LAMEST term in all of skiing

By far the lamest term in skiing is "unnatural". I am amazed that no other term has ever made its way to be more recognized than this shitty one. Concluding this, we need to create some other term for this. I have no ideas but there must be something better than this. Please inform me of something better.

kanagroo flip, dj flip, backside/blindside,frontside, pretty much all the terms on rails
flips should be called what they are, and rail terms should be used the same as as snowboarding

'spinning the other way' sounds pretty shit in my opinion.
lets keep it unnatty till someone comes up with a better term

no, unnatty/unnatural is a great term, because it is what it sounds like. I fucking hate all the snowboard wanna be cool terms that don't make sense. what the fuck is a triple McChicken, hold the fries? oh wait, you just did a straight air grab and want to make it sound like yer the ILLEST!
it's like a double inverted switch zero spin

ya i agree with this kid.... i saw some little kid try to hockey stop over a sheet of ice and he ended up sliding a little bit and his dad (who was filming) started yelling that he was "grinding"...

Spinning on skis should always be defined as Leftside or Rightside, just like anyother sport where you ride sideways have frontside and backside.

The small problem that arises from using a designation such as right and left is that people assume right is unnatural almost all the time. So saying unnatural is saying what it is: it is unnatural for that particular person, regardless of what direction that may be. Personally, I'll say left or right in certain contexts, but I will also willingly say unnatural. It makes simply sense.

Apparently I don't make sense.
Last line should read "It simply makes sense."

Call "unnatural" 'unnaty' instead. It sounds cooler and confuses outsiders.

grind is the lamest term, although I think that's more of a term gapers use for sliding rails

Frontside and Backside/Blindside switch ups. Frontside is spinning downhill, and easer than Backside (spinning uphill and blind).

if your sliding on a rail. back 2 out is a backside 270 out. front 4 out..etc

And I think unnatural is perfect. It's not your natural way of spinning. You can't always call it Rightside, because some people spin right naturally.
Unnatural is great.

One of the boarders on the crew watching a kid coming into a jump switch one day, the kid was completly bent over and looking around his ass to see where he was going and the boarder yelled out of nowhere "comin in gay". we all had a chuckle for a little while.

Why do we have to name tricks anyway? "flippy spinny thinggy" has always worked for me.

unnatty is the dumbest sounding thing ever. it sounds like you're talking about natty ice. cAll it unnatural, its a MUCH better term.

switch up is pretty lame cause it throws so many people off. sometimes people willl be like was it on a jump and others are like did u go switch up to the rail. it gets annoying but maybe its just my friends who dont shit about skiing.

I call it slothy. An unnatural spin is a slothy spizzle.
