This week were going to talk about an advanced style of tricking that most people want to attain at some point in the tricking career. This week were going to be discussing swingthroughs. Swingthroughs are an important part in tricking because it enables you to link moves with put your foot on the ground. It's very difficult to do and you have to make sure your flips, and tricks are up to par before trying swingthroughs or you could hurt your ankles and knees pretty badly.
Some of the best ways to start swingthroughs are to attempt them from scoots or t/d raise because they are moves that meant to set up a swingthrough. These are probably the two easiest ways to get started. Once you feel like you have a good set, start chucking gainers, and than eventually corks. I always suggest trying to practice the move until it becomes second nature, and then moving on to something harder. It's always best to have clean consistent tricks rather than huge, land them 1 in 10 tries kind of tricks.
The next step to swingthroughs is to try them out of a twisting move such as a btwist, cork, or even full twist. Once you feel comfortable swinging out of almost any move try doing more than one. Such as cork swingthrough cork, swingthrough gainer. Build yourself up until you can swingthrough continuously at ease. Swingthroughs are very difficult to get down solid, but once you learn them you feel like a beast when you're throwing down tricks.
I hope you guys can learn from this, and inspire some of you to do swingthroughs! Level up and keep on tricking. Here's a link to a video of me practicing swingthroughs! I'm still learning how to do them penis as well, so hopefully you can watch me fail and stick some tricks! Keep practicing those flips, kicks, and tricks.
