are these the guys that film themselves doing backflips in public trying to pick up chicks?

if they did that maybe people would actually know about them

It was tentatively lumped into the parkour thread under the assumption that there wouldn't be enough discussion to sustain separate threads but it's definitely different enough to warrant a distinct thread if there's adequate interest. You might find some posts relevant to your interests there either way:

I keep up with some basic parkour and I used to train taekwondo but I've never combined the two enough to be considered tricking. I tried to learn backflips once with the help of two coaches: one thought I had it and the other thought I needed assistance through the flip so I got pushed on one side and not the other, resulting in me rotating sideways and kicking the coach who didn't push me in his head hard enough to put an end to backflip lessons.

Sometimes. Tricking consists of gymnastics movements like that combined with martial arts movements like high kicks.

Jujimufu on YouTube is somewhat mainstream and was primarily a tricker before he became a bodybuilder. I think the reason people don't know about trickers is that there's too much overlap between movement disciplines and a normie doesn't know or care whether the practitioner in a seven second social media clip is doing tricking, freerunning, wushu, taekwondo, parkour, gymnastics, etc., etc. so they just assume it's whatever discipline they're most familiar with or that the individual is simply doing a flip outside of the context of a specific art. Jujimufu memed himself as the "anabolic acrobat" because everybody knows basically what an acrobat is and that's close enough to what tricking is to get the point across.
