything around masterswipes, 540's and arabians :tongue:
I love your 540s man :pineapple:
I love you <3 :tongue:

Really nice stuff overall too

Now, another thing I just realised, this sampler shows that not all swedish people instantly becomes superhumanly good at swingthroughs and twists :smile:
(if you didn't notice, not a single s/t in the video, if you don't count the master and grandmasterswipes :tongue: )
Thanks kamikaze, means a lot :smile:
EDIT: Thanks you too aug. You're the one that has commented my videos most frequently, and always kind, whether it being advice or encouragement :smile:

Thanks, Oh yes, I suck at j-step tricks, and as I sait, I can't s/t anything :tongue:
I will try and improve j-steps and gainers though, thanks again :smile:

hey man can i suggest one thing??
for ur gms (grand masterswipe) dont tuck it in or make it look like a flash, instead, think more of an aerial!
so go at it sorta forward, rather than backward (so it wont look like a cartwheel s/t opposite side gainer switch )
good luck, really cool moves man :good:
wi boo
Jul-18-08, 09:28 PM
Wow you have some pretty nice combos, i like your c9s and sideswipes.
Was that a swipeknife i saw in there? Oh u devil u.
Good job :)

Yay! This was cool. Your websters are epic badassery, and same for aerials. Some kicks are sloppy but comboed pretty well. I can't believe the combo at :45. A running 3/4 twisting side to arabian lol? Weird but cool.

Yes, My GMS'es are not that good, and I know they look like gainers atm, but that doesn't bother me too much, but I will definately work on them :smile:

Swipeknife attempt at least :tongue: I need more extension on both kicks, but mostly the second
YES!

Haha, thanks, websters' gone through some work :smile: Yeah, esp the c9 is pretty sloppy, as well as sidewipes, when I try to combo them, that is :tongue:
About the combo at .45, it's somewhere inbetween a btwist and a fulltwist, I jump off both my legs at the same time, from a btwist setup, and sliiightly more inverted than a btwist :smile:
Thanks you everyone that has commented, I probably missed to reply to some, but don be sad, I love you too <3 :juji:

This is exactly the kind of sampler I like to see. A lot of outside footage, powerfull tricks, strong and creative combo's, some experimental tricks (the btiwst/fulltwist thing) I really enjoyed this sampler, keep it up!

Thanks :smile:
The reason I have lots of outside footage is because i CAN'T trick on plyo :dead: The only thing better on plyo is tumbling and poptricks, impossible to kick there, haha :tongue:

Haha, I guess you know what it's like to trick, you mostly train on the things you're already decent at (kicks/flips) Even though you probably SHOULD train on the things you suck at (twists) But you don't because it's so damn boring :tongue:

Fyllde 15 i mars :smile: Vill komma ner och tricka, men ajg får varken pengar eller tillstånd av mina föräldrar. Men nästa år när jag sommarjobbat ihop lite, både pengar och förtroende, kommer jag nog ner på nån gathering, typ om det blir en till HSG :smile:

Ah man that was really good, a solid first sampler! And your tricks were even better than I originally expected haha, awesome. I'll comment on some specific tricks... first of all, very nice opening combo, nice control over the kicks. I also like how you abuse the masterswipe a lot, that doesn't happen too often :tongue: - masterswipe_full was sweet! Your 540 kick is freaking solid, and so are your atwists, so: atwist_hook_540 and the webster_atwist were freaking good :good: Combos at 00:58 and the one after with the raiz_arabian, nice! And I really don't know why you butcher the dleg_flashkick, because I thought it had nice flow and looked quite solid :punched: Very nice arsenal of tricks (you can cork!), and lots of creativity and diversity in your combos going on.
I also enjoyed the outside locations of course, that's what I like to see most in samplers: the fresh outdoors! And the spot you trick in looks great haha, forests ftw. Excellent sampler my friend, you've inspired me to try some new stuff combo-wise :juji:
Now keep up the good work and get those damn running aerials in the sequel to this haha.

Gotta love specificness :good: I didn't really like the dleg, cause it was punched, and not treated like a kick, and the flash afterwards was flashing like this \/ instead of \ __ :tongue:
Yeah, the grass is pretty good, altough it's wet most of the time :dead:
I love masterswipes :juji:

i get wot ya mean man :wink: but dont worry, maybe ur twists will never be as good as the others but they will still progress and be at a good level so no worries, just keep on doin wot ur doin :good:

Thanks :smile:
I love masterswipes and cheat9's.. I leared them just recently actually, I needed more footage for the sampler, I had about 1.30 of 1.50, so I went out and practiced them for 2 hours one day, and 30 minutes the next, thus getting them to where they are now.. So I'm extremely happy to hear that they are looking good :smile:
Nice man! keep it up!
gött för att ha tränat i 1 år :)
now thats how you b-twist at 45 seconds

Not sure if you could consider it a btwist, since I jump off both my legs at the same time, and also doesn't resemble a Bkick gyro the slightest, Glad you like it though :tongue:

Achhhh I hate that when I realized I've been doing tricks to wrong side. :D But yes, very nice and clean style, I liked it.

Haha, yes, at first, I tricked by my good "kick" side, but since I wasn't very far off, i changed to my good "twist" side (clockwise)
:smile:
Marodi: Thank you too :smile: :smile:

Whoa! Kickass backyard tricker style. Everything is really clean. Seems like you put a lot of effort into technique. At this rate I think you could be really good.
P.S. was it you that posted that crazy powerful 540 a while back?

I AGREE! :smile: PRETTY WELL ROUNDED TOO, IT'S NICE TO SEE SOMEONE ATTACK SOME OF THEIR WEAKNESSES INSTEAD OF JUST GOING FULL BOAR WITH THEIR HEAD DOWN IN ONE MODE. AND YOU ALREADY HAVE A STYLE COMING THROUGH INSTEAD OF JUST A HANDFUL OF MOVES - TRYING TO EXERCISE YOUR CREATIVITY. IT'S FANTASTIC! :wink: LIKE THE GM SWIPE'AGE ALL OVER AND THE GENERAL CHOICE OF COMBINATION. :good:
AND OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO SEE ANOTHER TRICKSTER STARTING IN THE BACKYARD; WE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF OUR KIND! :cool:

Mine is similair to yours.When I first started tricking I learned
cartwheels/aerials/roundoffs/brandis/arabians/b kick/btwist on the wrong side.it sucked so bad.
Now I have eveyrthing back exept for clean roundoffs and brandi's.But I don't do brandi's anymore.
