as a rule of thumb most tricks that combine with a varial just add the "varial" to the title.
Fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way you wanna look at it, the days of guys giving tricks stupid names are pretty much over.
I guess we can leave that to wakeboarding now Wink

Every week some kid asks if he's invented this exact trick. No you didn't invent it, apparently people have been doing it for years (although I've never seen anybody do it). The reason people keep asking if they've invented it is 'cuz an established pro hasn't named it. Probably 'cuz they don't do this trick. Which would explain why I haven't seen anybody ever do it. You like how I'm writing in sentence fragments? Mr. Green

Varial shuve it takes to long to say. ANd i know people might have been doing them for a while but i just wanna know what they call em. I probably used the wrong word invent but i didnt know what to use.

Zara when you add a varial to a trick its not always called [trick name] to varial. Take a sex change, kick flip varial. Big spin, #60 shuve it varial in the same direction.

But i guess im an idiot for starting this.... Rolling Eyes

It doesn't matter what other people call it, that's what I'm saying. I've heard it called a Kastalarial, a Celestrial, blah, blah, blah. The fact is, until a pro skater does it & gives it a name it won't have a well known name. Even a well known pro giving something a name doesn't guarantee it will take (Bob Burnquist's "Samba flip" as he calls it is still referred to as a kickflip indy handflip by everybody else).

And just a side note, if the board doesn't flip on the long axis (ie, kickflip or heelflip) it's improper to use flip in the trick name.

Bigspins your body turns in the same direction as the board so most people don't refer to it as a varial. Also a lot of people that do varials either can't spin the trick normally, or are Rodney Mullen. I see a lot of people that can spin 3 flips and such but need to spin their body in the opposite direction or something. It's pretty weird and I wouldn't call 90% of body varial tricks an actual trick.

once again upon rereading my post I dont think I explained my point very well. Anyone with any psychic ability, feel free to step in and throw me a lifesaver... I'm sinking here! Puppy Eyes

Jester, i dont want this name to be well known. I just want a name i can refer to.

s-s213, im not doing a varial because my body wants to im doing it for variation. And i reckon a 3 flip varial would look better then a straight out 3 flip.

Zara, you might wanna name a sequence because its easier to say then fs board slide to 270 out or i dunno for fun.

In my original post i change the word "invent" to does that trick have a name yet?

I've never seen it done before, but I have been doing them for a while. I dont think you invented it. Sorry dude, but skating has been around for 40 years. Every trick has been invented or tried before.

they may not be named, but guaranteed they have all been attempted and stuck

Yeah i already acknowledged i didnt invent it.
