Varial in skating are the same. It is when the body turns and not the
board. Why would a term coined from skating apply to something nothing
like the original skating trick?
Um, are you sure, because i disagree? A varial is the same as a
shuv-it. Thus, a varial is when the board spins without the body. I
was pretty big into skateboarding back in the day, so unless the terms
are different on this side of the pond, you're mistaken.
But, you do bring up an excellent side point. If you're going to
steal/borrow a term from skateboarding to apply it to unicycling, apply
it properly!!!!!!!!
* Varial = Unispin = when the unicycle spins under the rider (180
degrees by default).
* Body Varial = when the rider spins without the uni (180 degrees by
default).
* Big Spin = when the unicycle spins 360 and the rider spins 180 in the
same direction. It's like doing a 180 spin (uni and rider together)
plus a unispin at the same time, in the direction that you're spinning.
