"A tuck doesn't require your knees to touch your chest, because they can come to your shoulders (resulting a much tighter tuck), and because tucking isn't an on/off type of thing. There are different degrees of tuckedness. The hands are completely uninvolved."
You basically just said a complete layout can be considered a tuck. Knees come to your chest, or shoulders. I guess you don't really need your hands for a tuck, true, but what that guy did with his moonkick, is far from tucking. Especially if it should be a proper tuck.
Haha, I didn't say I knew more about chambering than either of you. But time has nothing to do with anything. You can study a Biology text book for years and still not know what Mitosis actually is. That's outside the point though. I know you both LOVE to sound like you know everything about everything, but trying to sound smart to me is like trying to trick with your wrist tied to your ankle.
To take a direct quote from an old friend, "Tricking... Isn't like you might think. It's not about the adrenaline rush, and it's not about being the best of all your friends. It's about learning about yourself. When you trick... Forget about your strength and your old physical abilities. It's all in the head. When your legs hit the ground, it doesn't matter how strong they are. 30% is strength, 20% is hard-earned talent, and 50% is mental capacity. It's only impossible because you've been told it is, and we work to break that wall down little by little." He told me that when I first started, and I live by it everyday. "It's only impossible because you've been told it is."
Your physique has nothing to do with what you can do. You're right, my problem is mental, but so is yours. :P Mentally, you are told btwists are pre req's to corks. Mentally, I believe that corks are easier, because of how I am built and how I've learned to move. A front flip isn't a prerequisite to a back flip, even though most people learn it first. :P
Instead of coming up with a clever little comeback to everything I just said, how about we get back on topic? Because I can assure you, this argument doesn't help you whatsoever, and it's not helping me get my corks down much either. I can promise you that.
yea, it seems like most people can get a backtuck and not get anything else for a while. ohwell though.
yea, i should be going for my third degree blackbelt this year but i had a few setbacks. which is annoying but ohwell.
and this thred got way off subject....
