because wakeboarding is stupid like that. Why is a backflip called a tantrum? Why is a front flip end over end, while the backroll which is the same basic rotation called a backroll? All the while, a front roll is board over head, even though this kind of rotation is usually called a flip by any other sport. Why is a hs front roll called a mexican backroll?!
I'll tell you why: it's because we want to be individualistic... yeah, that's it. It's not that we're stupid, we're just original! _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

im guessing on this one but i think it has to do with skateboarding. on a skateboard if you are going to do a frontflip its going to look like a front flip on a wakeboard. also skateboarders dont do tricks that look like backrolls and such so we needed new names for them. Most of the names of tricks in wakeboading sound pretty stupid but thats cool. anyways getting back to the question, im just guessing but it maybe because frontrolls are only done TS. or sumthing like that. im probly way off. |

Backrolls and Frontrolls are labeled rolls because the way the board rotates not your body. On those the board is rolling edge over edge, while on a frontflip the board is flipping tip to tip. |
