and if anyone else thinks it should be called 180 downside whip and doesnt understand why its called 360, ill tell youbrandon kilbury said:
downside whip only refers to the direction of the whip from reference to the spin not the fact that you 180 in it (you dont call an air a 180 air do you?). its called downside whip because the term was created to refer to a whip in opposite direction of the air when riding in vert, hense when you do a downside whip in vert the deck whips down instead of up. so technically when you do a downside whip to fakie its really a 180 downside whip but you just say downside for short. add another 180 and that is how you get the 360 downside whip
bk, i dont know if you wanna add that but its just there now in case people are wondering

In skateboarding, the definitions are confusing and are used very inconsistently depending on what kind of trick is performed. A trick that involves rotation (such as a 180 ollie) is called frontside if after the first 90 degrees of rotation the skateboarder is facing forward. The exceptions to this rule are fakie tricks, for which the definition is reversed. For example, a fakie frontside 180 (also known as a frontside half-Cab) looks like a nollie backside 180 but it is referred to as frontside because it is essentially a frontside 180 performed while going backwards. The fakie exception does not cover switch tricks, which are named like regular tricks.
For rotations a simple rule is: clockwise is backside for regular-foot skaters. Clockwise is frontside for goofy-foot skaters. This simple rule apllies in all stances (normal, switch, fakie, nollie).
For slides and grinds, the trick is called frontside if the skateboarder approaches the obstacle with his chest facing it. This is somewhat counterintuitive in tricks like the backside board slide where the skateboarder approaches the obstacle with his or her back towards it but then turns 90 degrees and slides forward. The fakie exception mentioned above does not cover these tricks.
If you're in doubt what to name a slide/grind imagine doing the trick on a ramp. For instance the boardslide on a ramp is a backside move, though you'll have to ollie frontside to get into it on street obstacles.

either do an oppo spin or an oppo whip, or not do them at all. or i guess you could do a 360 downside whip.TomBorsari said:

i always thought if my toes were facing left and i spun left it would be front side. doesnt that mak sense? cause if i was regular and did a bs spin. id spin counter clockwise with my back leading, so wouldnt that be backside?
Brian Boston
I got myself banned.
Backside. Like in the post above, if your 90 degreese into the spin and your back is facing forward, its backside. If you spin right and your chest if facing forward, its frontside.Crackthesky said:
