does anyone else has noticed that you can't do tricks so good as you were doing them with without shoes, for example my backflip is low as hell when i do it with my shoes. or then i just have bad shoes :/

the only shoes that I find are good at cleats or track spikes, other than that, normal shoes suck and make everything worse
I practice with shoes on, and take them off when I've made a sufficient amount of progress, so everything gets even easier.

I'm pretty sure it's just in your head, shoes aren't all that heavy..

I've only ever tricked with shoes on... I love mine. They are like converse shoes... but they are made by a good company. I have the high-top ones on this page - gotta love the ankle support!

i disagree
with shoes on you cannot feel the floor like when barefoot. also you cant realy push off of toes the same

Shoes help me have stable landings, but that's it...
I wouldn't train in shoes cuz.. after a few practices, it'll feel really weird tricking barefoot.

I tried training with shoes on before. Going back to barefoot afterwards didn't really make too much of a difference. Just train regularly with no shoes and when you are confident with your tricks start doing them in shoes (preferrably on concrete) to make you look cooler.
LivingDeadBeat, if you want something stupid/offensive/totally kick-ass for your sig, why not just slip on a banana skin, abort some jewish negro-babies, and eat high-grade explosives?

I can trick any shoes. On any surface. I also go out fully clothed in my everyday apparell (spelled wrong probably heh), though that may change in summer months. Shoes make my feet feel secure, and it will keep my toes from getting injured. Plus I dont have to worry about stepping on or in anything.
I train with shoes on then take them off. I can't land a gainer with them on:worry: but when I take them off :wicked: . I trian on concrete with shoes on but I dont try anything crazy.

I sometimes train in shoes and than take them off. After, it feels like you're fucking flying. But I don't wear them for the most part.

i usually like to train with shoes on, so that when i need to trick on the spot, i dont have to waste time taking them off and putting them back on

not wierd u dont get the gainer... I bet their heavy like shit!!!
tricking bare foot feels so good after tricking with shoes...so if you trick barefoot:Warm-up then shoes:basic crap Then barefoot:amazing tricks(u feel so light)

Have someone tried training with ankle weghts or maybe even tricked in ankle weigths,, guess it would feel kinda strange afterwards. (almost like in Dragonball!!):tongue: :smile:
