Yonatan Dveer Many people don't recognize it as a sport, and certainly the NCAA doesn't, my point in saying so was to highlight that as a discipline it was never intended to be competitive. A good comparable example is breakdancing, which clearly began as a purely creative and artistic form of movement, and only awhile after it's inception began to harbor a culture of a competitive nature. So even though competitions are held within disciplines like breakdance and tricking, the majority of participants and onlookers would not consider them sports, mainly due to their being mostly artistic and creative at their core, but also because they are completely subjective in judgement for competition, (no point system, etc.) Which is a trait almost never seen in widely spread competitive sports.
Great video but, i'm sorry, that makes no sense. Especially the "the majority of participants and onlookers would not consider them sports", wtf i've never come across a tricker who didn't consider tricking as a sport. Besides, here's the Oxford dictionary's definition of a sport : "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Tricking seems to meet every point of this definition. The fact that it isn't widely mediatized or that it does not know any official structure has absolutely no influence on the nature of a sport.
MehZxhere The vast majority I've talked to do not consider it a sport. I think our difference lies in how we define a sport. You're using a more literally and direct definition, but I'm using more of a culturally and socially defined meaning. The discrepancy lies in the activity being a sport by definition vs. Society actually considering it a sport rather than a discipline or otherwise. Take my breakdancing example. It fits the definition of sport that you provided, but the community does not consider it such, as does society. Same thing with freerunning. It's most widely seen as an indivually fulfilling athletic paradigm, not as a competitive sport. So while something may be literally defined as a sport, societaly and culturally it might not be defined it as such
IT DOES NOT MATTAR TRICKING DIDNT BECOME WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF CAPOEIRA THEY JUST THINK THAT THE WAY THEY TEACH CAPOEIRA ATHLETES IS WRONG IN TERMS OF FLIPPING

Capoeira isn't tricking
Omg, not a sport? Before you post something like that, you better be sure about it! Anyways, you are wrong about that.
Wendel Aguilera I would have you refer to my response to the comment below yours
This is the flipping part of Capoeira!
King Eric only about 15% of tricking is actually capoeira
Um I highy doubt that.
