:o I can usually find a hack circle by simply going to a rock concert. :)

The key to playing in a hack circle is to wear terrible freestyle shoes and to use a terrible freestyle hack. :wink: That way, you feel more comfortable sticking w/ basic kicks, stalls and tricks. :)

I have yet to run into a circle that didn't enjoy seeing someone pull off simple tiltless tricks.

Though like everyone else said, generally tone down the tricks, but things that impress the crowd a lot are.

Aerials (always gets the eye)
Around the Worlds (always gets em)
Duckigns (same)

and of course the ultimate crowd pleaser!

The pendulum

But the Hacky circle is a place to kick and try to get hack, so generally keep the strings very short jsut quick bursts. Even give props to the other people or ask if to give some small tips. heck even push them like "Can you do a toe stall or a flying clipper? How bout a dragonfly?" simple tricks and if they hit it they'll be hooked :D

But I'll shut up now since everyone said what I said I think

Peace,
Look a BLOG! That I never update

I agree with most everything else that was said.. Don't try to push it on people but do a few tricks to spark their interest; if they respond positively show them more and give them info.
