Tricking Life in San Francisco

I do tricking. Tricking is a mixture of acrobatics and martial arts. Yet, no combat.

We do it exclusively for performance. Trickers love to show off their moves with beautiful views in background :3 I have my moves filmed these days.

I am one of those showy and somewhat looking arrogant…but nice dudes! San Francisco got so many sights where we can explore and appeal our tricking culture. We love kicking and flipping around on grass. When my feet touches the ground, I so much as feel San Francisco.

JK :P

As a matter of fact, my feet rest upon foreign soil. What does it feel like? It’s a great feeling, of course.

Tricking is a culture of fascinating others with unbelievable moves that we put our effort into. I am too incompetent and shy to be an independent street artist in San Francisco, but things get very excited when people give me applause and cheer-ups. Lovely folks!

It doesn’t feel like I am an outsider. I am already part of this culture called tricking. Circus school nearby golden gate park spares some time with us for open gym practice. They even provide proper lessons for acrobatics and welcome me as a student now and then. I met a couple of trickers and exchanged our contact information during open gym hour. Are we friends already?

San Francisco is the city I am living. The city of AWESOME peeps.
