Hi!
So you are working on learning your next trick or maybe wanting to improve on some older ones?
Well, sweet! You have come to the right place!

But before creating a new thread make sure to make use of some of the tools already available to you!

Search function. This site has been around long enough that odds are someone has already posted a thread about the same thing you are inquiring about!
Check the mainsite. This is trickstutorials.com and there are trick tutorials on the main website! :shocked: They are also probably the best tutorials you will find in tricking, so start reading!
Youtube. If Juji doesn't cover the trick you are seeking help for than try youtube.com. There are TONS of tutorials on youtube, be mindful that some are absolutely horrible though. haha
Other tricking sites. There are more sites out there besides this one, go check them out! There are a couple with some really well made tutorials as well! Try fellow TT moderator Skilzat's website; http://www.justtheskills.com/
Practice and watch samplers. Nothing can replace practice. No amount of tips. So make sure you are not just doing the trick a couple times and then posting for advice. Not only will advice do you no good at that point but people won't want to help you if you are not trying to help yourself. Tricking is hard! Especially if you have not done anything athletic in your life up to this point. So be patient and watch videos of other trickers performing the techniques. Practice, analyze, practice, analyze--that is what tricking is all about.


So you have tried all the above and still can't find what you are looking for or maybe you are still confused about something??
Then that is what this forum is here for, there are tons of very skilled and helpful trickers that frequent this board but no one likes to repeat themselves a hundred times. So be sure to try out some of the things I mentioned above before asking for advice and you should be fine!
Remember to be patient! You have to build a strong base before you can build on it and that takes time. So make sure to practice your core skills [hook kicks, round kicks, cartwheels and so on] because with stronger core skills everything else will come much easier. For beginners [and anyone else of course] be sure to check out Juji's massive flexibility section on the main site.

Thanks and good luck with whatever trick you are working on!
Practice, practice, practice, analyze and repeat.

maybe there should be a pop which reminds everyone to read the stickies and use the search function each time they enter specific subforums

Pretty good solid advice for people looking for help haha. Thanks for the plug too :smile:. I think this may in fact replace the other sticky we've had for a while.

^ This

it's frustrating when people are like "HAI GUISE! HELPZ ON MAH BACKFLIPZORZ" and then don't post a video or fail to even look at the main site tutorial.
