Tricking - Alex Omidvar

  • Andrew Whitton

Sometimes sports and athletes just take your breath away. Alex Omidvar is a leading athlete in the Tricking community. He regularly competes around the world against other Trickers showcasing his and their explosive sport. What is Tricking? It is an expression of martial arts and gymnastics with roots in break dance and hip hop culture. Each trick is series of flips, kicks and spectacular tumbles. The elegance of control, power and speed is something to behold. Battles between competitors bring out the best in each trick where their imagination and physical control are their only limits. I found myself intoxicated in their skill and will to take their bodies to their absolute limit and then push further.
