Tricking is a sport with roots in martial arts and elements of tumbling and breakdancing mixed in. The quadruple cork is tricking's ultimate feat: an off-axis backflip combined with four rotations in the air on a separate axis. WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez spoke with some of the best trickers in the world to find out how they do it, what makes it so hard, and whether anyone will ever manage to pull off a quint.

Props to Robbie and Wired for great research and storytelling about tricking! It's pretty rare for a media outlet to cover tricking well and y'all did it!

Impressed at how well tricking is represented in this video, and how they really get across how difficult even a quad cork is.

That was THE BEST mainstream coverage of tricking EVER. I am so impressed Wired. Great job.

I'm a tricker since 13 years ago, and the level of professionalism and knowledge of this video; the pros specifically picked... everything is so well done (and by a mainstream channel) that is hard to believe. Thank so much for approaching the culture and communicating the culture so well. Honestly thank you very much. That was amazingly good.

Backflips really are a joke, but still when people see trickers doing way cooler and more difficult stuff they always be like: "Can you do a backflip?".

why do i always expect some peculiar physical reasoning behind these videos when the answer is always: Because it's pretty hard.

They should do a vid on shosei, he’s 14 and has landed so many tricks people would never believe

I discovered tricking around 2011-12 ish. I think that’s when tricking was just popping off because I remember parkour/martial arts being my fav physical activity to do back then, and I stumbled upon tricking videos with Anis Cheurfa, Travis Wong, basically the OG legendary trickers. I was so in awe that I wanted to learn and try it out. Lord and behold, tricking became my new favorite sport. New trickers are lucky because there are SO many tricking tutorials out there now, which is great tbh. Lol So it’s great tricking is getting more recognition. Even in today’s video games and movies/shows.
