Why would anyone ever take history lessons on acro ski? Since newschool skiing came in its been called a ninja flip and always will be because acro ski is gay. Impressive, but gay.

Werts you are an idiot. Please do not be so fast to refer to someone as a dipshit teenager when you yourself haven't taken a history lesson. And besides, if we took the names of our stuff from aerials a whiskey flip would be called a double half twist. So please don't be so fast to unleash rage upon the "uneducated teenagers", one of which I am.

The PROPER name for this is the "wongbanger" as it was invented by old-school asian skier extraordinaire WAYNE WONG. The frontflip between poles off flat ground was his signature move, and unfortunately he has faded into obscurity over the years. Pay homage to Mr. Wong and please refer to it as the wongbanger, as there is no better name that you could possible come up with for such an amazing trick.

Ok cool I looked that up and this guy is right. Since there seems to be no real names so far how about Wong Banger is a flatground front flip with poles and ninja flip is a flat ground (or off small rollers just not specified jumps) front flip with out poles? Any objections or suggestions?

The using/not using poles seems about right, but I will always call a flat ground frontflip a wongbanger, whether or not poles are used, because I simply can't resist saying wongbanger.
