Tricking

[Ando2694]

Hey guys, me and my mates do this sport called tricking, its a mix of martial arts, breakdancing and gymnastic twisting. This is a video i made last year of us fitballing. We put the fitball into the sand and tricked off it. Let me know what you think.

My friends and I.............PLEASE.

Processing and music is very annoying.

This is a sport? Looks like something we would attempt when smashed.

Looks like good fun.. bunged my knee last weekend doing a back flip off a sand dune..

[TrikkBen]

Also, with the next vid show at normal speed after slomo.. some of though spins would look crazy at full speed

[kcpwns]

You guys look 15...is it really you and your friends?
Looks fun though

haha yeah guys, im 17 and this was last summer, so it really is us, this is the actual sport, a really good tricker

Jake you are the worst guy i have ever met. Also tricking is like attention seeking dancing. also How was the 18th last night?

[FstStig]

Can't really see the break dancing to it, and it's pretty much all the same shit played over and over again.

Man... if some starts you while you are down the beach... and you've dug a fit ball into the ground previously... they are SO screwed...

Not seeing the "martial art" component but very impressive as a sport.

Looks a bit like what you would expect parkour guys to do... but with a fitball.

One question, what camera did you use to record this. Slowing the slow mo.

Kids... this is what happens when you drink too much red bull.

Very impressive mate. Video's of people doing this stuff always make me feed ashamed. We're all given the same hardware and while you've mastered stuff like that I have mastered clonking on the couch without slipping my beer aka I hate you. lol.

Casio Exilim Ex F1. Also, the breakdancing is the smaller aspect of the sport, while the americans are more martial art based:



Also, the best trickers have style, the guy that i posted up before has style, but it is alot of repetitive twisting.

Luke, the 18th was loose haha

Man, this "sport" word gets thrown around way too much nowadays for my liking....First planking, now tricking, what next?

You forgot Coning LOL

You forgot Coning LOL

That's because i've never heard of it. Seriously, i'd never even heard of tricking until i read this thread. Hell, i'd never even heard of planking until someone killed himself doing it...

[Ando2694]

yeah just because its an underground movement, doesnt mean its not a sport.

[azkwazere]

this is dancing... 1 step removed from gymnastics....
Fitballing on sand was lame.. were is the skill there?... the other vids were pretty good though.

aZk.

[Adds_05]

Makes me dizzy just watching it...

[TrikkBen]

"Break dancing" is definitely not the correct term. A lot of the moves in there remind me of Capoeira, which is a Brazilian fighting style slave used to lear which incorporated fancy moves so as to disguise the martial arts element from the authorities.

You may remember Eddy from Tekken... Capoeira..

Its not dancing at all, there isnt an audience, nor is it a routine to music. Fitballing on the sand is harder than you think, it takes a fair bit of time practice and courage to attempt that stuff.

Jake all i know is that you have tried to gain a few likes or something to beat me and my Monaro thread, but instead you have failed terribly, enjoy the rest of your day buddy knowing that tricking is the worst sport ever and extreme pogo sticking is where it's at. lol

[captaincupcake]

I liked all the vids except the OP's video. Just kids doing something that most people could do

I liked all the vids except the OP's video. Just kids doing something that most people could do and then saying it's a sport.

Lol please throw up a vid of you doing this?

[87RB30VL]

Lol everyone is having a huge whinge about this, for what reason? Let the kids have their fun..

I wrote up an argument, clearing up a few things people have said about this thread, but I deleted it since I CBF arguing.
