What you love about Tricking

[Vatic]

A long time ago I started a thread about what we hate about tricking now I am going the other way, what do u love?

I love it when you crash a trick for months and months and then finally you landed it and everyone watching goes mental.

I love it when you have a such a great day tricking you can talk to the people you were with that day and say, "you remember that day like 2 years ago when everything just went right and we landed ........ and ......., yeah those were the days".

I love it when a friend is so close to landing a new move and you say something to help them and then BAM they land it.

What do you love about tricking?

[Carl!]

I love the awesome samplers; and by awesome, I mean the ones that actually FITS the mood and style of the song, rather than some hardcore rock song over pathetically edited footage (i.e. no video/music synch, over use of silly effects, no interpretation of the song's theme and feeling [though the last one is a bit diffucult to portray])

BAIIIIII!!!

[TheRave]

The floaty feeling.

[Frederik]

the feeling of being out in the sun practising for yourself or with friends, landing or improving new moves and the occasional gatherings:good:

[Hyourinmaru]

the friends and the good times

[mogwai]

jan!.... :-D

[orichiu]

I love that tricking makes me able to clear my mind completely
I love that tricking keeps me fit
I love that tricking made me meet so much awesome people in such a short time
I love that tricking gave me more patience
I love that tricking on a bad day turns a bad in a good day.
I love that tricking stays exciting and just more and more awesome

I LOVE TRICKING

[ninjitsian]

everything

[SeanS]

The dudes, the tricks, the grass, the lolz.

[Miojo]

The community.

[Ryan Murray]

Fine ass honey dips.

[Safari]

the friends and the good times

But I haven't seen you on a session for ages! Oh weeeell

everythign with tricking is awesome. You feel like you've succeeded with something. You've got loads of friends, major good times, you manage to do something yourself, and evolve yourself. the only thinkg you wont get easy is a GF because you got over 9000 other men who also wants a girl.

[kiwarrior]

let's see: it's like being the king - as nearly nobody does tricking here, so you make random ppl surprised
I like when I'm in the gym, the tricking music is loud, and I have all the floor to do whatever I want :tongue:
but I hate those, when I wait days for the gym, and then I'm not able to toss anything. those times suck :dead:

[Tricia...]

Tricking makes me haaapppy :smile:

When I'm feeling completely down about everything else in my life, landing a new move makes everything better. It's what got me into tricking in the first place. That feeling was addicting. :O

[n3m3s1s]

Everything thats been said in this thread. I love everything about tricking, except injuries and stuff that makes me unable to trick :(

[flexibility]

I love The Funny Penors thread.

[GSimp]

I love when you do a trick and you think it looks dreadful, then you look at the video you just took and it looks fucking awesome.

[Artis]

I like how other people think that pretty simple things like backflip are almost impossible yet I find them easy to do. Really there was time when I was thinking that backflip was something unreal to learn.

[jan]

Bjarte and NAN, my beloved MEM-house, potential future recovery time with Mads, getting to know more people like Scott, Hez and Jon, finding new music I'd never listen to otherwise (like Tool), learning to appreciate the quality of good grass, a clear sky and fine nature.


There is so much:D



EDIT:

jan!.... :-D

Awwwww <3<3<3

[Jon P]

getting to know more people like Scott, Hez and Jon, finding new music I'd never listen to otherwise, learning to appreciate the quality of good grass, a clear sky and fine nature.

Pretty much this. :smile:

[Surge!]

I love it because it's the easiest sport and takes no effort.

[Hite]

I love when you do a trick and you think it looks dreadful, then you look at the video you just took and it looks fucking awesome.

I concur! This happens all the time with me.

And when you gain so much control over your tricks that you can throw them anywhere and feel the power after landing. It's like the tricks are ki and they charge you up and when you land you just bask in the power.

[kiwarrior]

I ascended yesterday before doing an aerial on my bad side, but descended to normal form soon, cuz I tell you: Super Saiyan 1 fucking depletes my energy :juji:

[Hez]

Bjarte and NAN, my beloved MEM-house, potential future recovery time with Mads, getting to know more people like Scott, Hez and Jon, finding new music I'd never listen to otherwise (like Tool), learning to appreciate the quality of good grass, a clear sky and fine nature.

Awww totally agree dude, Hez is awesome!

I love that tricking has totally opened up the world to me, i.e. I've made various international connections and friends : D. Talking to Jan/Cathrine about the penguins in Bergen one day, then Scott about how many DAMN ROADS THERE ARE IN LA compared to all the fields around me, then George about Disneyland Paris and simon about the maths course in Scaaawwtland; it feels like you're simultaneously all over the planet.

I also love the fact that tricking drove me to actually start working out and get fit and flexible, 'cuz I just wasn't in good enough shape to keep progressing until I did. I'm not sure much else in the world could have driven me to get off my lazy ass.

Finally, highfives to mufijuju for being an ever-evolving beacon of inspiration in pretty much everything he does haha :juji:

[keven]

By a fucking Music TV channel. I just sat there, watching "Murder on the dancefloor" by Sophie Ellis Baxter, when suddenly, just cutting into the song, the rickroll kicked in. I feel violated and greatly offended, to say the least.

[willbo26]

But I haven't seen you on a session for ages! Oh weeeell

this

[TiVo]

the penises

[BrandonLenz]

i love losing moves and gettign them back 10x better than they were to begin with.

[Guru]

i love it when you first discover how to do moves without your balls getting squashed upon landing.

[nightak]

basically what my man safari said! Community bitches

[waza]

ATG
everything that I love about tricking happens at ATG
that is all.

[KyleSkelly]

I love most things about tricking, injuries aren't great though.

[EddieWFR]

I Love The Feel of flying :D.
I Love The People Going WTF HES LIKE UPSIDEDOWNZZZZZ.
I Love The Friends :D.
I Love It When You Fall On Your Face And Get A Massive Rush Then Land It.

[Carmag]

Going back to basics with jan!!:P And the way that every tricker in the world, even if you've never met the person, is your superbestfriend!
And the way tricking encourages the uniqueness of styles, you adapt tricking to your body, not your body to the tricking..
And the fact that tricking is soo much more awsome than soccer;) hell yeah!

[EmpRitz]

the way that every tricker in the world, even if you've never met the person, is your superbestfriend!


This

And i love helping other people get new tricks.

[TheRef]

I love it when you get to the point where it seems like you have complete control over your body. Seeing as I dont really drill things like I should... lol But like I said, saying to myself, "okay now i'm going to (insert variation of a trick here)" And just being able to land it...
Feeding off each others energy!!!
Competitive spirit!
Being able to have a common bond between many people.
Knowing that what we do is amazing and that we are part of an elite group of human beings! lol
The life lessons you'll learn throughout your experiences whether it be social er blah blah blah...

[Maddaveman]

I can't describe why I love tricking. I just have a passion for it. It makes me feel good when I'm tricking, but I don't really know exactly why. So I just trick.

Of course there are things on top of just feeling good whilst tricking. The community online and in real life is great, and it's a good way to hang out. And I love to perform and get the chance to trick in front of others occasionally.

[stefano]

I used to love tricking a lot. But I somehow lost motivation and stopped tricking :sad:
I cba to trick alone and on grass.
But I'll always love it <3
And I'll hopefully start tricking again some time.

[Khaos]

i love all the anal

[Sudrunk Monkey]

Love the fact that, for some damn reason, I stumble across Juji on YouTube and I gotta practice.

[haylon]

Fine ass honey dips.

this.

[Marodi]

When you finally manage to slap your newest/hardest move in a long ass combo :)

[GSimp]

When you can combo until you don't have energy any more, rather than getting dizzy or running out of ideas.

[Churoflip]

The shirtless men at some random gathering

Air time

[Snoski]

When you can combo until you don't have energy any more, rather than getting dizzy or running out of ideas.
Actually Ott is pretty much the only guy on the planet who can combo that far

[willbo26]

i fucking love everything about tricking

[TKDtrickster]

i dont even remember why i love it. its just a part of me.

[dpitlock]

My favorite part of tricking is Davids strawberry shirt in the FF Project.

[ryanp-f]

I love it when you have been crashing a move, figure out what your doing wrong in it then land it- also hanging out with friends while tricking

[Scalco]

everything that comes with it. even injuries.:smile:

I don't think there's anything not to love. Except maybe douchebag tricksters.

[DarKoren]

I love tricking at any way!
The only bad thing about it that i lost my fulltwist and ill never get it back =[

[Guru]

i just lost my b twist lol. hopefully it was just a bad session and i will get it back.

[mrjack92]

I LOVE:

-Finally landing that trick you thought looked impossible when you first started tricking
-Doing a trick you are struggling with the wrong way and end up learning a new one out of it.
-Getting that feeling after you do a combo or a trick perfectly for the first time
-Feeling the results after you condition for a while
-Drinking too many energy drinks and get that urge to try EVERYTHING in one night.
-Watching Juji's youtube videos :juji:

[Rize]

I love when you do a trick and you think it looks dreadful, then you look at the video you just took and it looks fucking awesome.

Fucking...THIS. This is how my btwist progression vid was born.

The owner of the gym pestering you they're closed, but you don't want to leave because you just landed something you've been drilling all night.

The unspoken bond you share with every other guy crashing the mat with you while you train.

The fact that I stumbled upon tricking as my desire to continue Martial Arts was fading, and has re-ignited my passion.

The humility of the people that trick at the same gym I do. Everyone knows you have to start somewhere.

Listening to a song and knowing EXACTLY what you want the sampler you're going to do to that song to look like. (Im not good enough to make samplers yet but I got lots planned lol)

Getting looked at like you're a crazy person when you stop in the supermarket and throw something, just to see if you can on that surface.

Being able to put whatever emotions you have going through you into your tricks and tear the trick apart. (Rudy's Take me back anyone?)

Tossing tricks and becoming friends with a guy you met while you were stretching!!!

The list goes on and on!

[kiwarrior]

one of the best moments, which I have in all the good session is when you take your shirt off, turn on the loud music, and the sun makes you feel that you're the FREAKING TRICKIN' BEAST and you do whatever you want, and you don't care if it looks good or not cuz it feels good. And I only take rest if I really can't trick anymore, and I just lie there thinking 'wow, that was awesome'. :juji:

[haylon]

Getting looked at like you're a crazy person when you stop in the supermarket and throw something, just to see if you can on that surface.

This too.

[pekei]

I like that there I can decide when I want to trick. There is no trainings from 18 pm to 20 pm each wednesday for example. That means a lot to me. Because when I have signed up for course or have joined a sports team of any kind, I feel that I have to attend to the trainings. But when I trick, and don't feel to good one day, I can stay at home playing halo and nobody asking questions where I was last session and I still don't feel like I have skipped something.

And ofc that feel after I have landed something.

But what sucks about tricking as all those injuries :agony:

[ninjitsian]

i love my new obsession with nice grass

[xrobbatesx]

AHAHAHA i get this also!

[BrandonLenz]

My c720

[haylon]

i love my new obsession with nice grass

aaaaahhhh yes this too.

[frankinstine]

I love being able to do shit most people think is magic or undoable.

[Ryan Murray]

I know what you mean. I got a Youtube comment the other day on a 3 year old video of me tumbling where the person claimed that what I was doing was fake or at least looked fake. If only they knew...

[frankinstine]

haha, but thats because make shit look easy.

I really, really love the cummunity. I love being able to meet and get to know so many people from all over the world and have an immediate bond with them. Not to mention, tricksters are almost always awesome to meet and hang out with.

[Tpuglisi]

I love the fact that a field of grass looks so beautiful to me.

I love how I dont care if I get hurt doing something, because I know it is only going to make me better in the long run

and I love the look on everyone's face when I throw an aerial out of nowhere and theyre like "WTF??? HOW DID YOU DO THAT WITH NO HANDS?!"

[Guru]

i love it when your friend tells you aerials get rid of wedgies, so you give yourself a massive wedgie, do an aerial which just makes it worse. not.

[Victor L]

Lol, i like doing stupid simple shit like a tornado kick and everyone goes, 'Do that flipping shit again' ahaha.

[Monstyr]

everything.

thinking about tricking gives me a boner

[Jonno]

I love it when you're having a crap day at work and you can just go into a little world of your own and think about what you're gonna do in your next session. Makes it aaaaaall better.

[Rize]

Getting the random urge to go roll out a trick or two. Brought on by music, rage, happiness. Like right now I have killer shin splints and its 2:30 in the morning but I want to go tear up the grass outside my apartment.

[Silverman]

1. I look at grass alot more, i love perfect grass (who doesn't)
2. Learning new things, i accidently roll into tricking so a learning a backflip was like heaven to me ..
3. All the new trickers i meet

[killatricka]

I LUV HAVIN FUKIN SICK POWERFUL KICKS DAT CAN KILL AN LOOK SICK AN THE THRILL OF LACIN A NEW COMBO,GOIN SICK ON THE PYLO,GRASS AN SHIT !
