I was just wonder what you guys think and prefer. There are a lot controversy over how to throw tricks and what they are called. I just want to make sure I am not telling people the wrong thing.. If you have an opinion, please comment bellow. K+ for bumps 1. K-fed: pretzel front switch up, continuing blind 270 out 2. Brittany: Blind switch up, continuing front 270 out 3. Ray- fed: Blind switch up, pretzel blind 270 out 4. Is there any name for a front switch up, pretzel front 270 out? 5. Some people tell me to throw corks forward and some people tell me to throw them backwards. Dose it make a difference, or just is it what you are more comfortable with? 6. If your riding up to a rail switch, and you are on the side of the rail that you would normally get on rails going forward, and you hop and bring your tips over the rail. Would that be switch lip on or just switch on? Thanks and comment bellow, I really would like to know if I'm right or wrong.

K-fed - Front swap continuing 2

Brittany - Back swap continuing 2 (also called blind side k-fed)

Ray-fed - Back swap pretzel 2 (or back 2 in this case) out

Front swap front 2 - Pretty much what the name says, haven't heard it called anything else

Corks are thrown back, if it's thrown foreword it's a bio (i could be wrong, it's st pattys day)

Sw tails - get on switch with tails over the rail

Sw tips - get on with tips over the rail, also called sw lip

I don't know if these are the "right" names for these tricks, they're just what me and my friends call them, and they seem to be pretty well accepted and understandable

The guy above is right about corks they're always backwards, and I always thought the forward companion to the cork was the misty but who knows

A blind swap to continuing 2 out is a Brittany and a blind swap blind 2 is a Hellen Keller. And all the ones you listed were right

Definitely sounds right. Everyone has their own way of throwing/doing tricks, so there's always controversy over tricks.

theres also super k-fed which is 4 out instead of two.

and that last one is a switch lipslide or just a lipslide.

and if you want to take that 4 out and turn it into a 6 out, you would have yourself a super duper k-fed.

No. Because if you get on a rail switch, a front 2 wouldnt be pretzel. A pretzel is when you spin the opposite direction you got on the rail. So if you front switch up, a front 2 would be preztel and if back switch up, a blind 2 would be preztel.

a pretzel is when you change the rotation of the trick
so If you were to do a blind switch up , a pretzel 2 would be a back (blind) 2

but if you were to do a front switch up (pretzel switch up) a pretzel 2 would be the same as a front 2
