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.

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?

Yes, its a Backside Bigflip, very cool trick.

Basically these tricks are FS and BS flips, with an extra 180 shuv it. Wink

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.

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. Wink

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