Shameless plug for BMW and Peraves Monotracer: future sponsors of the next generation of tricking. Unfortunately, the two companies aren't privy to this, but with modern advances in online social networks, search engine optimization, and companies like StumbleUpon, who knows, maybe BMW and/or Monotracer will find this blog and say, "Hey, let's sponsor those guys doing all the flips and stuff and give 'em some of our cabin-bikes."
Commercial idea: So, I'm doing the regular flip-over-cars-thing and then a guy pulls up with a cabin-bike. I tell him I'll flip over it. I run up, drive off, and you see the picture above. I do in fact flip, but just with my finger. The end.
Part of tricking, at least Tricking 2.0, is always keeping it sexy. This vehicle (the Peraves Monotracer "Cabin bike" powered by a BMW engine) is sexy. When's the last time you checked out the back of a machine like that?

A Glitch in the Tricking Matrix: The Soundtrack to the Sport
When I first heard Glitch Hop, I closed my eyes and there I was. I was running through the streets of New York City, flipping over taxis, corkng on the sidewalk, doing wall flips every chance I got, breakdancing into flips in the middle of the street, popping out backside 9s, C720s, random tornado kicks, and raizing to random cork variations. Then, the music stopped. I opened my eyes, and I was back at my computer in my small apartment in Brooklyn.
It was destiny. I was using StumbleUpon and randomly surfing the web, going from random site to random site, when I stumbled onto http://www.last.fm/music/edIT.
It was love at first site (pun intended).
Here's how I see it: Skateboarding started with this punkish music feel. Breakdancing with hip-hop. Tricking needs a soundtrack.
Tricking's a hybrid sport, glitch hop is a musical hybrid.
Let's get married, Glitch Hop.
Team SF & Tricking 2.0=Glitch Hop.
