I'm honestly not a big fan of the helix, Just doesn't fit my Style.

What about you guys? Any certain tricks you're not a fan of?

Most aerials which involve throwing behind your back, neck, head. I mean I think they look cool when others do them but I've just never really felt the urge or inclination to try. I much prefer tricky finger flicking stuff..... much safer. :lol:

Cherry picker or hellbent style tricks... Can't seem to get them down smooth everytime. I'll get it once in a while but it's never consistently smooth, hates it

Well while we're on this topic, a lot of you guys are listing what you don't do well, but does that mean
you don't like the trick or you just don't like doing the trick?

Personally I never could understand the Murnax Ladder, I suck at it as well. But I love the way it looks.
I suck at helix style aerials, but love the trick.

I'm not a huge fan of under the leg stuff, but oddly enough I do it in a good amount of my routines...
It looks alright, just sometimes if not pulled off smooth it can look like you're trying way too hard.

Re: Is There Any Tricks you are not a big fan of?

Aerials, in all shapes and sizes, never interested me enough to risk learning how to do them. I don't like watching them and I don't care to learn how to do them.

I'm quite content with scissoring and twirling tricks, as overrated/common as they may be. Silent Jay is now my nemesis.

This is true. If I had to choose a trick I didn't like coz I just don't like the way it looks... Couldn't tell yah, can't think of any that I just dont like. Every trick,if done smoothly, looks good. Just don't like seeing videos of guys tryin tricks that they haven't mastered yet and put it in a challenge. We've all done it. But a easier trick done smooth looks way better than a harder trick done halfassed.

As for what I'm not good at, chery picker or hellbent. I think that like the 4th or 5th trick I've ever learned. Still can't get it everytime and I always move my hand way too much. But when I see it done by someone else, it looks so good in a rollover routine. Just jealous that I can't do it, like SJ can't scissor :twisted: lolz

Re: Is There Any Tricks you are not a big fan of?

Well the only trick I can think of that I just don't like the look of, no matter how smoothly it is pulled off is the under the leg aerial.

To me it just looks cheesey and awkward. IMO there is nothing cool about it at all and I don't know why people do it.

One of my favourite vids is Matnotahs 'Transfers' from one the FATOC challenge. I've got it saved and have watched it quite a few times. Fuck'n epic if you haven't seen it...... but he does an under the leg aerial and IMHO it's the only let down in the vid.

Re: Is There Any Tricks you are not a big fan of?

i just want to put this out because it was mentioned i dont dislike murnax because i have trouble with it, and i do..., i dislike it because it doesnt feel right when i do it. its just a move that isnt my style, dont get me wrong i thinks it a beautiful and challenging trick... when someone else does it. again though it just doesnt fit in with "MY" style. have fun you guys who it does fit though i do enjoy seeing it
