My favorite trick is any of the variations of the split kick.

I like doing osc, back grab, toe grab, and the split kick clap (anyone have another name for that? )


I'm currently working on my checking for gum.

XSpin, 360 split kick, has been my signature trick almost since I started bocking, though i love a good tweaked out spring grab.

Once I learned to flip I basically stopped learning new tricks, cause while they're frequently more technically challenging, they can't match the rush of a flip.

I still need to learn to flip. I've been bocking to long to not get that down. :P

I've been using all my time practicing new tricks. That I haven't really tried to get flipping down.

I need to make it my goal this summer.

Yup mainly this lol There are so many little stones round where I live that it's murder trying not to stand on them :D

I'm planning on hiring out a community hall (with crash mats!) for a couple of hours and trying to learn to bounce and possibly have an attempt at some flips (as seen in the Welsh bockers vid).
