Talkin' Tricks

Frank and Jason are joined by their first guest Jeremy Price. The boys take a step away from trick theory to discuss what makes a trick perfect and whether that concept even exists. The conversation goes on many tangents; topics discussed include social pressures, aesthetics, utility of a trick, existentialism, the concept of awesomeness, pragmatism, and who would win in a battle between Plato and Aristotle. If you love philosophy and tricking, this is absolutely the episode for you!

Jason and Frank explore the intricacies of landing stances which are more complicated than they may seem at first! Landing stance is always related to direction of momentum and where your foot is with respect to DOM determines what stance you are landing in. There are four single leg landing stances that each take up 90 degrees of rotation, which accounts for a full circle relative to DOM. The four stances and their respective rotations for left twisters are listed below:

• Hyper: Right leg facing directly away from DOM up until 90 degrees short of facing DOM
• Mega: Left leg facing 90 degrees short of DOM up until aligned with DOM
• Semi/Ultra: Right leg aligned with DOM up until 90 degrees past DOM
• Complete: Left leg 90 degrees past DOM up until facing directly away from DOM

Beyond this, fake landing stances and other more nuanced topics are discussed!
