Dude! I've never really been into tricking at all because I thought it looked too hard. But i've watched some of your tutorials now and started to learn some of the simple moves like tornado, b-kick and hook. These videos are very inspiring so I might be able to progress into b-twist, 540 and raiz soon! At least I'll give it a try! Thanks for sharing your videos! Inspiring work :)
Thanks epic for these videos they have been helping a lot for my dream to trick and i just want to tell you i appreciate it a ton because without you i would have never learned to trick thank you so much keep the videos coming and we all love you Keep tricking Lol Keep Calm and Trick On
I thought about that, but I said to myself... "I think I'm going to make everyone buy mirrors so that they'll have to watch the tutorial in the mirror." =PPP I may do that for future tutorials, but no one has really suggested it, so if folks wanna see mirrored slowmos for opposite sides then I suggest they let me know via reply to this comment. =))
Best way to get height is by jumping higher. I have an Epic FAQ video on how to get higher as well, I get some tips in that video that you might enjoy.
Pay attention to how you're taking off, and look at your body, when you watch me to my raiz int his tutorial during the slow motions look at my body placement, try to mimic my movements and practice them until they flow and feel comfortable, and just control how you take off.
Just to clarify, that wasn't directed at you personally, your question just triggered a vent session that I would like some feedback on. So don't take any of what I said to heart and if it offended you I apologize for it wasn't my intention, but I just feel like the communities are starting to grow more co-dependent.
to really get the hang of alot, start with alot of jump tucks, jump and bring your knees into your chest, dont bring your chest down, jump straight up, bring your knees up, then when you think you get the hang of it and enough air, after you tuck, extend your leg out into the kick
Thank you kyle :) I wish I could share this video but none of my friends tricking :( I had one friend that used to tricking with me but he got back to Canada so now Im tricking alone with your tutorials :D
i was never able to do a raiz and now i thought of a different way of thinking of it that got my mindset to understand it. i thought of it like a half barrell roll/butterfly twist! think about it and the setup, its the same!
I already did man... you need to stay updated and check my tutorials playlists before asking, or stay subscribed and keep tabs on my vids as they come by, or heck even follow me on facebook because I share random tutorials on there for people who didn't know I had a tut for it. ^__^
There are different techniques for raiz but I'ld recommend keeping your toes pointed in the direction you're travelling and kicking your heel up like when doing a compasso (td hook). I think gumbi is necessary prerequisite because "ideal" raiz is a gumbi without hands just like cartwheel is for an aerial. I don't think that good raiz has to be absolutely inverted but yours was a little horizontalish. It was still a raiz tho. Search for "Crazy Asian raiz" for the most nastiest lookin' raiz ever!
Yeah a V-Kick, I could do a tutorial on that bit I don't need one... it's a really easy trick bud. Just jump, keep your legs straight and swing/lift your legs hard and fast.
hey epic ive been wanting to learn how to do a screwdriver vault but the only video on them that i can find is a sketchy tutorial by trickset from a few years back. think you could make your own tutorial for it some time with some good progressions?
I was trying to learn my tornado and i thought leaning back will make it look cooler i did it and everyone in the gym stared at me and said did you just Raiz and i said whats that? and now i cant do it (sorry for long comment)
thanks for this tutorial, it's a huge help. One question, am i supposed to be able to spot the ground the entire time, or should i just try to spot it when i can?
HEY KYLE! after mastering my tornado-kick do you think the raiz is the next step or is there an easier trick to learn before i start training the raiz?
saw your earlier version, raiz tutorial in the field with longer hair I think LOL practiced but noticed doesn't look as nice cuz I have shorter legs LOLL
Hey Epic! I have a question though, if you don't mind me asking. How do I swingthrough from a raiz to let's say a "cheat gainer"? I already have the raiz down but I can't seem to swingthrough to another trick and it's kinda frustrating me because I end up planting the trailing leg instead. Is it because I'm not standing up out of the trick enough or do I just need to drill it more? Or are there tips to fix this?
Hey kyle this kinda unrelated to the video, but i was wondering if you had any tips to get more height when doing basic kicks and tricks. When I do my kicks I feel like I don't that far off the ground.
Hi Kyle,, i found your tutorials very usefull... i practice Taekwondo and i'm interested in use this kinda stuns and tricks for exhibitions and (to be honest) show off a little bit.. haha question,, i got a good jump but not a good streaching,, i'm also kinda short (1,60m - 5"4') whats the highest kick you can performe useing the "Raiz" to lift off... Well,, thank you for the tutorials and i hope to could UpLoad a nice video usein this.. See ya
Hey there! I've been watching your tutorials for a while, and I just started working on this particular skill a few days ago. All I can do right now is this awkward little turn-hop, but I have no idea how to progress from that. Is it as simple as just doing it over and over again until you've eventually got it, or is there something I'm missing? Can you or anyone else reading this help me out? P.S. Are there any drills, exercises, etc, that you know of to help work up to this?
The tutorial was very helpful!! thanks I really appreciate it, but how do I swing through the raiz? Im always landing with both feet and its hard for me to s/t it?
Start by landing only on one leg. Then progress to land on one leg and swing the other. Make sure your chest is UP when you land, and just drill them! When it clicks and you feel the control and ease, follow through! =)
So I'm not sure I've seen anything on this but, is there a move like a raiz but landing on the second leg? I've been working that and I don't know a name for it.
Hey, Kyle. I am starting to learn my Raiz but, right after I practice the move, my hand and wrist are in pain. What I'm wondering is whether or not you know what's happening.
Try to land up tall, and focus on the momentum you're putting into your swing. The circle should be completed just before gravity pulls you down. But the leg that lands first has to land strong enough to stand back up as your second leg comes with with control and not loose & floppy. But make sure that your chest & shoulders are above your landing foot, and not leaning forward when you land.

That depends on the individual. Some people prefer raiz, others prefer touchdown, you just gotta find out which one YOU like best.
Thanks again for your videos,I'm a beginer and your videos help me a lot to understand tricks and keep me motivated, keep doing it ^^

The best tutorials I've seen!
Thank you so much. The best tutorial for raiz. I can learn it in 2 days. So amazing !
love these videos. Learning so much. thank you.
Is it possible to do it having average flexibility?
Great question! It is, but it's definitely easier with more flexibility, you can flow a little easier and really make it pretty lookin'.
This is the very tutorial I've been waiting for for soo long! :D
best tricking tutorials on youtube,keep it up!
Thank you kyle :) I wish I could share this video but none of my friends tricking :( I had one friend that used to tricking with me but he got back to Canada so now Im tricking alone with your tutorials :D
Split kick. You know, like a double jumping kick but where you split your legs into a straddle in the air. It's used in a lot of creative forms.
i was never able to do a raiz and now i thought of a different way of thinking of it that got my mindset to understand it. i thought of it like a half barrell roll/butterfly twist! think about it and the setup, its the same!
In the slowmoes I see what you mean about taking the raiz into a cork. I can just imagine how good that might feel.
it looks so damn easy :o this is seriously the most confusing trick for everybody to learn I think
Thanks for the tutorial man
nice tutorial Kyle, keep doing these......awesome
i have been able to do this for years, but I travel a lot... so I hope this helps me get more power into my corks and other combos.
I like the new tutorials format
yesssssss i've been waiting for an update on this :D!! Thanks!
I already did man... you need to stay updated and check my tutorials playlists before asking, or stay subscribed and keep tabs on my vids as they come by, or heck even follow me on facebook because I share random tutorials on there for people who didn't know I had a tut for it. ^__^

Your tutorials are amazing Epic! I'll post a video respond soon on my progression on this trick ! :)
Yeah a V-Kick, I could do a tutorial on that bit I don't need one... it's a really easy trick bud. Just jump, keep your legs straight and swing/lift your legs hard and fast.
Dude, the link to tornado kick leads to the pop 360. Awsome tutorial material by the way : =)
thx helped so much, youre great at what you do!
Thank you! Nice tutorial! :D
you're a legend ! your videos are well helpful
Thanks man! This helped me slot! My raiz's got better thanks to you :)
So helpful. Thanks, man. Appreciate it.
Defiantly helped. Thanks a lot man~!
Yeah, you should do that. I'm lefthanded so a twist the other way. But this tut is great! :DD
Very helpful! Thank you very much!
I made an envergado tutorial which may help you learnt he difference.
Never was a gymnast, but I did start in martial arts... but not TKD.
Got it. Your tutorials are awesome, man. Keep it up. ^_^
ahhh thank you so much kyle! you truely are EPIC! :D thanks for making this =)) really awesome!
yea i had this problem with my sideflip i just tucked but since this is a raiz try space your legs and keep them straighter
A split kick? like a V-Kick?
hey epic ive been wanting to learn how to do a screwdriver vault but the only video on them that i can find is a sketchy tutorial by trickset from a few years back. think you could make your own tutorial for it some time with some good progressions?
Envergado is "raiz dleg" aka inverted parafuso, your both feet should land at the same time. In raiz, well.. They don't.
Bout time you made one!! Hehe thank you!!
GREAT VIDEO EPIC!
I was trying to learn my tornado and i thought leaning back will make it look cooler i did it and everyone in the gym stared at me and said did you just Raiz and i said whats that? and now i cant do it (sorry for long comment)
thanks for this tutorial, it's a huge help. One question, am i supposed to be able to spot the ground the entire time, or should i just try to spot it when i can?
Spot when you can always, but sometimes there's the occasional blur of WHERE THE HELL AM I for a split second.
Kyle what tips do you have on landing Raiz, Btwist and corks on one foot to set up for combos? I find it hard not to land with both feet planted
thanks a lot! btw if you mirrored the slow mo clips of your raiz wouldnt it look like the opposite leg?
Thank you very much, I nailed it on my first try :)
Thank you ;), gonna work with that today.
Kyle do you do any sport before parkour & freeruning ? :) big respect ... Sorry my englis is bad
HEY KYLE! after mastering my tornado-kick do you think the raiz is the next step or is there an easier trick to learn before i start training the raiz?
I'm going to be honest with you, it's a great deal of both.
saw your earlier version, raiz tutorial in the field with longer hair I think LOL practiced but noticed doesn't look as nice cuz I have shorter legs LOLL
Do I need to jump high for this move or its all in the kick/whip of the legs?
Hey Epic! I have a question though, if you don't mind me asking. How do I swingthrough from a raiz to let's say a "cheat gainer"? I already have the raiz down but I can't seem to swingthrough to another trick and it's kinda frustrating me because I end up planting the trailing leg instead.

great vid as always !: D

Well,, thank you for the tutorials and i hope to could UpLoad a nice video usein this.. See ya
The height of your kick will always depend on your flexbility. If you want a higher kick, practice more flexibility and in time it will come.
Could you do a tutorial on the split kick, please? I really need help with that.
Awesome tutorial :)

When I get back from my injury, I'll work hard to get tis trick!! :)
kyle, mirrored slow mo's would be really helpful
great tutorial
Thank you!!
please keep making more tutorials.
Nice tutorial, but can you make a tutorial for cartwheels or handstands?
The tutorial was very helpful!! thanks I really appreciate it, but how do I swing through the raiz? Im always landing with both feet and its hard for me to s/t it?
Start by landing only on one leg. Then progress to land on one leg and swing the other. Make sure your chest is UP when you land, and just drill them! When it clicks and you feel the control and ease, follow through! =)
Thank you I will drill it!!!
I LOOOVE THIS MOVE !!!
Very helpful. Thankss
good tutorial, thanks man
I hope you are gonna answer my question... Nice vid though.. Is the tornado kick the step before the raiz?
Yes! Absolutely, just work on getting more and more OPEN with your chest and hips during your tornado and start trailing your legs.
So I'm not sure I've seen anything on this but, is there a move like a raiz but landing on the second leg? I've been working that and I don't know a name for it.

Thank you Kyle! :)
sooooo is it kind of like a b twist with a step and pop instead of momentum steps???
Hey, Kyle. I am starting to learn my Raiz but, right after I practice the move, my hand and wrist are in pain. What I'm wondering is whether or not you know what's happening.
When ever I do a raiz my kicking leg slams on the ground and it doesn't look right.
Try to land up tall, and focus on the momentum you're putting into your swing. The circle should be completed just before gravity pulls you down. But the leg that lands first has to land strong enough to stand back up as your second leg comes with with control and not loose & floppy. But make sure that your chest & shoulders are above your landing foot, and not leaning forward when you land.
***** Thanks I will work on it
***** thank you finally got it
I want to learn to do it as far away as i can jump because i want to use it for martial arts tournaments, so... Covering distance is good
Hello, might you do a video for to learn windmil and American?
I currently do not have control over my windmill, so I would not recommend I do a tutorial for it. Sorry! But there are other tutorials out there!
yup , man i would love that because , it's kinda confusing for me , because i work on the opposit side of yours !
You are a nice guy!
Feel like i'm pulling my groin a lot, even after stretching. i need to keep my chest up more as well, followed by more stretching lol
thanks, good job!
Witch Martial art did you train and for how long? :)
GoPro Hero3 Black
Will a raiz be harder to learn if my cartweel is the other way around ?
has anyone had difficulty with this trick because of that ?
which is the martial arts you started with
epic, which one is easier, normal raiz, or the touchdown raiz?
I do this turning over right shoulder. Whe I try to land this, my first leg misses ground and I land in splits. WTF,mate? Any suggestions?
