Excuse my ignorance, but what is it called when you do a varial kickflip, then do a fs180? is it like a frontside varial kickflip? ie the board actually does 360...180 while its flipping and 180 after you've caught it... |

Uh, I think there's some confusion here. Varial kickflips are backside 180 popshuvits with a kickflip. If you do a varial kickflip with a frontside 180 body varial that's a novel move.
If you're doing a frontside 180 popshuvit with a kickflip that's a hardflip. Add a frontside 180 to that & you have a frontside bigflip. |

Jester is absolutly correct. I think jeremy is refering to the frontside bigflip. As to the varial kickflip with a frontside 180, the two 180 motions would cancel each other out (one is FS, one is BS), therefor it would just ke a kickflip with a 180 body varial, also called a Sex Change. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

so if you do a kickflip with a bs shuvit and then a bs 180 is it a bs bigflip or does it have another name? _________________ And if @$$holes could fly, this place would be busier than O'Hare |

Yes, its a Backside Bigflip, very cool trick.
Basically these tricks are FS and BS flips, with an extra 180 shuv it. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

Wakeboarding tricks ARE more confusing, because they are more inconsistant with their naming. Once you get the basics of skateboarding tricks, you can usually figure it out from there. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

Eh, that's true to some extent. Due to the nature of the ollie that automatically complicates things more. For wakeboarders you have regular or switch tricks. Skaters have regular, nollie, fakie, & switch, all depending on how you pop the board into the air. Then you gotta deal with things like smith vs. feeble, let's not even get into hurricanes & sugarcanes (180 fakie feeble or smith).
Then again, I hardly know anything about wakeboarding so you would probably have better overall insight into it than me. I just know that it's hard to figure out when someone's doing a switch manual or a fakie nosemanual. |

Jester: You are right on that account. I have had a LOT of arguments with people before about the naming of tricks done in nollie/fakie/switch. In that context, skateboarding is very confusing, but mainly because people like to 'cheat' and say they are doing a more complex trick than they really are.
For example: A Fakie Ollie is exactly the same as a Switch Nollie. Switch Nollie sounds better/harder, but thats all just BS. I always stick with the golden KISS rule, it eliminates a lot of hassle. If there is a simple way of calling a trick, and a hard way, just use the simple one, true skaters will respect that more.
I suppose I'm saying skating can be more confusing, but only due to misinformation, wheras the very DEFINITION of some wakeboard tricks is confusing, ie the whole 'Is a HS backroll a roll or a flip' debate. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

Yeah, good point. I don't know how wakeboarders name their tricks, seems like they roll dice to do it. |
