Why is a manual called a manual?

[j....soy.....]

I still don't know....who named it?  I'm going with Blender doing in on a roll out deck first, then it being done on street. 

[GNARBukowski]

why is the colour red called red ?

"Manual- trick was first introduced by Sir Emanuel Garcia in 1787. First was called the "Sir Eman" but was later shortened to manual when brought to the states in 1804."

I always wondered about "no comply". It sounds weird and random. People don't name tricks like that anymore. Everything's just a variation of something else these days.

[j....soy.....]

John Lucero came up with the trick....Blender had the first photo....not sure who named it....

[H8R part 4]

because calling it a "wheelie" would've been lame as hell.

we have our own language/lingo, something that everyones else out there has been biting since day one.

it was originally called a step-hop

[j....soy.....]

nope...stephop is the 180 one on flat ala ray barbee...no idea who invented that one...the no comply is over a curb and straight....

it's funny...the wheelie stuck for quite awhile the form of 'nose wheelie' I know at least around here it was that for along time eventually it became 'nose manual'....I may have said nose wheelie yesterday....

Same here, I still hear people say "nose wheelie" all the time, but I never hear anyone just say "wheelie" about a manual

boneless ,benihana,the grabs indy, stalefish, mute, grind names smith,5-o, grapefriut,salad anyone know where these come from?

[BriDen]

Stalefish was named by Tony Hawk. Jerking off with no lube or anything is called stalefish, so there you go. Not kidding at all.

Isn't a 5-0 just one half of a 50-50?

[smally pooperman]

yea 5-0 ov coarse how fucking regular ov me.

Mike Smith was the first to slap the rail down on fs grinds.

Eric Dressen=Dressing=Dressing goes on salad=Salad grind.

Are you talking about doing the trick first? or just naming it?

i'm just guessing but tony probably did it first but i'm pretty sure the gonz named it.

A biker probably named it.  It is not the equivalent of a wheelie.

embarassing but i remember the first or second tony hawk, doing no complys  i thought it was an error or the game didnt understand the buttons i was pushing

[marginal way]

the amount of bad information in this thread is mind blowing.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Please, correct people where they are wrong.
I was under the impression DP named them indies as a nod to his sponsor.
I don't see why Tony would have done the stalefish first and not named it. He named everything else he did, and a lot of the names were on par with stalefish.

[j....soy.....]

yeah..i'm with ya.....

[Useless Wooden Bench]

I think Gonz might've been the first to grab stale, but Tony Hawk named it after figuring them out at one of those euro summer skate-camps, naming it after what was being served up for dinner every night at the camp.

[Sleazy]

funny how after mc hawk didn't stick tony said screw it and went with 900

the name stalefish first came from surfing, so none of those guys could have come up with the name
