Street Stunts consists of executing any acrobatic movements and techniques, on a urban environment, varying from
Tumbling moves andGymnastics techniques, to Circus related activities.The main objective of Street Stunts, is to prove that the human body knows no limits, showing off the amount of ability and control one can achieve, what makes Stunters perform on extremely dangerous places or execute dangerous moves with no safety precautions.
Tricking
Nowadays, Street Stunts have been dispopularized with the growing of
Tricking , a similar activity, but with different objectives, and different techniques. (For instance, in Street Stunts, Stunters cannot use safety materials, like impact mattresses or Plyo Floor, while in Tricking, it is common to make use of them.)The main difference between both activities however, is that Street Stunts aims for the ultimate body control and gain of extreme levels of skill, having a philosophy "similar" (not equal) to
Parkour . In Tricking, the main goal is to show and perform difficult techniques with ease. The movements in Tricking tends to be performed in "Chain-Combos", differing once more from Street Stunts, were the Stunter focus on performing few moves at times, but with extreme precision and the beauty of the move itself.See also
