    What are tricks that you closely associate with certain players? Like, if you think about someone who does this trick, you think about this player?

    One example is Wyatt Bray and his Mooncircle Fast Spikes, also known as the GoonCircle.

    Sound off below! :)

    Wyatt's was what I thought of immediately. Idk if they are his "signature" trick but bonz and those wonky lunar flips when he flips them the opposite way and somehow catches them. (Inward lunar backflip) i think is what one is called. It's in mko's trick list. Those are gnarles Barkley for sure.

    I actually associate Inward Lunar UFOs with Bonz (ever since I saw him do the trick in the KROM BDay edit as well as in the MKO Sweets life vlogs).

    Oh hell yea me too. Completely forgot about that. He's a pioneer for that awesome finesse shit. And that crazy lunar where he pops it up and then blows it back down on the cups. Looks like anti gravity, magnet, black magic type of stuff. But yes. Your trick beats mine.

    Yes!!! Nic Stodd and his stilts are iconic! Like, he was the guy who was the face of tap juggle insta craziness before it became a thing.

    Yea Mateo and uhh. I think it's kenyatta? They both have that kicking smacking and jumping with the tama and stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong with the name.

    Yeah, it's kenyatta :)) Both of them do it, but I find Kenyatta's style more aggressive while Dave's style is more dance inspired.

    Borders with fujin.aaron from Instagram! I can't really incorporate borders with a certain player other than him or Cooper. Maybe someone can give me some help on this?

    The ones that I can think of are:

    Ben Herald = inward lunar backflips
    Max Norcross = that behind the back toss thing he does
    Troy Monteguado = insta birds
    Sweets = sweets special
    Adrian & Rudy = string gods
