  2. No, that's a body varial. A varial is a unispin with a 180 twist, easy.

  3. Naw, that's a 180/180 unispin. A varial and body varial are the same
    thing, 180 body twist.

  4. Na man, I'm right. It's Shaun J, Tomsey etc. who make all this stuff up
    and because they're the best at it, what they say goes so a varial is a
    180/180 unispin. Also has to be from seat in to seat out...

  5. Here is a varialflip. A varial is the exact same without the crankflip
    in it....

    Until all of this is written down somewhere, all of you guys are just
    making stuff up (names). We need a place to coordinate the names and
    definitions for all these cool new tricks.

    Whoever puts the list(s) together obviously gets some say in what
    they're called...

  7. The names are just taken from skating and BMXing. A Varial and Body
    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?
    Maybe you're right, but that's my 2 cents.

    Just ignore the similarities or differences we have with skating terms.
    It's been done like this so we can differentiate between varials, small
    spins and big spins etc. The difference is subtle to some but obvious
    to the people who do them, which is...

    varial = 180/180 unispin, seat in to seat out
    small spin = 180/180 unispin, seat out to seat out
    big spin = 180/360 unispin, seat out to seat out (Dan does one of these
    in the latest syko vid)
    360 varial = 180/360 unispin, seat in to seat out

    Basically there isn't much difference between a varial and a small spin
    except for when you try for 360s or more.

  9. Yeah pete66 is right. 180/180 "out to out" is a smallspin and "in to
    out" is a varial.

  13. And in my experience, out to in varials are almost always "fakie
    varials" because the rider starts the move with the seat backwards (and
    out)...

  17. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_unicycling

    I put it as a 180footplant... I think the only time you'd actually need
    all these names of the tricks would be if you were making a unicycling
    video game or something though.

    I've just gone through and categorised the tricks coz the list was
    getting a bit long. If anyone wants to add more tricks to that site or
    refine the ones that are there it'd be good, or else just post them
    here and I'll see what I can do. I see someone added 270 unispin to the
    mix.

    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.

    So if a foot on tire body varial is now called a 180 footplant then
    what do you call a 180 into or out of a footplant?
