    Yep, little late this year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Give me a list of a max of 10 tricks to put into a poll here and we'll pick a Trick of the Year like we did for 2017. Here's that thread.


    Here's the current list:
    Spike taps
    Lyndy hops
    Gooncircle
    Claps
    Hand stalls
    Taps
    Finger lighthouses
    Penguin grip swaps
    Drone Taps


    We had a tie so go here for the runoff.

    The clapping thing started in 2019 right?

    tRicK'(n.) A broad term for describing women who are either teases, hoes, or one of the above pretending to be the other. Calling a woman a trick shows you are not impressed/convinced by their shit

    If we go by this urban dictionary definition of a trick then my vote goes to Your Mom.

    Sol shared a few of Miguel De La Torre's clapping tricks a bit ago and I feel like it took off for a minute there. Here's an examples:



    Looking back, this was all in January and I think 28 tricks kind of fueled it since this is a maybe less-explored area for a lot of players.

    Jeez, taps are still a thing? That's so old school. j/k :D

    Also are you suggesting that taps and spike taps should be listed differently?

    yeah I am. They are pretty separate, I mean spike taps are a lot more technical and harder to do multiple of. And yeah, taps are old, but the record was beat again, so I thought I might include it.

    Drone Taps?

    Saw Claire from Analog do them first then have seen multiple people on them since. Dave Mateo did a line of drone taps in his new ProMod Edit..

    Where you spin the Ken and pull it up while it spins horizontally and give it taps underneath it o keep raising it

    String tricks/tie-ups like @shonuff_chris style, example- Eiffel Tower. I don’t know the best way to categorize that technical string style, but it’s popping up all over IG.
