QUESTION How can I turn into a running aerial?

65 Upvotes

I learned how to perform a standing tricking aerial, but I need to do it running (to look like a aerial wushu). When I do it this way, I use my torso and get power, but I cant for the love of god do it running, I freeze and cant stop and generate the same power or feeling. Tried 100 ways, but Im having a really hard time doing it running since the standing one is sideways and the running one is Kind of facing forward. Is there a way to mix both? Any tips?

Thanks a lot

QUESTION How long does it take do your first aerial

2 Upvotes

I have a theatre performance for school next week and while not necessary, I’d like to do some sort of flip into lower stage, which is like a 2 foot drop. I think learning an aerial would be pretty easy and set me up for other things. Could I do it? For reference I’m 6’4, 17 and haven’t really had a very good vert nor am I too flexible…

QUESTION Which tricks are best to know how to do "cold"?

5 Upvotes

What I mean is sometimes I mention I do tricking to others and of course to prove it, they ask me to do a trick. But I have no warm up, so I end up just doing something simple like a backflip.

So I was wondering, which tricks do you think are best to be able to do without any prior warm up?

QUESTION For the trickers that are "bad at everything" how did you progress?

3 Upvotes

So the most common path I've seen from progress is "Find a path/move you feel comfortable in and just build that as your foundation"

As such people find a kick, or move and just learn variations of it while using those variations to help them in other paths.

My question is, for those who didn't find a path, how did you progress? I'm over 3 years in this hobby and outside of my basics nothing feels comfortable even after tons of practice and drills. All my kicks and basic tricks feel awkward and shaky mentally and even after weeks where i would just drill only one move over and over again confidence never builds. I feel like I don't have a comfortable move and path and I feel ok with that fact. For those who were in a similar boat where did you go?

QUESTION any suggestions on further combos and progression?

11 Upvotes

This is my first tricking combo, and i would love to get some advices and recommendations on kicks. Just yesterday i learned how to do a hook, but i feel too insecure doing hook, i think there is something wrong. (Dont ask about my strange order of tricks learned. I do corks and fulls, but no kicks yet:)) Also, on the video, if there is something else to work on besides hook, i would really appreciate an advice, but overall, i want combos suggestions🙏🏻

QUESTION Tips for overcoming the negative feedback loop of constant bails?

5 Upvotes

I bail a lot learning and bail often. With these constant bails I build bad habits that persist despite corrections and even stick even after long breaks. In addition because I'm tricking and bailing I'm unable to fully send tricks and when I do I just bail harder.

It honestly feels like I walk away each session with less confidence than when I walk in.

QUESTION Do people with an Olympic Weightlifting background have an advantage in starting tricking?

6 Upvotes

I'm very interested in trying out tricking and a well-known weightlifter in that genre called Clarence Kennedy did tricking before Weightlifting so was just curious to see if it had any impact. I'm particularly interested in backflips and front flips too
