If a switch cork is still corked forward, then shouldn't a switch front flip be called a switch backflip? (Because you throw it backwards) lol this might not make sense but it kinda does to me. Further explanation: a switch cork is basically a flatspin if you threw it that way going forward.

front flips are when you try to rotate towards the tip of your ski
back flips are when you try to rotate towards the tail of your ski
a switch front flip is a switch front flip as goes for a switch backflip.

the part about the flatspin almost makes sense. But for anything over 5 it doesn't hold true. Think switch cork 9 versus switch rodeo 9.

but professor, you are missing the point. His question refers go the fact that you stated, and describes how a switch cork three fails to follow the same rules.

I have already thought this one through. It isn't completely consistent, but it's now a convention. Everybody knows what it means, so just roll with it.
