  1. I learned this trick at Muni Fest last week, and I still don't know what
    its called. Could anyone help me out with naming this trick?

    Thanks

    Anyway, what a great place to pick up new tricks!

    Hehe. Well, I know you have a Ryan Atkins shirt, and I know the color
    of it (I own one myself) + we can see a spot in the middle of the
    shirt. So yeah.

    Unicaw89 said:

    I thought that was an inward small spin?

    No.
    1.A small spin in started from seat out.
    2. When a move is inward, you spin in the other direction of your uni.
    example: I spin 180 counter-clockwise and the unicycle spins
    360 clock wise (That's an Inward Small Spin)

    EDIT:

    Forgot to mention what a varial is.

    A varial is started from seat in (to seat out or in, it doesn't
    matter).
    Varial = 180 twist + 180 unispin (started from seat in (to seat in or
    out, it doesn't matter)
    Small spin = 180 twist + 180 unispin (but from seat out (to seat in or
    out it doesn't matter)
    Here are the "equivalences"
    Small Spin ~ Varial
    Big Spin ~ Full Varial
    Huge Spin ~ ?
    Large Spin ~ ?

  16. It would be cool if the first person to do a hugespin varial style would
    not name it a huge varial. Notice how none of the others are name
    related. Let's not get into that. I was a bit upset when the "mammoth"
    spin was hit, I had a much better name for it. Also I think i have a
    pretty great name for the "huge spin, varialstyle" trick if I can ever
    get it done. I have to practice it first. lol. Don't care much though.

    It's large spin. It was hit by Matt Huet before Chris landed it.

  20. So is it seriously called a large spin? Cause that makes for a really
    sad day in unicycling history. That's just what I want to tell the
    skater guys I sess with when I'm busting that trick and they ask the
    name (they do that a lot actually since most tricks are modeled after
    skating). That name is not on me guys.
