Thanks everyone for the comments and subs, I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad i'm able to help some of you out. Working on more videos for this channel, but just so everyone knows I've contributed 4-5 more tutorials exclusively on Kojo's Trick Lab, so make sure you look into that because it's a really great resource for anyone who is seriously looking to improve their tricks! More tutorials coming soon, let me know what tricks or even concepts you'd like me to break down! Vaios

[@NTO4GPredator]

this tutorial should be on KTL. its really awesome. gave me a new way of thinking about gumbi and tdr

[@thedevilsfavoriteangel]

Do u even swing your arms when doing TDR?

[@petersoar2886]

Yeah, doesn’t get better than this. Lots of really good insights from someone with a desirable execution and a lot of knowledge that clearly comes from lots of experimentation and being smart.

[@GrassHopper1323]

Peter Soar haha I appreciate the comment!!

[@chiraggera3160]

This is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen. You address all the problems that one faces and how to fix them. Gumbi is still a wierd one for me, idk what I'm doing is even a Gumbi. But I'll keep trying and then move to the TDR. Thanks a lot for your insights!

[@jolodesiderio]

hey man, I just discovered your videos today. I hope you get back to making them because your insights and breakdowns make so much sense.

[@picolosangoku7347]

I've been trying to do gumbis and corks for years, watched a ton of tutorials but could never get it. Your style of teaching tricking is so unique, very detailed and breaking it down with progressions. Thanks to you, I finally understand these moves now. Keep making these awesome videos!

Excellent video! :)

[@GrassHopper1323]

Thanks man!!!

[@emancleary]

great vid, you’d probably make a really good coach!

[@MrRReounofficialKonkhmer]

I love your video

[@supremewhovian9258]

Could you do a tutorial on how to swing of scoot full, cart fulls, wrap fulls?

[@jamiehorner6357]

Doing the macocoo helped me learn the td raiz

[@jonathanjavierortizverano287]

I like soo much the way you teach keep on it!! I will practice tdr bc is one of my weakness :s The next video I would like to be switch gainers

[@GrassHopper1323]

I'm definitely gonna make a gainer switch video!! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@phoenix9620]

Finally a good explanation to tdr lmao

[@merrymaurader8283]

Can you do bhs tutorial? Your really good at giving tutorials I can’t seem to have straight legs in a bhs

[@RJ-is9ko]

Dude, I do capoeira. Great tutorial.

[@sprazer]

I have working on this trick for a half year jow and havent made much progress :( I love your tutorial that it is so informative but i still have 1 question to ask. - Pro trickers always recommend to learn tdr feom gumbi but it will teach you to place you leading foot exactly towards the direction youre going but when you do trd i barely see any one placing their leading foot like that. Ps can you please do another tdr video but with tornado kick approach? Thanks for your video man, youre the best

[@SlobosReality]

great tutorial man, maybe another for btwist/atwist

[@hrjfree]

🔥🔥😍😍

[@chikokishi7030]

I had to pause the video at "Aboot touchdown raiz" and have a giggle. Hahaha. Helpful video thanks

[@chikokishi7030]

Sidequestion.... how far into the splits can you go? Is that a requirement?

[@youtuberboysmh3453]

Good sir😘😘😘😘

[@thestiffwick4550]

Tips for high jump!!

[@merrymaurader8283]

Hope this video helps I really want to learn this bad ass trick

[@nezar1989]

i need advice or a tip.. how can i overcome fear to do flips on grass... because i know some flips and i land them good on sand but not grass...

[@lawrencestewart496]

Fantastic tutorial, but does not having a lawnmower make it easier?

[@Benni720]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="259">4:19</a> does kicking straight back also count for a regular raiz?

[@toitle2086]

your gumbi and your tdr are so fucking clean jfc

[@jordanatkinson564]

You say to kick back with your leg for Td raiz. However in your own Td raiz your hips turn over and kick to the side or even forwards, which is what you said not to do. Am I missing something? Because I would love to raiz like you!

[@phyxiusrl1687]

What was that nasty combo at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> !!!!

[@GrassHopper1323]

Aerial carrythrough tdraiz swing cork :)

[@kendalgee5808]

Daang.. this guy is fuken dope!!! - bboy from LA.

[@Zuionify]

hmmmm, nice tutorial. the gumbi type tdr is my goal. i would say i have a pretty solid gumbi, but i cant turn it into a tdr. everytime i do tdr it will become more of the valdez type. can u give some more tips and progressions on how to ultimately turn the gumbi into a tdr?

[@GrassHopper1323]

Zuionify hmm hard to say without a video, do you have footage? Could be that you’re turning too soon or not waiting for your leg to come up

[@Zuionify]

GrassHopper1323 i would guess that its mostly fear related. I do three kinds of shitty ones: a very horizontal raiz that i just put my hand down, the valdez type which yes i turn too early but if i turn later i crash, and if i force it from a gumbi it becomes a crappy 1 handed cartwheel although when i gumbi normally it is quite alright. Imma try recording them soon

[@GrassHopper1323]

Zuionify okay, fear can certainly be an obstacle but send me some videos so I can properly see what might be going wrong! I’ll give you specific tips if I can!

[@Bstylaz]

what the fkk... u are a beastttttttt

[@emadalghoul3152]

😘😘😘😍

[@quantumblitz]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> nice combo, what's that first kick called

[@Maxime-lo8ww]

Quantum Blitz I think it’s a butterfly kick

[@connorwatson942]

This is an awesome tutorial but if you are looking for another try plan zeros

[@zenixtricking4504]

True but kyles is a different version that has been proven to be less effective. Vellu uses it too and he's now working on changing it because it limits his power, so kyles tutorial while it's good, it's teaching a less effective version of the move

[@connorwatson942]

Wow that’s an extremely intelligent insight but I think Kyle teaches it, while grasshopper explains and gives awesome tips👍 so there both great.

[@zenixtricking4504]

Thx man, just telling you cause it's a hard habit to break once you go down that path, and Kyle also said personally his tdr is flawed. But yeah I totally understand your point man!

[@GastonMalondra]

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@GrassHopper1323]

Gaston Malondra ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@framemaxxer]

how to scoot? i can land standing full but when scooting get negative height...

[@GrassHopper1323]

Hmmmmmm scoot is Definitely a video that needs to be made - I dunno if i'm the one to do it but i'm gonna give it some serious thought. Thanks man!

[@GameDevGeeks]

How to get flexible??

[@lukecable2031]

How come I’ve never seen you before damn

[@4SheR]

Tip about twisting core, not hands just core is saving my tdr.

[@zolomonswan5957]

Please help me to get my b-twist higher....

[@GrassHopper1323]

this might be a good idea for a tutorial actually!

[@andywhitehead6278]

This is a good tutorial but make sure your also taking your advice because you are going to the side and not over the top like you said with your leg going back but I understand what you're getting at good job.

[@benskillings7106]

Is it possible to do a full twist out of a gumbi? Would it give you good momentum?

[@GrassHopper1323]

Absolutely! You could pop full or punch full out of gumbi (not just swing) and it would be very similar to doing standing cart or roundoff. I would say it's probably harder from gumbi though, just cause gumbi is harder. Not as common as swing but 100% you can!

[@benskillings7106]

GrassHopper1323 Sick! Thanking you from Windsor, Canada haha, glad to see that there are some really good Canadian trickers out there like yourself.

[@GrassHopper1323]

Sickkkk Windsor, not even that far. How long have you been tricking?

[@benskillings7106]

GrassHopper1323 Only a couple months, the best “tricking” combo I can do is standing full pop full, but I am still pretty young (13 years), hopefully I can get as good as you some day 😆

[@le-nm1qf]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> what is that move ??

[@GrassHopper1323]

aerial carrythrough/swingthrough tdraiz swing cork

[@lovetrolling4720]

25755th

[@bboyHarrypotter]

Also that auto zoom/focus bullshit that's going on is seriously annoying, but your gumbi and tdr advice is really fuckin good though.

[@GrassHopper1323]

Orpheus thanks for the comment man! I agree about the camera focus though, might have affected my decision to buy it if I knew...

[@user-th4xy5qr4n]

Ey?

[@cedgelevano7230]

Even after 3+ years, am I still allowed to send you my tdr for feedback? :D

[@GrassHopper1323]

Please do!

[@yupiboyni]

I think i jump to high so my hand dont touch the ground🗿

[@lalthangliana680]

U broke the flower

[@Cambio-Desligo]

Thanks! Mas doeu so de olhar voce se contorcendo todo

[@lyolkinurusov656]

Why dont you teach at the monkey vault?

[@GrassHopper1323]

I haven't been teaching classes or coaching much in the past few years because I've been more focussed on my own training and performing but I'm happy to arrange a private lesson or give online tips any time, let me know!

[@GastonMalondra]

Your camera cant stop enfoque? Hahaha

[@sjorsovertoom1100]

touchdown rice

[@bboyHarrypotter]

"There's lots of..." = "There is lots of ..." "Here's some ... tutorials" = "Here is some ... tutorials" You're using "is" when you should be using "are", though it's hidden in contractions. A lot of people do this, and honestly it's not even that big of a deal in practice, but I just thought you should be aware of it (if you aren't already).

[@GrassHopper1323]

Orpheus hahaha I guess I was trying to be informal, thanks for bringing my attention to it, never noticed!

[@biranhoro191]

pudi

[@runningriot7963]

This was super helpful honestly, I have been struggling with the gumbi, and now I am confident I can get it, thanks!
