Absurd naming of tricks
« on: Aug 14, 2011, 12:58: AM »
First off I just want to say that I don't know if you have discussed this before, so don't rage if this is an old subject.
I've been wondering on this quite some time now, so I decided to make a topic out of it.

So, there are many 3rev tricks such as patw, szatw, skatw, eatw etc. One of the things I wanted to know is if k3eatw and eatw should be defined as two different tricks. The only difference is that k3eatw is eatw in one jump. It's the same with szatw and japa atw too. Some people do szatw with two jumps, but most people these days are doing it in only one jump. Should then szatw in one jump be called k3szatw? And is it easier to do some 3rev tricks with one jump?

The other thing I wanted to write about is beck atw. So as we know, beck atw can also be called hhjatw- tatw. But still, if someone does for example hhjatw- palle trick, most people simply call that beck palle trick. And that is in my opinion the easiest way to pronounce that combo. I don't think that I can change this whole naming system, but I think it would be better if beck atw could just be the same as hhjatw- atw. Then it would be way easier to say a combo with becks in it.
So that means:
HHJATW = BECK

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say, and please give some response and tell me what you think.

what do you call beck atw with an atw but not a tatw? beck atw?
so the original batw should be beck tatw or btatw, right?

Freestylers are so used to call batw for batw, so I think it will be named that way for a long time. But I agree that batw should have been btatw from the beginning, like lebioda atw is hlatw-atw, not hlatw-tatw (that would be lebtatw). But if you say "batw-alatw", I think people will see it as "hhjatw-tatw-alatw" and not "hhjatw-atw-alatw" for many years from now.

In my opinion the k3atw is just an eatw in a less stylish way just like "inside magellan" is a latw inside in a less stylish way..

And talking about tricknames, I personally like to write the magellan as "mgatw" (magellan atw), because then it will be easier to write mgaatw instead of "abbas magellan"  :great:

I agree in everything you say Kefix, it's not easy to rename something that has been called the same over years.

how about say beck is hhjatw atw, but beck atw/ batw is hhjatw tatw. so beck means the hhjatw motion, when its continued by some other trick

its a good idea! hhjatw=beck

Another trick what has a problem with its name is "magellan hmatw"... what Skóra did in beyond or efreestyle final video... out half atw-hmatw nt, or half magellan-htw nt, I think this trick could have a same name like skóra tricks, or something like this

but i think it depends on if beck was the first person to do hhjatw or hhjatw-atw. We know he was the first to do hhjatw-tatw. But did sum1 else do hhjatw and hhjatw-atw before beck?

I think the names should remain as it is so we know who did what first.
forget Ronaldinho....only one deserves the -inho suffix......Jabarinho!!!!

hatw aatw nt is hhjatw - atw i think
and it would have been way better if batw = hhjatw, agree with that
