your feet flippin and trying to make your articulations go a smooothly

If this trick is called an ET (or rev) then what's a crankflip? And what
about the no-footed version?

Personally I think ETs and rewinds are cooler names.

a no footed backwards revolution is a crankflip... or a no-footed
forwards one is a crankflip also... it has to go 360 degrees revolution
but.

a full rev pedal in the air is called an E.T. with feet on pedals

a full rev backwards in the air is called a rewind. with feet on pedals

says you..I think we should stick to wheel-rev for forward and Back-rev
for backwards.... it's more to the point. And why should two varitations
of the same move have tottaly unrelated names?

why is more to the point better?

creative is better. and kids will be using these terms for years after
they are made up.

i think rewinds sound cool... then you can say stuff like 'the rewind
grind'
back-rev grind just doesnt have the same ring now does it?

scientists are specific and to the point, and are continually boring
everything up.
i wont get into spiritaulisation, but street is more about creative
expression in any sport, as well as unicycling.

if i can get it to take off that would be cool, but i know most people
are always afraid of change.

ok...tell you what..once we start getting street competitions and
anouncers going "Oh damn! i can't beleive it it's a 180 rewind grind!!"

then maybe weird names would be better...but even then... I think you
should have simple names for easily describle moves.

So let's not start calling crank-grabs weasel poppers or any other weird
thing like that.

im with you on that one...

no dumb names... i think my names arent necessarily completely out
there. like weasel popping...

im also curious as to how many people are able to name their own tricks
here, but i've probably jacked this thread enough already

p.s im not having a go at you. your opinion is as good as anyones.

These seem like fairly sensible names and will work as long as they're
universally adopted by unicyclists (therein lies the problem!)

My next nomenclature question for you Alex is what about the half
revolution versions which riders often learn before doing the full
revolution versions? Half ET? Half rewind? Or maybe 180 ET for the half
rev and 360 ET for the full?

I'm a little surprised John Foss hasn't added to this thread on street
trick nomenclature yet!

man... always issues,

i dont know what a backwards/forwards half rev can be called... they
arent very cool tricks.
i am not in any liberty to name them... someone else can.

chyeah..they're pretty cool when you're gapping things cause then you
land on your switch foot. If we qwere skate-voarders now this would be
considered as an added difficulty..

oorrrr you take off of your switch foot. This is harder, o' course, but
I think E.T.'s are easier to do starting switchfoot.
Of course, I can't even do them properly, I can only do -half-
E.T.'s....

Switchfoot is called fakey in skating. I think tomsey has a point, and
that makes me feel old. If at 34, I come home to my wife and son and
say"DUDE I just pulled a GNAAAAARLY rewind grind of a 180 down a double
set of 8!" Well frankly, I'd be stoked.😄

I think we should have a bias poll.

Fakie: skating backwards—the skater is standing in his or her normal
stance, but the board is moving backward (not to be confused with
"switch stance"😉.
