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
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.
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 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. =))
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
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.
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 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?
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.
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! =)
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 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?
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
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.
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.
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. ^__^
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
I think no.. the flips that is similar to raiz is envergado and sideswipe, the only difference in this three is the landing leg... and I also think that raiz is the easiest of the three...
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.
BRAND NEW!! FRESH!!! RAIZ TUTORIAL!!!!!

My friend and I started learning to do a raiz yesterday and suddenly, you make a new tutorial :D
thanks for the tips
Never really thought about the Raiz like that. This made comprehension so much easier! Thanks a lot :D
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
Thank you so much. The best tutorial for raiz. I can learn it in 2 days. So amazing !
Learning the raiz at the moment! =D Thanks for the updated tutorial!
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'.
love these videos. Learning so much. thank you.
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 ^^
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.
This is the very tutorial I've been waiting for for soo long! :D
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?
That depends on the individual. Some people prefer raiz, others prefer touchdown, you just gotta find out which one YOU like best.
The best tutorials I've seen!
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. =))
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

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.
thanks a lot! btw if you mirrored the slow mo clips of your raiz wouldnt it look like the opposite leg?
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.
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 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.
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.

Thank you I will drill it!!!
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"?

A split kick? like a V-Kick?
I like the new tutorials format
Kyle do you do any sport before parkour & freeruning ? :) big respect ... Sorry my englis is bad
best tricking tutorials on youtube,keep it up!
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.
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?
yesssssss i've been waiting for an update on this :D!! Thanks!
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
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.
nice tutorial Kyle, keep doing these......awesome
Defiantly helped. Thanks a lot man~!
it looks so damn easy :o this is seriously the most confusing trick for everybody to learn I think
Thanks for the tutorial man
thx helped so much, youre great at what you do!

you're a legend ! your videos are well helpful
Do I need to jump high for this move or its all in the kick/whip of the legs?
I made an envergado tutorial which may help you learnt he difference.
Very helpful! Thank you very much!
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!
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.
Never was a gymnast, but I did start in martial arts... but not TKD.
So helpful. Thanks, man. Appreciate it.
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
Dude, the link to tornado kick leads to the pop 360. Awsome tutorial material by the way : =)
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.
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.
Your tutorials are amazing Epic! I'll post a video respond soon on my progression on this trick ! :)
Witch Martial art did you train and for how long? :)
Hey kyle! So what's the difference between this and a sideswipe? Is it more rotations?
TUTORIAL 2 in 1 - 540 Kick & Sideswipe
Thanks man! This helped me slot! My raiz's got better thanks to you :)
In the slowmoes I see what you mean about taking the raiz into a cork. I can just imagine how good that might feel.
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!
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
Thank you very much, I nailed it on my first try :)
I'm going to be honest with you, it's a great deal of both.
Yeah, you should do that. I'm lefthanded so a twist the other way. But this tut is great! :DD
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.
GREAT VIDEO EPIC!
Hey there ✋
Every time i try a raiz my back hurts, is there something am missing or doing wrong? Pls help
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?
Got it. Your tutorials are awesome, man. Keep it up. ^_^
Could you do a tutorial on the split kick, please? I really need help with that.
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 ?
Im just starting out with this. Is there some kind of trick to learn faster or do you just have to train, train, train?
sorry bro, training is the only way
OH WAIT, start off with tornado kick
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!
Bout time you made one!! Hehe thank you!!
ahhh thank you so much kyle! you truely are EPIC! :D thanks for making this =)) really awesome!
i have a clip of me doing a raiz on my instagram but now that i see yours mine looks more like a btwist is there any way i can send you the clip?
Sure! You can send it to me via Instagram Direct @EpicGram
Should I learn a 540 Kick before the Raiz or after?
I think no.. the flips that is similar to raiz is envergado and sideswipe, the only difference in this three is the landing leg... and I also think that raiz is the easiest of the three...
+Elvin Marin thanks they are all similar so
try mastering the touchdown raiz first instead...
Awesome tutorial :)
which is the martial arts you started with
epic, which one is easier, normal raiz, or the touchdown raiz?
great vid as always !: D
Thank you ;), gonna work with that today.
Could this be considered a flip?
Nice tutorial, but can you make a tutorial for cartwheels or handstands?
When I get back from my injury, I'll work hard to get tis trick!! :)
good tutorial, thanks man
How long did it take YOU to learn this?
please keep making more tutorials.
Envergado is "raiz dleg" aka inverted parafuso, your both feet should land at the same time. In raiz, well.. They don't.
sooooo is it kind of like a b twist with a step and pop instead of momentum steps???
When i do my td raiz i land with the chest low, how can i correct that?
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'm not use to turning my body, so I can't even do a regular raiz, any help please?
Thank you Kyle! :)
Very helpful. Thankss
great tutorial
kyle, mirrored slow mo's would be really helpful
I LOOOVE THIS MOVE !!!
