I know that hang-5 is taken from BMX as one foot is on front peg but, doesn't a hang-5 already literally mean that 5 toes are hanging despite the location of your other foot?

Some people on BMX bikes do hang-10's: yes, they just sit on their saddle and all 10 toes are hanging while doing a nosemanual, and there's no diffirence if the feet would be on the front peg or on the pedal, since they are NOT. Just like for hang-5's the location of your foot is irrelevant.

I reckon: "hang 5" = "one-footed nosemanual",
since 5 toes are hanging, hence the name "hang-5"

sorry to disagree but a bmxer that i know and knows whats up says there not hang tens there hang nothings. because it doesn't mean your foot hanging on it means the tows hanging off the pegs. he can hang nothing a b-ball court so he knows whats up

About the whole hang five/ten thing, that came from surfing. In surfing a hang ten is where both feet are at the front of the board with your (ten) toes hanging off, and a hang five would be the same but one footed. So a no footed nose manual is a hang nothing, and is also near impossible on a scooter, unless you can sit down on the deck and hold a nose manual with your feet off.

i always though inward meant front, outward meant back. i thought josh toy started using them to describe scooterflips/bris, he got it from inward/outward impossibles in skateboarding.

i never really heard anyone describe it how conor does, though.

I always use "frontside briflip" instead of "inward briflip". Same with "BS" and "outward". Isn't it right?
And as for me it is really hard not to mix up one footed nose manny and hang five.
Other than that, that's quite a usefull thread!

BS and FS are for degrees and grinds/slides, not referred to the direction of a flip.
Don't tell me you call backflips and frontflips as "frontside flips" and "backside flips", do you?

Otherwise, how would you determine if a person rides goofy stance and does briflips on his left side or on his right side? FS briflip would mean that he would do an outward direction briflip on his left as his frontside if he's riding goofy, and BS briflip would mean he would do an outward type of briflip on his right side as the backside.

Well... I read it right here

It is not reffered to the direction of the flip, it's just for finding out if the scooter rotates on the right or on the left side.
For example, I ride goofy and I do BS briflips. Matt McKeen rides regular and he does FS briflips. Maxime Legrand rides goofy and he can do both variants =]
And inward-outward? Hm... I just don't use these words.

HOLY SHIT. No i'm getting pissed. Those terms are not replaced. Start reading instead of assuming. Inward means in front of the feet. Outward means behind the feet. So you can do "inward front scooter flips" or "outward front scooter flips". Or "inward back bris" or "outward back bris". Or "inward back scooter flip" or "outward back scooter flips". Or "inward front bris" or "outward front bris". UNDERSTAND. Those terms are not replaced. Inward and outward just clarify what side you're flipping the scooter on.

The link showed BK's story, which is exactly like what i posted. If you ride in regular stance and you rotate your scooter in front of you, then it's FS, no matter the direction of the scooterflip itself (it can be an FS briflip or FS front briflip for example). If you rotate your scooter BEHIND you, then it's BS (BS briflip and BS front briflip).

Me and Greg created a list of some scooter terms that needed to be clarified and/or modernized. If you have any more stuff that is commonly misunderstood, just post it and I'll edit it in.

HEADSETS


Threadless Ã?¢ââ??‰â?¬Å? A threadless headset includes a top cap without threads on the inside. These require a threadless fork to function properly.

Wrong. Should be, "These work with both threaded and threadless forks."

Well for a threadless headset to function PROPERLY, you should use a threadless fork. This is because the shim that fits between the top cap and bearings is supposed to squeeze against a THREADLESS fork to keep exactly center. It's not a noticable difference, but you should be using a threadless fork on a threadless headset, but once again, it doesn't really matter.
