i know snowboarding but snowboarders called it cork 7 and we do to. its not like phil belanger claimed to invent a new trick called the faggot 7, he called it a cork 7 like he should have

Actually, as far as skiing is concerned, it was originally called a "Mobius".  That's what a full twisting back flip was called when guys first started doing it on skis.  I got nothing but love for anyone trying to do that on a motocross bike.  Pastrana's the shit and he is definitely a few tacos short of combo plate.

To the author of this thread: this was a HORRIBLE post.  a) you are trying to insult a guy who does 10x crazier things than you do.  He is ridiculous. 2) You tried to make fun of his nomenclature, when you in fact have no clue what you are talking about.  You tried to call a backflip with a 360 a corked spin, that is heinously wrong.  Next time get your material right while being lame.  What you are referring to is now termed a D-Spin, a backflip with a 360.  You don't go inverted on a cork...

im pretty sure travis has a cork 7 (dspinish) and a rodeo 7... the shots they have been showing in the foampit is the rodeo, but ive seen him do a cork 7 as well...  i have a feeling we will be seeing the rodeo tonight...    not 100% on this, but im pretty sure.

whatever he does, will be amazing... not to mention loza and the 2 dudes that will be throwing front flips... sure to be a good comp.

on this subject. In every other extreme sport(where applicable snowboarding unfortunately isn't) switch=unatural, backwards=fakie, if anyone is going to moan about other sports misnaming things then it shouldnt be a skiier.

TO the original poster:  why did you contradict yourself in your original post?  you said "what is a 360 backflip"  then you said "does he mean a cork 7"  where did you get the other 360 from?  just wondering on your logic and why you are so tarded.

pastranas back 3 looks nothing like a cork 7. he does like a straight backflip then when hes done with about 3/4 of the backflip he somehow whips around a 3. It is insane something completely new. He is not copying out shit and it is super sick...watch it on the x-games right now

because a backflip 360 is a rodeo 720..
imagine doing just a backflip. now, think about the rotation... did you actually just to a 360 degree rotation on a different axis? yes. backflip (360) + 360 = 720

TADA!

Agreed.

To imply that skiing has been stolen from is absolutely absurd. Pretty much every trick name in skiing was lifted from skateboarding, snowboarding, and rolling.

Moto is not skiing, it is a 360flip, which i guess by definition you could call a rodeo 7.
Its the same trick that bmxers  and mtbers have been doing for years.

x2. Not only is it absurd, but it is also highly ironic. Afterbang? What the fuck is afterbang? Oh yes, it's rideaway. Which began with snowboarding. We then proceeded to change its name to "afterbang".

He's just smart.  People know what a 360 backflip is, its obvious.  Its a backflip and a 360.  Look, I'm already impressed.  But no one knows what the fuck a cork 7 is.  I barely even do.

THANK YOU.  That's what it is.

I was watching sportscenter, and the lady was like, "If you think a double backflip is crazy, watch Travis Pastrana go for a 360 backflip tonight!" I facepalmed so hard.

all you saying its a rodeo 7, it's not. It's a d-spin.  a fully inverted backflip to 360.  a rodeo 7 is not fully inverted.

Nor is his backflip, it's off-axis.  He goes fully inverted when he sets it wrong.  If you notice in that foam pit video, everytime he goes full inverted he doesn't come around all the way.  In the X games he set full inverted and wrecked extra-hard.

I don't understand what you're saying here. He tried to go fully inverted and he crashed.  Are you saying that if he didn't try to go fully inverted he would land or that he screwed up his own trick? Or, are you saying that you know how to do his own tricks and he doesn't?

he can name it whatever the fuck he wants. he is the first one to attempt it, so he has the right to name it. he isn't going to call it a cork 7 because it looks kind of like a cork 7 on skis. this is fmx not skiing.
