About stormtricks , the site
This website was created in February 2008 by myself and help from others. I'd like to thank Lars & Lei for the logo design, Marco from kirupa.nl for helping me fix some bugs, and Justin from trickingworld.com for hosting my videos.
About stormtricks , the people
Everyone in the videos is forever a part of stormtricks! Some backstory if you are interested: originally, I started tricking in 2004 with my friend Lei. Marco soon joined our ranks, and we created our first sampler (''Enter teh Frog'') with some other friends. Late 2005, a lot of other people joined our first gym sessions - one among them being Furiku. In 2006 and 2007, this was basically our ''team''! Late 2007 Marco moved, and Skallarkald joined us for our first viking themed video (''Astrum''). As of 2010, I'm the only one who still frequently tricks.

Here's a picture page to see who is who! :) MEET THE VIKINGS!
About vikings, what the hell?

Vikings were basically the coolest people ever. Seriously though: the ''viking theme'' idea you can see in some of our videos originated from music and a fun idea. Being into viking themed metal, one day my friends and I thought: ''wouldn't it be fun if we went tricking with warpaint on and used viking metal for a sampler?''. The obvious reaction: HELL YES. The rest is now history :)

About tricking
Tricking is a combination of kicks, flips and twists - with moves originating mainly from martial arts and gymnastics. For more information, check out www.trickstutorials.com.
