New to tricking

[Ekutsu]

I'm not really new to the fourms, but i decided it's time for me to get serious about tricking. The only move I have right now is the tornado kick and even that is crap.

Ok so i have a few questions.

I know I need to get myself some dynamic flexibility and juji has articles on it.
i have cut soda and crap from my diet.But as for actual tricking what should I do first?

Should I do the 5 TRICK basics on the main site.
or
Should I learn all the basic KICKS (round, crescent, ect)

I want decent tricks later on so shouldn't I learn the kicks before the tricks? or does it even matter?
Thanks for any help.

And as a side not I was wondering if a dlegtwist was like a mixture of a dleg with a btwist before landing, or is it something completely different. Just curious.

ah damn your in kent, nice i used to live there I'm in seattle, I would start working on the kicks first but also in conjuction with a back tuck, butterfly kick, and keep grinding out that tornado.

[skillzxd]

yeah. start on the back tuck too.
spotters really help. especially if they're masters in some martial arts place.
i just landed mine and since i do tkd i can easily get the btwists and the corkscrews quite easily.
i just never tried em :P

You should get good basic kicks first, since they can help with other tricks. Then you should learn the basics: B-kicks and aerials, 360s and tornadoes, and front and backflips.
To do a doubleleg twist, you start out like a regular doubleleg then straighten out and spin one more time before landing.

work on your basic kicks as you work on basic tricks. you will notice a lot of progression as your basic kicks improve. Always push yourself outside of your comfort zone and you will progress fast. Good luck man :smile:

[Ekutsu]

Thanks everyone you where all very helpful. I'm going to work on my basic kicks specifically the hook, axe, round, and crescents. When those are good I'll get a b-kick, backtuck, and turn my tornado into a 540. I'll just see where that takes me.

Thanks again for the advice guys.

I suggest learning aerial

+ get some flex! It help you a lot later
