If a boardslide= a lipslide, wouldn't a b/s board just be the same as a b/s lip?

yeah.. you got it right!
so, i was sayin that you have to remember that here a bs board is actually a bs lip... if you forget it and say you bs boardslided some monster kinked rail, kids will be thinkin you shreded the shit out of it

yeah.. them wierd trick names will always be there from one town to another

but if yall ever come here to brazil you might have some trouble.. its not that we dont know how to name the tricks, everyone knows how theyre called in the states, but we have some major differences

In Brazil it goes like this:
- kickflip = (just) flip
- 360 flip = kickflip (or for short, just) kick...... so, dont say you kickflipped that 10, cause you just didnt!
- shove-it/pop shove-it = varial (for both)
- fs shove-it/pop = (just) shove-it
- boardslide = rockslide
- lipslide = boardslide........... yeah my friend, dont say you can bs board that rail, cuz ya jus CANT!
- 5-0 = (just) grind

i guess it started with some misunderstandings waaaay back in the good ol' days
now its just like, nothing will change
haha really? I have had some good skate friends from Brazil over the years but I never heard anything about this. What part of Brazil may I ask?

It reminds me of one time when I was in high school me and my friend tried to rename all the basic tricks with the most simple/silly vocabulary. Like kickflips were magic, shuvits were semi circles and 360 shuvs were circles, so a treflip was a magic circle.

westslide sounds good. Did Jon West do it frontside or backside? Which ever is the opposite way should be called the eastslide.

Recently I heard that a pop shuv rewind was a nacho spin or something. Anyone else hear of this? And how about tre flip rewinds?

ok, i'm back. things went crazy last week.

*bigspins: here's the official word from Dr. H himself:
"i did invent the bigspin, but so did brian lotti.  and lotti was better known and people saw him do it first.  i think the first documentation is him in a gullwing video. i think the spin off goes to lotti or gavin, actually.  whoever did it first, gavin was the footage i remember, down 2 or 3 stairs in some arizona spot.i have never heard of a meatspin, but it's sounding like some gay porn jargon, and is upsetting me a little bit."

so, bumpnrun, you already got that gullwing footage- thank you. and we will go with you on the fakie bigspin being first, thanks for sticking to your guns on that.

*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYKWli-pOU0

2:57?  fakie big?  i kept watching it going...'come on ray...how many step hops do you have to do until you do the fakie big...'

pretty sure i learned it on a mark partain....the blockhead one...not the renegade one....

no, that's the MJ trick we were talking about earlier-- the off-the-nose board goes 540/person goes 360! and it seems i must eat some craw on this one-- rodney mullen has confirmed that this is indeed a gazelle. so there's the definition. how about a name for the off the nose 360 pivot, what i had believed the gazelle was? 360 chinese ollie?

*on the laserflip out of a noseslide-- i might be reading the question wrong but you couldn't laserflip out of a noseslide as you have to hit your tail to do a laser. you could nollie 270 heel, or nollie 270 varial heel. that's some armando barajas territory.

*disco flips-- good name. and i go with dolphin flips for these weird endo varial flips. i don't like to see them for any reason though.

*the 360 ollie half flip is crazy! don't remember seeing anybody do that. by the way, was in june "kate" or june "kah-tay"? never knew.

*that simon half-flip thing-- anything with your feet gripping the sides and no tail hit used to be called a "gorilla grip", so i guess that would be a half gorilla flip? only simon.

*shirtless homeboy-- i don't see anything late, just looks like a switch bigspin heel to me...

*braydon/other side of the ledge stuff-- i'd agree with ollie over to whatever the trick is, like ollie over to noseblunt slide for braydon there.

*sid melvin's trick-- that's the baglady, or the losi grind, possibly the novacaine. we got lost on that one. baglady and losi grind are both ok for sure, the novacaine we need some more research.

*flamingo/pretzel plant-- referring to the weird step-off no-comply leg wrap thing? i always knew those as "crowd pleasers" but i think that one has no official name.

*faster-- agreed on the bluntslide stuff. don't like droopy bluntslides either. un-level slide tricks used to be called "sandbags", like "his bluntslide was all sandbaggy". and it does look more like a half-cab over to tailslide, though i think to be an "over" trick the ledge has to be wider than your wheelbase.

Any willy variation should just be called ugly piece of shit grind.

there can be some interesting ideas with them, but i think they look like hell, too.

*brazil- a rockslide is legit since they are sliding rock n rolls. i love the "magic circle", that's brilliant. as for the rest- whoa!

*louie's trick- i'd say noseslide to wheel-well slide but i'm down with the eastslide/westslide thing, especially if you're throwing signs while you do it.

*pop shove/nacho deal- never heard it. and the 360 flip one-- 360 flip to f/s nose pivot? don't have a name for that one. b/s would be 360 flip to nosedrive, but nosedrives are only backside i believe. how about bigspins or big flips where your body turns the opposite way of the board, like 360 flip but body goes f/s 180? i remember seeing rudy johnson do those a long time ago...

but would that make the Koston trick a nollie novocaine, or is it a trick of it's own title?  ???

no...i think he over turns it....so that's yet another trick...could be an overturned novicane...but i think it's just best left un-named.  Switch cab feebs? 

Danny Sargeant was a novicane guy...yeah?  On tranny they were losi lipslides....

remember when for a minute the feeble was a grapefruit grind?

i think the willy is dumb too but which has lead to me not really liking switch smiths....

but would that make the Koston trick a nollie novocaine, or is it a trick of it's own title?  ???

yeah, i'm pretty sure that's what it is as well. we'll go with that for now and i'll try to get further conformation from a vert guy, but yeah, i think so too. as for the nollie one, i think nollie novacaine would be right but most would say it as nollie 180 to switch feeble.

so losi grinds, bagladys and the "over willy" (which i think we can lose since the other names pre-date it by a good bit) are the same, novacaine is 180 to switch feeble. and yeah, i do remember the grapefruit grind term...

gipper, we've been throwing around "baglady" on that trick for pages now, where you been? ha.

and i think a b/s baglady popped out to fakie on a ledge, like a real nollie b/s 180 out,  would be sick. a lot of the other variations, not as much. the way he was on that at 3:54 was way more like an ollie over to willy- i think of baglady or losi grind as staying inside of it, like a lipslide.

re: off the nose 360 pivot ... heli-pop?  Or some other helicopter-like name?

^
1) no, because the bigger spin variants are board goes 540, body still just 180. so the gazelle is like a nollie bigspin pivot. that actually makes it way easier to think about, pivoting a nollie bigspin. thinking about it just as a straight board 540/person 360 makes me dizzy!
2) helipop is right, but i always thought of a helipop as hitting your nose. i guess the non-hitting version would still be the same thing, just a weaker version. helipivot? haha.

that's what I'd call that, but it'd probably be accompanied with a clerification as a sw bs flip to back 5-0

how about the trick at 3:48?
