For me a trick is a trick when it existst of two touches and in between going around the ball in any way. A crossover or reverse cross counts as one of the touches. Some examples:
atw: touch-around-touch
latw: touch- twice around- touch
tatw: touch- around the ball- touch with crossover motion
taatw: touch with reverse cross- around with other foot- crossover motion touch
palle trick: touch-around with both feet - touch with cross motion
I hope you understand what i mean with this. Because of my rule in bold, some things that are called tricks aren't actually tricks and some things called combo's are actually tricks:
Beck atw is the most famous example because it's actually three touches:
touch- around the ball- reverse cross touch- around the ball- crossover touch
But things like cross-atw nt and tb-htw nt are actually tricks:
cross touch-around the ball other foot - touch
tb touch- around the ball same foot - touch
Please dont comment right after you've read this, just think about it and then post. I dont want reactions like: that's stupid, but i want arguements :cheers:
Yeah, I fully agree with this post! And as for combos like co-atw nt.. When you add cross AFTER any trick (for example: ahmatw-cross nt), all ppl say that it`s a new trick.. So, why ppl don`t say the same when you add cross BEFORE any trick (cross-ahmatw nt is touch with cross motion-around with other foot-around with the same foot-touch, for ex) ?? In my point of view, all combos like cross-amatw nt, revers cross-matw nt etc are actually tricks.. :lol:
