Flipping for funds

I've been wondering lately how you could use Tricking for something like charity work. Why not for every 5 dollars someone gives to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army you post a video on youtube saying the persons name and then doing a backflip? That would be a fun way to raise money for local charities! We as a community should look into this! We could host an event like Relay for Life but call it something like Tricking for Life. If we did this right we could make a lot of money for a life saving cause!

Using Twitter to build your team.. and your fan base.

Most people think of Twitter as a place to goof off but some people actually use it to make money! Take David wood for instance. This guy makes BIG money every month because he uses Twitter to get people from all over the world to view his site and buy his stuff. Now why can't we as Freerunners, Traceurs, and Trickers use this same concept to help build a team? Or even just a larger fan base? Well a good friend of mine, Joshua Coffy, turned me on to a product called Tweetadder. Josh personally uses this product and he showed me how it gave him 500 followers in a SINGLE DAY! Well I needed to try this for myself so I went to tweetadder.com and downloaded the demo. This really does work. By using tiny.ly I was able to track the clicks on my links. Within the first two minutes of using Tweetadder and tiny.ly I had 17 clicks on my first link. I'm not exaggerating this! Two minutes... 17 clicks. And then the idea came to me. Why not use this to send videos, friend invites, information on sessions, or techniques? I want to see this happen. I'm going to try this but I need some other people to do the same. Lets make the land gap between Trickers, Traceurs, and Freerunners a little bit smaller.
