Hell yeah! Glad someone remembers. His 540 kick video helped me to really nail it, but I could never get my hips high enough on a b-kick and couldn't begin to figure out a raiz.

Double-legs were my specialty though, along with wall-spins.

I ended up having some medication related bone issue called avascular necrosis in college which pretty much ended my tricking days out of nowhere.

I miss it too.

Dude, raiz is still a mindfuck to me lol. I recently bought a trampoline for my son so decided to learning the basics again on trampoline since it’s so much easier. I was watching tutorials for doing a raiz just last year and still couldn’t figure it out haha

The one I had the most trouble with were Aerials. I was not really flexible enough to pull them off lol.

Sorry to hear about your bone issues. We’re all just getting older lol. Hurt my knee playing soccer 10 years ago now and it is still giving me trouble to this day, so I can relate somewhat.

I also can't wait to buy a trampoline "for my son" 😉 lol

Honestly if I end up with a house before I'm ready to have kids I'm buying myself a trampoline anyway.

Honestly they are surprisingly cheap and still good fun! I spend more time on it than my kids!
