most photogenic trick
« on: February 28, 2008, 09:07:47 AM »
Hey again all,
right i was wondering what everone thought the most photogenic bocking trick was, theres some tricks that just photograph well imo say the double spring grab for example, every picture ive seem of that move looks class, but there must be better...

yeah thats true carl, thats a sick move.
managed to pull one at the last meet and was buzzing about it, it got overshadowed by the flips then.
at the same meet i also realised you have to be good to do a better split kick than becky

I think most of the tricks look good as photos!

I like how good star jumps look, however good the bocker is at them - [EPB Wall of Stars]

@Nero - they are easier than pikes!

@Carma - dont give up, just start small and work on getting them better every time you go out - i only learnt by going out practicing every night for a month! and its taken me 6months to get back some of the stuff i used to do, and straddles i still cant get yet!!

well star jump do look good, but it looks even better when you pull back your arms and legs and push your body forward. i call it the extreme star jump.

I think i did it in my reindeer out fit let me look.

sorry cant find it.

but now i look though my pictures the 'kick out' looks good when done right. here a pick of me in my reindeer out fit doing one
