noob tricker needs help....(vid)

[BboyShinez]

lol just a little session I had yesterday where I basically tried every trick I could think of as I usually do not have this much time (espacially in my living room) to session before my parents get home...
note that most of these moves are first attempts and Ive been tricking for 1-2 months roughly with no prior M.A experiance...
tips on anything in the video are appriciated :smile:


MASSIVE BACKFLIP FAIL AT THE END ALSO :dead:

Have you ever been spotted for a backflip? You need to be able to jump up and feel comfortable doing it otherwise as soon as your feet leave the ground you will look or lean back which will make landing it a lot harder. By being spotted you get a feel for the move and you can start focusing on technique. Also keep watching backflip tutorials over and over again so you know the perfect technique off by heart.

[Daniel_W]

for your 540 drive that knee up and watch tutorials for a better setup and try tricking outdoors maybe?:P work your roundhouse kicks maybe a little more but good still, it was a good b twist just kick up harder, was that a gainerflash or moon kick i saw haha nice ahh major backtuck fail, learn on trampoline first good job dude

[BrandonLenz]

haha

[Dynamist]

Looks good man.

[utens]

THAT TV IT WILL BE BROKEN.100%

[SeanS]

backflop cover up was excellent haha.
eh and for your 540 try to snap it out more so that you dont have the straight leg comin up thing, it makes it harder to get high and if its higher its easier to snap back down.

[Tasuja]

I'm not sure about this but shouldn't you lean back on a 540 kick?

[SeanS]

it helps get your kick higher if your not super flexible but thats just preferance.

[Miojo]

If you trick outside, you'll have muuch more room. :good:

[petrifilms]

Get height on those tricks

but the only way for that is to go outside ^^

[Mr Lane!]

lmao ur backflip bail at the end made me chukkle, great recovery :smile: nice one keep going

[Origional]

Nice video.

Why are all of your videos in black and white?

[BboyShinez]

Nice video.

Why are all of your videos in black and white?

haha thnx :smile:

and idk im not sure....guess it helps me analyze my technique better and just looks a little cleaner as my mom likes to make the living room extremly bright so its hard to see alot in color...
but my 2008 bboyin trailer is in color...u should watch it :wink:

[TricksterBee]

i like your bboy style, I personally like bboying to older songs

haha

[EmpRitz]

Your basics are coming along, I have seen far worst after two months. If you can invest in some martial arts classes and some tumbling (gymnastic) classes, its much easier to learn form people then videos imo. Also I highly suggest not tricking in you living room, one bad fall and there goes your parents plasma screen, ouch! Go outside to some grass at the least or to a gym/dojo with work out mats (even better) or to a gymnastic studio (the best) if possible. Juji has some tips on how to get into a gym in his "Top Ten Tricking Tips" article. One more tidbit of general advice, focus on using your arms more efficiently, tumbling lessons are mega useful in this department. Also watch/read tutorial for where to put your hands during your tricks. Worst comes to worst just make another post.

[Hite]

lmao do you annoy the people in your house when you start tricking RIGHT in front of the TV when they're watching it haha.

Keep it up!

[DarkXacreD]

You're pulling your arms and upper body back too early on your tornado and 540 kicks; this limits your rotation. Try fiddling around with how far you throw your arms and shoulders before pulling them back as you kick.

Other than that...find more space and decide what tricks you're doing.

And that TV is actually freakin' huge.

[BboyShinez]

o u have nooo idea :wicked:
once my dad was watching some martial arts flick and right before some huge kick in the movie i run in front and do ths like flawless 540....and im all "now thtz a kick"....
well he made me put the whole fight on again from youtube :(


and THNX EVERYONE for all the tips ill implement them as much as I can..
as for the TV...50" samsung plasma but its days seem numbered...
hopefully it wont meet the same fate as our old coffee table :bandit:

[BboyShinez]

also one last question...
i dont think its normal but I do swing moves like slant gainers with my left leg but I 540 with my right...this feels completly natural to me does anybody else have this problem?
in my other vids i got several slant gainers in my bboy vid where i swing with my left....yet as u can see frm ths vid my primary kicking leg is my right...


haha maybe 540 s/t cork someday :juji:

you mean 540_s/t_d/s_cork good luck

you should become ambi

[Artis]

Lol, the way you got up after falling on your neck in backflip really made me laugh :smile: That was probably the first kip-up from backflip bail ever. =]

[slim shadoobie]

on your au batido you want to put your hand just where your foot was, so all your weight will be balanced on that arm, on your doublelegs, just try to keep your legs straight and together, on your 540 you gotta really swing your leg and arms up there to get that height, otherwise your tornados and bboy moves are really good.

[Golzernurf]

Edit vids less, trick more. :D

Invest in a trampo?

The back bail at the end looked like you rewinded the tape to make it look like it never happened xD

[Jopez]

I did 540 first on the wrong side. Tho I did gainers and corks to wrong side as well, and it really annoys you if you don't start training tricks to same side early enough. :D So just start doing tornados and 540's other side.

[Sanzu]

Don't forget about your hands, keeping the package tight is quite important...

[BboyShinez]

thnx for all the advice....
i shouldve listened to the "trick outside" one more because ive managed to slice my heel frm one of the coffee tables....
so no tricking for a couple weeks :(

also surprisingly this happened on a cork attempt...
it was the best one id prolly done inside and it was inverted floaty and felt perfect until i unwrapped to land and my foot came down on the pointy corner of my coffee table...lol i was bleedin all over the place and i didnt evn know cause i was so happy on the cork...

[pekei]

If you think you suck after 1 -2 months of training, you didn't see me after 2 months...

[folo305crazy]

all you need bro is technique but u got things pretty much down your a noob tricker but u got alot of things noted bro when i was triyg to leanr tricking i dint know nothng at all

[Flowers]

awesome cradle at the end.

We were all there once man.

The best advice someone ever gave me was "GO OUTSIDE"
