CaseyThat’s fair I’m going back to calling 360s helicopters.
Farmville420Underflips should be called whiskey flips, I don't know what the original trick a whiskey flip describes is but I've been just sayin whiskey flip for undies cuz I like the way it sounds. Flat 3 should be called half-kang. Lincoln Loop is a fire name. Rodeo is pretty cool as well. Cork/wobble both suck but I don't have better alternatives. I'm pretty sure dub bio is called orbital, which if true if pretty cool, not sure where I got that from tho.
Side note, why the fuck is every rail combo named after a celebrity? Literally all those names suck, I just learned them this year. "Ray Charles", "Ellen", "Britney", etc, I didn't know people actually said these things.
SlowbroWhiskey flip is the original name for a dub flair, I think it was named by Peter Olenick who was the first guy to dub in pipe.
Tyler Barnes (I think) named the kfed because it looks like a dance move and Kevin Federline (nickname K-Fed) was the most famous dancer at the time (more for being Britney Spears’ husband than for his dancing). And a Britney, originally Britney’s Bitch is another reference to Kevin Federline. The other celebrity names are just a continuation of this. Ellen is an Ellen Degenres cause you have to scissor a lot to do one (2000s humour sucks) and a Ray Charles is called that because it’s completely blind.

asparagusI think orbital refers to the weird rotation Henrik does his triple 12/14 mute with, set like a switch bio but rotates like a cork and barely off axis.
BingPowray charles goes kinda hard, ngl

steez_apprenticeI never knew either of these wtf is an Ellen? Backswap front 2?

SofaKingSickfront swap front 2 = ellen (stupid name no one uses much)
front swap back 2 = k fed
back swap front 2 = britney
back swap back 2 = ray charles
k fed is really the only one people use on much of a regular basis though
steez_apprenticeI was always under the impression that front swap front 2 is britney, but never heard a name for back swap front 2. interesting
skiermanYeah, it was really lame when the untalented swerve jackasses tried to re-name tricks to make their mediocre skiing seem better, like calling nollies peanut butters.
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUU
WadyatalkinaboutModern day ski trick names have become dull and flavorless. If I go into the park and someone tells me to do a 360 I feel uninspired. But if an old head with jeans and 40 underfoot skis tells me to do a cinnamon roll that leaves me with a warm feeling coming from the soul. I would much rather have someone compliment me for a backward aerial flip. Or my hotdoggin through the moguls than any other trick I have.
