John-Maximo of Melbourne

[John~Maximo]

Hey guys, I've been tricking on and off for the last year and a bit. It's been very hard to trick specially because of time. I've done kung-fu for 4 months last year, but I've been pretty much self taught in Martial arts, with the help of my friends who are black belts in TaeKwondo.
I'm not great, but I do try my best to overcome every wall that stands before me.

This is just a clip to pretty much let you all see what i've gotten up to. There are a couple of tricks that I should have put in there, But I will release a sampler soon.

:tongue: Cheers.

[Lloydy?!]

that was a very nice sampler man. i enjoyed it.

unlucky with that injury man, thats pretty fucked up and serious eh. hope it all turns out well for you :good:

[mchitti]

oh nice, pretty gay that you fucked up with the water, hopefully we will trick soon.

what beach was that in the clip?

[D. Mitris]

that's sweet. it's the first time i'm touched by this kind of sampler.
"i was given a second chance" you say... :wonder:

keep it up bro, and train safe!

[John~Maximo]

Lloydy?! - Thanks man. Yeh, the injury's gay and all but my foot's pretty much gotten very used to landing the heavier tricks on the top of my toes, or tippy toes. You can probably see in the video.

mchitti: Yeh, I hope we trick sometime too. Where I jumped off was at Port Melbourne. And the footages were from Sandringham beach, whilst my dad was fishing I quickly got the cam out to try some stuff out.

[John~Maximo]

D. Mitris: Oh thanks. Haha yeh the second chance. Before that trip I wanted to try some fronts and some backtucks at the beach. I kept focusing on what I needed to do, but I had to do a hell as stupid idea to jump off the pier first! -_-. But I'm getting there thank you.

Nice work, I think i have seen you at the tricking sessions at ekga 1 or 2 times

[oats]

[hurican]

good job man and train safe

[John~Maximo]

Nice work, I think i have seen you at the tricking sessions at ekga 1 or 2 times
Yeh I was at EKGA about 3 times this year. It really sucks cause I payed for the life insurance and I ended up only going 3 times cause busy-ness and all my friends bailed out on tricking. So I was left at grass tricking.

hey john, i remember u from the anzac day trick meet.... lol im in this vid..
anyways, good stuff.
Hey Oats! Man, when's a next gathering happening. Releasing any footages? new tricks?

How do you paralyze yourself from cracking your heel?

[John~Maximo]

How do you paralyze yourself from cracking your heel?

if i had hit any harder, could have resulted to a bone fracture down there, and there is about 25 or 26 bones I think in your foot and ankle which can pretty much send a shock through the body and can cause paralysis.. she said I was pretty lucky.

I realized how lucky I was when I read an article 5 months later about a stuntman who jumped off at another pier in Melbourne who landed on his head on shallow water and got paralyzed, then died a week later.

GOOD THING I DIDNT ATTEMPT A FRONT FLIP.

..cuz i was gonna. :sad:

[basics007]

oo glad to hear u healed from that.

nice tricks man...wat doesnt kill u will def make u stronger.
keep that balance between tricks too. :)

train hard!

Does that really make sense to you??? Your doctor is a fucking moron. Please terminate her.

By doctor, do you mean she has a doctorate in bullshit? She offer to stick in a needle in your sack to help your migraines? Maybe some leeches for a blood letting session?

[John~Maximo]

hahaha! I never really understood it, but I know my girlfriend gave me a massive slap, so did my mum and then knock on the head from the old man.

no worries I got a new doc.

----love your tricks by the way BboyAgua. Im a fan! *Shows downloaded videos from youtube of BboyAgua*

Haha you are in a very exclusive club! My fan club! Now I won't be the only one at the meetings yay. Seriously though thanks =].

Sorry I didn't comment on yourned tricks. The first thing from the doctor pissed me off so much it's all I could think about. Women need to stay in the kitchen. Just cooking and making babies. Also, cooking babies. Your 540 looks good. The footage quality was le sad though. Progressing faster than I did, bravo!

[funaki4]

That injury must've sucked donkey balls! Good to see your back on your feet!! I love your Dlegs :smile:.

[cepopeye]

this is the kinda sampler that i'd make...

one star....

[Rob...]

John...I was gonna say DUDE...you're in Melb you should have looked me up long ago and come tricking with me...

Then I saw that you have come to our gym a couple of times or once when we had a gathering there...

You should get over to Donvale also...

If you need places to go ask me dude I know pretty much all of the gyms in melb

Oh mygawsh, its tony surphman.

:juji: ah well, i'll have ta impress ya in my sampler. And it's probably going to be this kind of sampler again that youd make again. :wicked:

*respect for your tricks though!

[sesshoumaru]

With a such a tragic beginning, I truly hope you're able to bouce back and acheive your tricking goals. I already see that you have a style very similar to a friend of mine. He uses a lot of basic kicks [round, hook, spin hook, tornado, etc.] before he even gets to the actual trick he's attempting...which kinda makes his array of kicks more of a trick than the actual trick itself.

I've been meaning to give him some inspiration and ideas that could really impact his style, but I'm not completely sure he'd actually adopt any of them :eh:
