I know that there are already some sites that have a lot of gifs and explanations to do Rope Tricks, but considering that Blame The Pixel is dead and some past WO sites do not work, nlF and Xpert Roping Tutorial might fade away with time. Also, I think this wiki is the perfect place to teach people how to do the tricks, even though many gifs might be too heavy. Note that schemes envolving tricks are becoming more and more common, not only Trick Race that have a lot of maps and fans, but I've seen wxw maps with tricks and even Worms Basketball maps with tricks. Tricks are very important to Worms community. A page called "Rope tricks" could also atract more roping scheme players to this wiki... I don't know so much about the tricks, but I believe at least a stub could be done and some basic tricks like Spike or Shadow should be there, since they are very useful and simple tricks and some small gifs wouldn't hurt, I believe. --[[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] ([[User talk:FoxHound|talk]]) 00:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

A page just for rope tricks

I know that there are already some sites that have a lot of gifs and explanations to do Rope Tricks, but considering that Blame The Pixel is dead and some past WO sites do not work, nlF and Xpert Roping Tutorial might fade away with time. Also, I think this wiki is the perfect place to teach people how to do the tricks, even though many gifs might be too heavy. Note that schemes envolving tricks are becoming more and more common, not only Trick Race that have a lot of maps and fans, but I've seen wxw maps with tricks and even Worms Basketball maps with tricks. Tricks are very important to Worms community. A page called "Rope tricks" could also atract more roping scheme players to this wiki... I don't know so much about the tricks, but I believe at least a stub could be done and some basic tricks like Spike or Shadow should be there, since they are very useful and simple tricks and some small gifs wouldn't hurt, I believe. --FoxHound (talk) 00:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I already saw that Xpert Roping Tutorial page and put some good links to the Ninja Rope#Rope tricks section. I consider myself a "noob enthusiast of Trick Race and Rope Tricks" so I don't have much knowledge like you do have, or other Warmer Contest reviewers, Trick Race and other roping community players have about the tricks, so I was expecting that nobody would answer me and I would start a stub with the very basic tricks, with some gifs I would do from trick race maps or maybe ask permition to someone still active from those websites to copy the gifs and upload here.
