These animations will be added to as and when I have the time. The numbers after the links are the degree of difficulty according to the Tricks Party website. Personally, I would have put the Stall in group 1 and the Coin Toss in group 2.

Some tricks have different names in Tricks Party from those normally used in the UK. For those that do, the TP name is in brackets.

Thanks to Ron Graziano of Tricks Party USA for allowing me to add the US Tricks Party Definitions of the tricks to these animations. These descriptions are from the 26 June 2007 revision. And here's a link to the US Tricks Party Rules and Guidlines.

Here's an animation of a sequence of tricks to music that was originally made to show what could be done for a 30 second set in the UK Trick Out competition.

Please send any feedback on these animations to .

All of these animations use a model of a Benson Phantom Elite. Please don't tell me that a Phantom can't do some of these tricks. I know. Just think of it as a cypher for all kites.
