Pulling a con
Tricking is a form of acrobatic movement combining martial arts kicks, flips, and twists into fluid sequences.
It emerged from taekwondo and gymnastics in the 1990s, spreading through internet videos.
Practitioners called trickers perform on flat ground without equipment: He's been tricking for years and can land a double cork.
The community emphasizes creativity and personal style over competition.
