If you could trick for the rest of your lives

[Flowers]

Let's say that tricking has no long term affects on your body, and much like golf, you'd be able to continue tricking at your full potential until the day you died (lol teddy)

How would your life change?



I think I would actually consider living a very very modest life and just trick and goto gatherings constantly. The only thing stopping me from doing that now is that I know some day I won't be able to, and then I'd be screwed.


How about you guys?

[saunders]

i think by that time i would have moved on. you know, wife+kids+house+dog hopefully. i love tricking but even without injuries i would probably quit at some point.

[Surge!]

I will always be the cool grandad that can do back tucks.

But the thing is, what would you move on to?

But the thing is, what would you move on to?

wife+kids+house+dog+job would keep you pretty occupied. and also as time passes you get mentally older and i think eventually the interest in tricking would fade away over time.

[Mumm-Ra!]

as long as there are always more gatherings,
and the boundaries of the sport keep getting pushed

i dont see how anyone could get bored.

Most people have hobbies besides tricking haha.

[Flowers]

And you will continue to persue those hobbies as well =)

To be honest I would be throwing standing double backs on concrete because I could never get injured. Loophole for the win.

i would just keep tricking, probably with other mentality...less "push my limits and see what i can do" and more "lets just chill while tricking".

i laugh my ass off with the idea of having a 70 year old guy at a gathering saying:"step aside son, i'll show ya how we did a d-cork back in the days"

live in the woods, swim in the pond, trick in the field.

thats my dream. To become an old guy, but a cool one. I'll probably quit tricking when im 30 or so, and pick it up at 50 for a few years. I love tricking, and i think even when im withered away and can't do it anymore, ill still go to gathering and shit

[TrickinNINJA]

oh yeah im not gonna stop. even if i cant do awesome tricks ill still teach kids to back tuck. lol the idea of little kids parents calling the cops on an crazy but flexable60 year old man teaching them tricking lol. and im all like you cant take my grasshoppers from me!! the tricks will live on!!

So it actually does have long term effects on my body? OMGZORS Im quitting guise. :shocked:

This was a massive issue for me. I was accepted to NICA (National
Institute of Circus Arts) but was also offered a massivly high paying job once I finish a 2 year course and a 2 year traineeship (1.5k-3k US$ per day with it doubled if I go off shore). I had also just recovered from a fairly serious spinal injury. In the end I chose to take the high paying job based on the fact that if I injured myself like that again my tricking days were numbered. If I had no chance of injury then I guess my choices would have been different.

I'm going to be a teacher, raise a family, and play guitar for the rest of my life. At least that doesn't fuck up my joints.

I'm already about to have to quit because I slipped a disk, tore both rotator cuffs, and broke a foot all within like the last year haha.

Not really a loophole is it cause thats a short term effect not a long term one :wink:

Hahahaha! I need to sig that!

And btw, if I could trick forever I'll do it for sure. I'll probably quit school and have a modest live, just like Towels said. I just want enough money to eat and train.

Then I'll become an hardcore 75 yo. tricker! :cool:
