Novastar: Tricking Training 6-16-09

Still no miracles. But yup... the tricking is coming along. I was hoping to get more "flow" in this session, even though my back was still a bit iffy.

Again, special thanks to Hans, Luu, Sessh, Chris D., and many many others. I know I always say it, but... I'm lucky to be in an area that is "lush" with tricksters.

More stuff to come later...

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

[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.

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

[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. :)

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.
