View Full Version : Thinking about starting over
None of my tricks are consistent, for example last week I landed a b-tiwst hyper hook but this week I have lost my b tiwsts. I used to be able to backflip comfortably anywhere anytime but like my b-twists I have lost them which really sucks and has messed with my tricking confidence levels. I have been tricking for 5 months, every gym session I would try at least 5 new moves and all completely different i.e instead of 5 gainer variations I would do straight gainers, b twists, cart fronts, standing fulls. I only recently discovered the tricking bible and realised that I couldn't do a pop 360, 540, aerial all the class A moves apart from b kick and kip up. So I think it would be a good idea to start again, what I mean by starting again is learning the basics(Class A tricks) and drilling them and never doing tricks not in Class A, what do you reckon?
Also how long would be a good amount of time to drill Class A for before moving onto Class B.
Thanks in advance for any help :smile:
umm dont take too much notice of the bible that is sesh's progression route every1 progresses differently and to be fair if ur happy with the moves u are learnin drill them but that s my veiw :)

Learning all your basics will help you progress faster and become an all around better tricker but the important thing is learning the moves you want to learn.
So would it be better if I focus just focus on one for a while like flips and then do the others like kicks later?

Ugh stop following the bible so closely and just trick for the fun of it. No offense to Sessh, I think he did an excellent job, but things started going downhill when trickers began following a preset system imo.
EDIT: What I mean to say is to a lot of new trickers the Tricking Bible has become exactly that, a bible.
K thanks for the advice so far to everyone who has replied. I am going to stop worrying so much and just do it for fun for now =)

Starting with the basics isn't a bad idea. Different things are easy or hard for different people. I'm just now working on back flip and I've been meaning to for a long time but its not until recently I feel comfortable with it so I've been having someone spot me and I'll hopefull get it on my own soon. So yeah its just one of those things, I cant b-twist for the life of me. 540 720, aerial, double leg, that stuff is easy for me but i can't nail btwist the fact you are able to do those after only a 5 months says something so yeah just keep at it.

You can't really "start" again now you've learned tricks :P
Just keep practicing the stuff you've learned already, but if you truly feel the need to you should learn what you dont know alongside what you're actively trying for; just treat them like you're trying to learn any other trick.
Not knowing basics wont make your tricks inconsistent, but the prerequisites to a trick can be valuable learning aids for learning the variations of it. lol, AIDS
