Why do bmxers call a cork 7 a backflip 360?

Its not a 360. Its clearly 720 degrees of rotation. What the fuck is wrong with them? Are they too obstinant to call it by its proper name, hoping people think its a different trick than you see on skis? Wtf?

Because most people literally used to do a backflip 360.

Its a completely different sport and whoever can do that on a bike should be able to call it whatever the hell they want. Doing that trick on a bike is approximately 1000 times harder and 100 times riskier. They could call it an upside down whirlibird and I would be fine with that.

Calling it an upside down whirly bird would be closer to the truth

True, true. The church in general is so fucked up. Most people who've studied European history know what I'm talkin bout

i thought they called them cork 7s..?


anyway, a backflip 360, yes, is a 7, but if they say that theyre just describing the trick in the most basic way possible, the way we sometimes say something is a backflip 180 or whatever, just backflip + 180

a backflip 360 is just a cork 7 except you go inverted anyway

also to the dude who said a backflip 360 is a rodeo 7..not really, it's a dspin in skiing terms pretty much, and a dspin is just an antiquated term for inverted cork 7 pretty much. rodeos are different

Why isn't football called handegg?
The only person on the team that has his foot come into contact with the inflated sheath of leather gets made fun of for being a pussy

It's funny because they're actually different tricks in the biking world.

HEY MAN! It's not my fault you chose to get butt fucked by embarrassment for being called out for not knowing shit but trying to pretend like you are.


Fuck off to Chinaland, you dog-loving sicko. Have fun trying to sit down with that ravaged doughnut of yours.
