I guess i should have specified that a lot of what i posted was pretty loose. Hardflips, bigspins, etc. Are all terms i don't have anything against. And that's just how i am. I think up to a certain point, it just makes calling tricks easier to give them nicknames (kickflips, varial flips, fs/bs flips, etc.). What i won't say are things like ghetto bird, gazelle flip, (i'm iffy about lazer flip), etc. And it's not that i take myself so seriously that i won't call a trick something silly (i joke about it a lot), it's just that i don't want to call them those names when i'm actually referring to them. I'll use the shorter nicknames together. It also makes it easier for the person to whom i'm speaking to understand.

You all can call tricks whatever you want. If you or Bill Cosby want to call a kickflip a Zip Zop Zoobity Bop, i won't be the guy that's going to try to stop you from it Smile

i think its funny how it said we should keep technical terms when most of the names of tricks other than spins (180s,etc) were just nicknames when they were first created too.

The BEST way to keep wakeskating rad is to get as many people as possible access to the sport. Continue to make it as affordable as possible and get as many people as you can involved, even if they might get better than you.
