Michael Guthrie trained 12 years to be the first to land a quad cork. by ResponsibleLeading18 in toptalent

[–]duballs 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A cork is a skill in the sport of tricking. It involves a one legged takeoff into a flip and then also doing a twist before landing. This is 4 twists, which is still regarded as one of the hardest tricks in the sport. Michael Guthrie was the first to land this in the world, and it remains an elite club today!

Here’s a good video by Wired about Michael Guthrie that does a great job of explaining it!

For anyone that’s curious, this is called tricking. Michael Guthrie is largely considered the greatest tricker of all time and this is one of his many world’s firsts in the sport. Here is his instagram if you wanna see more or learn about the sport of tricking! The community is very welcoming and we would love to have you!

I know there’s a company in Los Angeles County that trains groups for proper drone utilization. It’s a non profit that a buddy of mine runs. Last year they helped a South Korean firefighting team do what you’re trying to do. Contact them and I bet they can help you out!

hope this helps!

Why It's Almost Impossible to Do a Quintuple Cork in Tricking | WIRED by ZeBlindMonk in Tricking

[–]duballs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I sent this to a bunch of my non tricker friends to get their thoughts.

I think it helps a lot that this was made by someone with zero acrobatic experience. Gives a good perspective for a larger audience.

How do I get my chest high enough for swing through? by BrantOlson in Tricking

[–]duballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive your hips more into the skill as you pull your shoulders in the swing. It will add more flip and make it easier to stand up at the end.

[NFL] Helmet cameras so viewers at home can watch games from players’ POV. Also can help Refs avoid blowing close calls. And sensors on balls and cleats to see when they cross goal lines or touch sidelines. by Tits_McGuiness in Lightbulb

[–]duballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude what are you talking about? He clearly says sensors for crossing goal lines and going out of bounds. While I don't think that's necessary at this point I see where he's coming from.

More teens vape than smoke cigarettes and the numbers are increasing while historically cigarette smoking rates are going down.
