John Franks Tricking Summer Mini-Sampler 2012

Hello again, internet and tricking community!

This was originally going to be a very basic mini-sampler that showed only some easy tricks and combos for a battle on the Tricksession Forums. It quickly escalated into much, MUCH more than that. Despite the painful, concrete-like grass, I began to do some combos that I was very proud of and decided to add in some clips from a gym session with SGTF. A new Pogo song really struck my fancy, and I wanted to use it. Thus, this 2012 Summer Mini-Sampler was born.

Lately I've felt a bit stagnant with my progression - something I'm not accustomed to, and it is a bit depressing. Despite being thwarted by almost all dubs (double corks specifically - over a year of failed attempts without much improvement), I've finally managed to land some new miscellaneous things. Now I'm focusing hard on developing a crazy style that can work around my current lack of elite tricks. This sampler somewhat exemplifies that, and for that reason I am very happy with it. It has no tumbling and trampoline work (two aspects that I am very behind with), but encompasses a great deal of other aspects of tricking. The light and optimistic feel is what I have been attempting to incorporate into my training, so it found its way into the video. I really hope all of you can enjoy this.

THIS SAMPLER IS DEDICATED TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT KTG3!

Music: Pogo - Boo Bass (Monsters Inc. Remix)
