Hi Gentry,

What is your process for creating tricks? Inspiration? Well scoring? Random experimenting, etc.? Also, what do you think makes a trick good, in your opinion?

Thanks!

Mix variation with difficulty and it scores. Mix that with visual appeal and it’s next level. Add your own style and its magic.
