The first trick I tried with success was the vortex.

I dont perform but I'd have to say my favorite trick to do/see is the three beat weave with LED twins. So pretty.

The first trick I learnt was waist hooping. I was terrible to start with -  quickly followed by hips and halos - and I thought I was an amazing goddess cracking the prayer halo!  The hardest trick I have learnt is the float as dizzy tricks really challenge my balance sickness. I am proud to say I have now conquered this move.

I do as little performing as I possibly can but my favourite flow trick combo is a halo/pass/revolving door/(no foot back down on the floor) halo combo. 

Great question and I hope lots of people rely to give me lots of inspiration :)

first trick was the vortex - i feel like that's pretty standard because it looks SO cool (it really does, we forget that after we've learned a ton of tricks lol)

 

but my favorite performance trick is probably barrel rolls or cat-eye isos. i like to do pretty tricks while dancing and i feel like both of those fall into that category quite well

My first trick was a bow. It actually took me a few days to get the vortex. :)

My favorite trick of the moment is isopops/linear isolations. :D

The first trick I learned was simply bringing it above my head, the vortext came later.  I taught myself a bunch of tricks in the beggining then i found this wonderful site and started getting help from tutorials...

Some of my favorite tricks now are anything with minis (ecspecially the windmill and windmill variations) and also the p izza toss into a jump through vortext....mmmhmmm!

Does lifting from waist into lasso count a a trick? That's the first thing I learned to do besides hooping at the waist. My favorite trick overall is a tie between the shoulder duck out and the behind the back elbow pass.
