[Ensiferum619]

I watched all of these, Ranging from the Chewbacca hair days. You are getting much better, Hopefully injuries wont hamper further progress!

[HsFDowney]

your not bad. never forget to keep encouraging

others k.  : )

[greytale]

Thanks Ubay @ Ninjashadow... much oblige!

I'm hoping to heal up my October '09 ankle injury more quickly so that I can get back to training around 3 days a week...

Grrr... now I can barely do anything, hahaha! :D

[ninjashadow19]

your not all that advance but you have a badass b-kick

flint

[ubaycentral]

you've improved a whole lot man. big props. nice swingthru

[SwipeH]

lots of progression here man. good stuff:)

[greytale]

Thanks... I appreciate that. Too bad whenever I look at my footage, I just think... damn... I look so SLLLOPPPYY!!! :D But... it's probably because I lack all the core kicks and that "tricking flow".

I'm getting better each day though... and it's a fact that it doesn't come overnight.

[ubaycentral]

i think i might steal your song for a short sampler or something hehe.. x)

[Vman9484]

Dope you trick awesome =)

[AxTraceur]

nice man thats really getting there!

Loved the combo at 2:16

I'm currently out with an ankle injury and its so frustrating!!!!!

anyways, keep it up man :)

[greytale]

Ahhhh nooo! :( That is not good to hear with the injury... rest it well.

Thank you though... I'm about to post another video, and although there are no combos... it's not bad. :)

[AxTraceur]

I have rested it, I'm almost back, and am just uploading a video of the conditioning I've done whilst I've been out to help me come back stronger then before :)

ahh awesome dude, cant wait to see it!

[cripemagic]

how long did you take to get this good

[greytale]

I would hardly call this "good", but I've been "tricking" for ~2 yrs, only 1 of which 'more seriously'. Mostly one day per week.

In 2006, I was on my own, re-learning to do a back tuck. I figured b-kick wouldn't be too hard either. Then I aimed for b-twist...

By '07, a b-kick & b-tuck were easy. My 540 was weird b/c I was doing a "pop" setup (not common). B-twists were shakey.

In '08 was the L-kicks summer camp, & it was GREAT! I started tricking > once a week, & now I'm up to ~3 days/week.

[grimzors]

dude...thats some really sick shit! i've always wanted to get into that sort of sport!!

[CyberNinja]

i have started all of those moves... like i dont have training but i have always been ridiculously acrobatic so I just see and do it. We are using that for our next SW fan film. thanks for the inspiration. Good job, you are coming A LONG WAY! Keep it up, you have an eager audience to see your progress.

[greytale]

You're welcome--for some REAL inspiration... look to Sessh, Anis, Prodigy, Hans, Luu, Chris D., JayR, and many others of course!

[aznctryboi87]

WHAT tTHE HELL!! BTwiST S/t gainer!!! I'm JJEALLLOUSSS!! =) I was literally screaming when I saw that! =)

[greytale]

hahahha, sup Will... Will is in town!! :)

thanks for the shout, but... hmm--I HELLA have to work on it if I want it to be any good. It's really only thanks to me watching Chris D.'s tutorial on getting the setup (the one with JayR showing the progression of the moves)...

It's a lot more work if I want to make it good height + clean + **consistent**!! :)

[InfectiousGore]

Nice stuff man.

I'm getting into the entire scene more and more.

[Deano2611]

nice back flip

[LouSophstar]

[demonchipz]

[greytale]

Thank you... :) really... I actually needed that right now... I was having a *really* bad and dark night here...

So again... thanks quite a bit. I was horribly depressed and feeling like complete shit, but... that kind of "over the top" comment gave me some hope! :)

[WickedWorld1986]

I think anything done in this video couldn't be done by me, so obviously it's good :P:P:P

[zonamarcial]

nice work Nova, you have the power.

[greytale]

hahahah zona!!! Stan Bush, baby... "you've got the POW-WUUUUUUUuuuuuuhhhhhh... YEAH!"

lmao!! :P

[Marcopolo177]

For a first day back that look damn good lol. Keep it up man ^^.

[greytale]

Thanks Marco. Coming from you, that is dope!

Hey... and thanks for posting all of those Yellwboy vids... I was lucky to meet him like--what was it, 5 months ago when he dropped into the new L-Kicks place??! I hope we see him more...

[simpsonfan272]

I dont know if there is another Marco on here but I know i havent commented on this yet haha. however i must say that everytime i see these you have gotten exponentially better, and it is just hella cool to watch!

[greytale]

Hey Marco... heheh, thanks and yeah--Marcopolo is a DIFFERENT Marco... he's actually a tricker/MA guy. I met him during some of the open gym sessions (and possibly @ L-Kicks 2008 without knowing).

Good to hear from you, and hey, stop by my fencing classes anytime. For you, first visit is free, and my floor fee is only $10. :)

[frankinstine]

fuck yes man! you're getting so much better. Are you going to be coming to Loopkicks again this year?

[HamSTAB0i]

omg twist s/w gainer!!!

[greytale]

omg you better get your butt over to BOP III audition #2... it's going to be @ Vegas on the 28th, 2pm to 5pm (Sunday).

The word is gonna be gettin' out through myself, Deezy, Mark P. from WC Hollister, and hopefully a few other ways... :D

--Nova

[SefDem]

your btwist / bkick is really high...well done!

[greytale]

Thank you! Your moves are nice too--I saw the '07 sampler of yours... wow, looking fwd to recent footage! NICE air time & corks... aaaaah!

[xeodisc]

You say this takes study? Where do you study? Some secret Jedi Dojo Enclave?

[sarpcarr]

[davetrickis1]

Nice keep it up!! :)

[tonygoldmen]

[CDspartan21]

wow, i wish i had that kind of agility..very impressive

[greytale]

Thanks... but... you call THAT agility?!? :) Unless you mean Hans (Hizans), heheh.

But... yup, I'm trying to get better at Tricking.

[CDspartan21]

haha well im pretty athletic but I definitely would not be able to just go out and do flips like...obviously you guys do train for it but regardless, its amazing, kinda makes me want to try it out =]

[greytale]

Go for it! Like so many things... just takes time, study, practice, training--and dedication. :)

[ddrusa]

cool

[isaevg]

[greytale]

I'm bringing the sound back... heheheh! Yup, thanks to "LordOfDoom5432"'s awesome video that helps get things back in line due to "fair use".

THANK YOU, also... I'm *trying* to get better... fo' sho'... :D
