Lipslide tip press needs a new name.

Okay so a lot of people are doing this trick now so it officially needs a better name. Maybe there already is one and I just don't know about it. In snowboarding it's a noseblunt but we aren't copying them anymore for names. So what do we call it? Because lipslide tip press is too long and just sounds gay.

I think that all tricks should be referred to simply as "man, that looked sick" instead of names.

I hate names like noseblunt... it just sound so stupid.

good answer. it doesnt need a name. only i hate is when the announcers during the x games among others name the tricks wrong or dont even comprend the complexity of the tricks

I like lip nose. Simple, yet you know what the trick entails.

lip nose is good, but I think that "chin earlobe" is even better.

lip nose?!?! i have always called it a noseblunt cause it is. snowboarding only took it from skateboarding. all that it describes is what your board(s) are doing before and as they are on the rail.

a friend once said on the left that they shouldn't even be called tricks - his logic was that magicians do tricks, not skiers and snowboarders. i think he suggested "moves".

noseblunt is whack. you can only technicall y do a blunt on a skateboard because you need to have the rail/ledge up against your trucks. i like lipnose. if anybody calls it something else, they get a punch.

I like it when the announcers try to explain tricks like they were mogul tricks.

"oh, a 900, it's like 2 and a half helecopters"

Actually I hate it.

I think that as long as everyone knows what you are talking about, it doesn't matter what you call it. And if everyone is there to see it, what does it matter.

I think "blunt" should never be used to describe a trick in any sport. Neither the dictionary definition nor the weed connotation have anything to do with what is going on in the trick. It also sounds retarded.

could call man, i believe that would cover pretty much every ski trick too. end then i dont think anyother sport could copy it... except for "ski" boarding...
