Tricks you have to know are normally short movements like Boingy boing or red triangle 360 suicide. Things that are easy to incorporate into combos. Things like Ladder Escape are not as necessary to learn. You would never go to a competition and do ladder escape on stage. They still look really cool though, so most people learn them. ---
