[@TanasMK]

[@NikitaIvanovNiko]

[@georgeofthedesert]

what's the beat playing for Andrew's intro? Sounds like Daft Punk's - Son of Flynn but I don't know the mix

[@JTO0920]

Its called "Dark Side" by Anis Cheurfa (One of the Judges in here). He produced it himself although I think he used the Tron Soundtrack as a sample or something. You can find the track on his soundcloud

[@ravenveganista5155]

How long has 'tricking' been going on roughly?

[@jamesvancam]

Raven Veganista since about the 90s then KZbin came along in 2005 then it blew up from there.

After Years I still need that damn intro track when they showed micah. Does somebody know now?

[@suzieb4087]

I know Andrew's really clean; but Micah's tricks looked so much harder! And that flipping backwards is insane!!!

[@h311purg3]

You mean the corks to gainer swing throughs?

[@suzieb4087]

+h311purg3 yep that would be it! I don't know the names, since I specialize in traditional lol.. I just thought Micah (who I'm more a fan of) looked better.

[@razsecrets]

Suzie Bielinski yess and andrew had slips and fails

[@KevDaMan-pq6dm]

[@laneord]

[@hellwroughtangel]

Why can't art just be art, why must it be measured against other art?

[@TravisWongVideos]

Martial arts tricking is definitely an artform, and competition is NOT a required aspect of it at all. HOWEVER, the roots of where tricking originated in the US were through the martial arts competition circuit where competitors would show each other what they had been working on in between their divisions. Someone would throw a jump 360 kick, and someone would then try to do a jump 540 kick to take that move to the next level. Before KZbin this was the way to compare your skills to one another, and in fact Tricking battles and originally titled "Extreme Kicks Contests" date back to the late 1990's and early 2000's. Many of the originators of the tricks we do such as ***** participated in these early battles as well, making it a part of our culture from its existence but again NOT required for all of our practitioners. Battling is now a way to compare ones skill to another, and for some a form of accomplishment and way to measure the amount of hard work you put into your training. For some Tricking is a hobby, others a way of life...And for some Tricking has become a career and events such as TRICKSTAR are a way to further their careers by gaining some individual recognition while also publicly pushing the overall sport. In the end, the main goal is to spread TRICKING and introduce more individuals to its existence...This is just one of the ways in which we are doing so.

[@hellwroughtangel]

[@adrianalmagro5280]

[@nickfryy]

[@shaolin89]

Adrian Almagro I agree, its also similar to parkour.

[@ro-ck-yo5295]
