    I second @Yourdy.. Axe is awful.

    Most stylish and best trick by far... Turntable.

    Favorite trick: Spacewalk swap spike/down this trick is so enjoyable especially after a nice flow line. theres something about this trick that caught my eye. A close second would be downspikes, I LOVE DOWNSPIKE!!!

    Least favorite: handle stall, this trick is so hard for me. I can't seem to keep it on. It might be the dama I am using though.

    My least favorite trick is bird over valley. It seems like it is just as difficult now as it was when I learned it many years ago. Does anyone else have a trick that they feel the same about?

    I don't know why but I really don't like frying pans, I think they just look weird.

    I would say handlestall. I still see it as one of those "whoa you did _____ to handlstall" tricks even though I can do handstalls. Probably because I don't practice it enough

    Birds and stalls like that... but before that it was jugles and gunslingers until i started doing them... when i learned them they became one of my favs. I think it will always be the trick i dont know. Or atleast i dont have any consistency doing it

    What is this madness!? I love orbits, they look so steezy to me. To each their own ;)

    For me, gunslingers. Simply because I've got big hands and are super difficult for me. I'm biased though.

    Swirl, tornado, etc. Other "string flow" stuff. Just not my thing, seems lame to me.

    some of you are saying slingers and I can't relate to you at all. They're my most hones/fav trick. But then again I can't do fucking hand rolls and I'm sure those are like breathing to most of you :(. I like this thread

    Axe stalls always seemed kinda "forced" to me. They are difficult and demands skill, but I don't know - I just don't like them! That's the only one really, I can get behind anything else.

    Stilts. I neglected to learn them when I started so they've always been a struggle
