Fundamental Acrobatic Techniques Tutorial

Blocking (01:04) Blocking is a technique used to gain more height in tricks by converting horizontal momentum into vertical. This is extremely beneficial in most tricks as it gives you more air time in order to complete the trick, making the landing easier and more fluid. However there are some cases where getting the right amount of height is more beneficial than as much as you can, for example when swinging through (This is a more advanced application of the technique so don't worry about this if you are a beginner). To generate the horizontal momentum we can use a set up, for example running. Running forward generates the horizontal momentum so next we need to turn that into vertical. We do this by using the leg(s) as a block, placing them in front of your path (Usually at about 45°), bending at the knee(s) and applying force into the floor and jumping up. The 45° angle should act as a leaver and transform your horizontal momentum into vertical, allowing you to get more height than if you were jumping from a standing position. This technique is mostly used in 'punch' tricks (E.g. Front Flip) or 'pop' kicks (E.g. Pop 360) -- See the Set up section for more information on the different types of set ups. Wrapping & Tucking (04:35) Both of these use the same principle, which is to increase rotation (Wrapping creating twist rotation and tucking creating flip rotation) by generating centrifugal force. This is a very important technique used in tricking allowing quicker rotation to make nearly all tricks easier to perform. Wrapping & tucking work by bringing the body's extremities (E.g. your arms and legs) from an outstretched or open position, to a tucked or closed position. For example, when wrapping, you would start in a star-like shape, then pull your arms into your chest and bring your legs together so that you are in a thin pencil like shape; reducing the resistance of your body to rotate. As for tucking, you start in a long stretched position with your arms above you head and straight legs, then bring your knees up into a tucked position and bring your arms down (They can hold onto the knees to create a tighter tuck). The larger the decrease in the distance of your extremities from your centre of mass is, the larger the increase in rotation will be. Therefore starting with your arms as far apart as possible and bringing them in tight to your chest will have the biggest increase in rotation. For example, when performing a Tornado kick, starting with the arms out stretched as you use the 'cheat' set-up and bringing them is as you take off will increase the rotation, giving you more time to release the round kick. Pumping (08:33) Pumping is a term used for a technique that uses flexion and extension of the legs to help rotation in kicking tricks. By manipulating the position of the legs from straight to tucked positions, it can increase the speed of rotation and also can help rotate accurately. Pumping is mainly used in kicks which use the 'cheat' set-up as it uses the non-take off leg to gain height by lifting it up to the chest in a tucked position. This is then in a position to pump down as the take off leg tucks up, which helps to rotate to look away from your target. Next pumping the take off leg down as the other pumps up helps rotate back round to re-face your target. From this it can be seen that depending on your direction of rotation, one leg will only ever be pumped while facing your target and the other when not. For example, for a tricker who twists to the left, the left leg will always pump up as you turn to face your target and your right leg will always pump up as you turn to face away from your target. Abiding by this rule make throwing a kick, whether it be a crescent/hook or round, much easier.
