brit is easier, no doubt about it. no matter what anyone else says.

when you jump on a rail you are setting your momentum up for a backside switch up. so with physics as my evidence, brit is easier.

however, I find kfeds less scary/learned them first cause I'm a bitch.

now, would you consider something natural because it is a) the way you spin or b) your natural foot forward when you first get onto the rail.

you're an idiot for thinking that rail combo tricks have actual names.

this is freeskiing, not followerskiing.

ok bud. just go ahead and call everything whatever you want to call it. it's just annoying as fuck to hear kids argue about tricks and names, so it's nice to have a standard name for a trick, instead of naming every switch up and spin out done, which direction it was done, how big it was ect...

which is exactly what you're doing in this thread.

if you want standardized names you should write a freeskiing manual and have it published by FIS so that nobody will ever come up with their own word for a trick ever again!

That's why they have standard names, the one's i listed. It's annoying as fuck to hear kids say "uhhh i did a switchup to switchup to switchup to 270 out." That's why we have k-fed, blind fe, ray charles ect...

cool man, you should come up with names for EVERY trick!

cork 9 with a blunt is now a timC spin
cork 9 with a mute is now a corkeroo
rodeo 5 japan is now a johnson flip
misty 7 with a mute is now a james dean

now do that for every jump trick and rail combo you can think of, make it into a pamphlet or something and i will be sure to memorize it thoroughly, as should the rest of the freeskiing community.

then you won't have to hear stupid ass kids saying "uhhh i just did a front swap to blind swap to 4 out" or "uhhh it was a lincoln loop with a safety"

what?

im implying that the way you spin is usually the same way you hit rails naturally.

i spin right and i go left foot foreward on rails. is not everybody like this?

what i'm saying is, so would a right foot k-fed be natural (because you're right foot forward) or unnatural (because you're spinning right). the same would go for your left foot forward britney. it's your unnatural foot forward, but you're spinning right. natural or unnatural?

btw, no, not everybody is like that. i go left foot forward on rails (naturally) and spin left (naturally). some are the opposite of me, some are the exact opposite of you, it's like how some people are left handed, others are right handed.

can't do unnatty blind swups... that is way hard than unnatty front, which is why learning kfeds is easier, i couldnt do them the one direction so i learned them the other way

If you can blind swap then a brittney should be a walk in the park. Plus I think the look better.
