    switch cork zero spin? eh?

    hmm. . .


    so would that be backwards, falling over, and, well. . . still backwards?


    seriously, who's got ideas on this? es posible? because if it is, i'd love to see it.

    Wouldn't it just be: go off backwards, lean to one side, recover, land? But then again, can you do a "no spin" "off axis"? Does a spin have an axis if there's no spin to it? Damn, I'll be debating this w/ myself for hours...

    does a jibmonkey still rock it if no one saw him bust the rail?

    Wink

    Sorry to interrupt the Geritol Convention here but:

    Zero spin = take off switch, don't rotate, land switch.
    Switch zero spin = newschool joke name for "straight air"

    Cork = off axis, so if you threw a cork in there, you'd just fall over.

    In short, it's a joke.

    don't forget the killer spread, although that looks more like a 90 instead of a zero spin.

    I can kill the 90's and 270's like nobodies bidness.

    I thought a zero spin was going up forwards and coming down backwards... obligatorily on a quarter or half pipe?

    This is much too confusing for the average gaper to be a good joke...

    Kids,..... all these crazy names can get confusing..... somebody should start up a dictionary of new skool twin tip lingo to make this sport we love a little easier for everyone to understand .........considering the progressive direction(I love when people talk about progressing the sport) skiing or "riding" is going.

    It's probably already been said but.....
    Zero spin= taking off backwards, no spin ,landing backwards
    Switch zero spin= straight air no spin........hahaha
