You didn't misspell it, the english language is just stupid. There is throw, threw, through, and though. It hurts my brain quite often and its the only language I know.

Why do snowboarders insist on calling it a wildcat? Just call it a fucking backflip like every other sport.

dub back is pretty much the same as a seven, just different rotation. Or a dub front on skis. Easy as fuck, not an actual double. So that run agaisnt for legit dubs, nah.

No, they called the backwards cartwheel a wildcat and I've heard it called that by other boarders before too. I have no idea what they call flipping heel edge, maybe that IS a wildcat and the Dew Tour announcers fucked up? Regardless, it's a stupid name for a trick.

from Wiki:

Wildcat: A backflip performed on a straight jump, with an axis of rotation in which the snowboarder flips in a backward, cartwheel-like fashion. A double wildcat is called a supercat.



Back flip
Flipping backwards (like a standing backflip) off of a jump.

Yeah, so basically a wildcat is a backwards cartwheel, aka uphill lincoln. The trick I was referring to was when McMorris did a "supercat". Why can't they just call a flip that goes backwards off a jump a backflip?

You guys have to be joking. A wildcat and a backflip are two totally different things and calling them the same thing would be stupid.

Same thing in wakeboarding, a wildcat would be a tantrum, and a backflip would be a back roll.

Why do you think they those front flips on skis tame dogs?

who knows?

I find it hard to watch snowboarding. Not as steezy and after watching so much skiing it is hard to adapt to. I don't notice much variations, just spinning....

Nobody cares about your ever-so-phenomenal snowboarding expertise. If you're gonna bitch about how someone on here doesn't know everything about snowboarding, check what site you're on.

It's just like saying it's stupid that lincoln loops are called lincoln loops because to you they just look the same as backflips.

WUT

That's not what I was saying at all lol

A flip that goes backwards relative to the direction of motion should be called a backflip. Skateboarders take the same stance as snowboarders and they call "wildcats" backflips. Why does snowboarding get it's own special term? It's a stupid trick name, but that's just my opinion, you don't have to take it so seriously.

I actually like the term wildcat. I mean we use switch or cab instead of backwards, so there isn't any preceding for not using slang.

It's more that I think it's a dumb name than I actually have any problem with them naming the trick that. Idk why, I just think it's a stupid trick name. I like switch and cab, and they definitely serve the purpose of abbreviating "skiing backwards" but I just don't like the term wildcat when it's basically a backflip (relative to the direction of travel). It's w/e, we have a special term for sideflip (lincoln), so they can have wildcat.

I see what you were saying there. I get defensive about skiers being shitty on snowboards because I learned how to ride park from snowboarders in the mid 90's.

You guys just sound like fucking idiots saying that wildcat is stupid and confusing, saying you don't "get" snowboarding and that it's not "steely" is fucking idiotic.

I guess some people don't remember anything.

I snowboarded for a long time before I started skiing. Difference between a wildcat and a backflip can be compared to the difference between a backflip and a flat 3. The rotations are close but they aren't the same thing.
