Tricking is a sport with roots in martial arts and elements of tumbling and breakdancing mixed in. The quadruple cork is tricking’s ultimate feat: an off-axis backflip combined with four rotations in the air on a separate axis. WIRED’s Robbie Gonzalez spoke with some of the best trickers in the world to find out how they do it, what makes it so hard, and whether anyone will ever manage to pull off a quint.

    It’s awesome how you try to do the things that you are trying to explain in these videos.. Helps us normies to better understand such videos

  22. Udoka Fintelmann

    October 25, 2019 at 3:23 pm

    Just saying there is a difference between a “cork screw” (which is what the video is about) and a “cork” which is where you kick of one foot into a similar 360 degree which is easier but still hard.

  23. Ethan Cheng

    October 25, 2019 at 3:25 pm

    I don’t think they highlight Guthrie’s GOAT status enough.

    October 26, 2019 at 10:50 pm

    I’ve never heard of this sport, but I feel like “tricking” isnt a very good/descriptive name of it.

  34. Rommel Abundo

    October 26, 2019 at 11:45 pm

    Is this similar to what Darth Maul used against Obi Wan?

    • JoTheFilmGuy13

      October 27, 2019 at 1:09 am

      Rommel Abundo yes actually in the movie Darth Maul does a butterfly kick which is one of the beginners movements of tricking.

    October 27, 2019 at 1:04 am

    Kenzo Shirai of japan cant start twisting off the ground or he would get a 0.3 tenth deduction for early twist and no set just to let you know wired. (Kenzo in warm ups and practice has also achieved the 4.5 twist and a scuffed quint twist) 😀

  40. Mr. OtakuBaku smellysloot

    October 27, 2019 at 1:09 am

    I know a way trickers can go for a quint cork if you set like a gymnast high and slow with a fast twist they could definitely do it soon most of the trickers are barely off the ground compared to gymnasts.

    Tricking is just using Capoeira moves. Its Brazilian Martial Arts. That just shames the channel for not giving recognition to te art of Capoeira
