I love AWS' fascination with the hateful message boards.

"There’s no room for “twirlycocks” in wakeskating." Cool

"So far we’ve done a good job of carrying over the technical names for tricks from skateboarding. Keep it up. There’s no room for “twirlycocks” in wakeskating."

ghetto bird = skateboard trick

EJazzle, Not saying it isn't a skateboard trick. But it goes for skateboarding too, and of course it's just my opinion, but i say call it what it is. A hardflip back 1 or some variation of the actual tricks involved. Don't get me wrong. Next time i land a buzzard flip or a frontside space train i'll let everyone know Laughing

Slapdown, So you are implying we shouldn't use the word "big spin" anymore as well??

hmmmmm....I guess I am in the minority that doesn't want to make wakeskating rad. Personally I think people should worry a little less about what others think.

I like the last few posts on here and now I feel a lot better about things.

Yes, wakeskating IS rad.

Slapdown already said that the name issue applies to skateboarding as well--Mctwist and ollie are two easy examples. Both tricks were named after their inventors, so does that make them narcissistic? Whatever, I think it's OK to be creative. And I think ollie sounds better than vertical jump, or whatever you'd call an "ollie" had someone named it literally and not creatively. It would just be more lame if a wakeskater re-named an ollie on a wakeskate. Razz
