Terminology - Tricktionary
| Clearly identifying the movements you aspire to achieve is the single most important step in actually obtaining them. Understanding the subtle differences between two tricks can be the difference between a new skill and an injury. Currently tricking is primarily focused on 3 categories of "aerial tricks," or movements which require that the performer render himself airborne, which are designated as vertical (kicks,) horizontal (twists,) and inverted (flips.) In addition to these aerial tricks, there exists a multitude of variations & stylizations of each, as well as grounded setups, transitional movements, and simple tricking terms which can all fit together in some places but not in others. Tricking terminology can be a science, and the better your understanding the better your application!
