    call it zero spin only when you're fakie is what I thought. If the only thing added is zero spin then it is safe to assume that they went the easier way, the same as when someone does royal they don't specify that they spun 90 degrees into it.

    ...That's it.
    It's a very simple, solid system.
    I have a question:
    Why do we use the term 'truespin fishbrain' AND 'truespin kindgrind'? Shouldn't a truespin kindgrind be called a truespin sweatstance?

    because sweatstance is a gay trick, not to be confused with kindgrind.

    Thanks for ending it, dude. I was worried.

    Dude a front ao unity is just like a AO porn. A savanah is when you jump out of a soul trick into a frame trick.

    Because a kindgrind is a fakie topside mizou. Not a zero topside mizou. Because then what would a hurricane topside mizou be?

    its only alleyoop if you're backwards.
    your body may be backwards, but you're feet are still at 90 degrees.
    I agree. Its not a ao unity sry. If that was the case then we would have to call a FS Royale an AO royale... Its a front sav.

    there will be like 14 of us left in 10 years, so lets just let this debate slowly die along with the rest of this.

    You don't call forwards to back royale a "truespin royale." Just call it fakie back royale if you feel better about it.

    truespin and alley oop (spins) don't determine if you grind forward or backwards. Read the db22 article.
    http://thisissoul.nl/db22-tricknames.jpg

    its perfectly good to say for example:
    -alley oop bs royale
    -truespin frontside royale
    -alley oop 450 royale.

    i'm going to continue using whatever trick names i want. it's not as if an abundance of people outside of rollerblading are going to know the difference between a true front nugen, or a inspin 270 front nugen.

    when i comes down to it, whether you agree or not, you're going to know what trick i'm talking about.

    Dude, it's not a nugen. It's a Full Torque.

    I'm joking. Really though, I agree 100% with what Tony is saying.

    From now on, if I ever see a caption that says "Tony Rivituso - 360 Topsoul (or fakie 360 whatever)" I'm just going to assume you did it the easy way

    No, truespin already impies that you slide backwards... Saying truespin kindgrind is like saying a double negative.

    - topacid --> truetopacid
    - fishbrain --> truefishbrain
    - sweatstance --> truekindgrind???? (should be true sweatstance)

    The spinning into the grinds is not where the problem is. The tricknaming got problematic when we started using other tricknames for grinds where you slide backwards, e.g. kindgrind, soyale, pornstar.

    But, I am fine the way it is now and we shouldn't change it!
