How to to Refine Your Coin Drops
Workshop - Aaron Van Eijck
Coin drops are a common movement used in break dancing, but has become more frequent in tricking in recent years. It is a classic “ground” move, that requires controlled dropping to the athlete’s upper back while rotating in a circular motion, then, using that momentum to twist to the other side, and push up to their feet. Learning coin drops adds a unique break dancing flair to all tricker’s skillsets.
Develop Your Punching Skills
Workshop - Byron Delamont
Punching skills are used frequently in gymnastics and tumbling, as well as power tricking. These techniques require athletes to build momentum that leads them to taking off both feet aggressively from the ground (which is called a “punch jump”). Understanding how to incorporate “punching” not only helps trickers with power twisting and flips, but helps achieving even high-level kicks requiring more height.
Shuriken-Cutter a.k.a The Dragon Kick
Workshop - Damon Exarhos
Shuriken-Cutter has become extremely popular this year, due to the new Karate Kid film, where it has been renamed “The Dragon Kick”. While it is a high-level skill that incorporates the three main aspects of tricking (kicks, flips, twists), there are many ways to navigate learning this incredible power skill. As one of the most popular tricking skills, it can help you deliver a great finisher to every combo.
