CONTEST: Name the Trick. $25,000 (in Contests)

1. Look at my profile picture.
2. Name the trick *exactly*.
3. Profit

human cloning?

$1000 to Caedmon for a good, but wrong answer.

Chase the Ace

Indy 540

Nope

720 indy or 720 stalefish

nope

Not falling down, thats the real trick here people.

Prelude to a nasty fall? ;-)

is the guy goofy footed or not?

indy 360 - maybe switch depending on the above question

Kashikis,
Good question. I'm regular-footed. That impacts the name of the trick.
I'd give you $5000 for picking that up but then you had to go and insult me by saying 360.

720 Melloncolly?

Not a mellon 720

indy 720

360 melon grab

Not an Indy 7 and next person that says 360 owes me $5000.

indy nosebone 720?

not a nosebone 7. Come on guys, at least get the number right.

if not that, than 720 shifty

are you trying to say i missed the grab?

Backside Indy 720.

fs inverted 720

Summary of hints so far:

1. No one has gotten the rotation correct.
2. I'm regular-footed (will be full-time goofy next year due to knee problems)
3. Has nothing to do with human cloning.

Glory, I've never landed a FS Invert 7 (aka McTwist) but i tore my rotator cuff and knocked myself out trying.

cut and paste in photoshop?

fs rodeo 540

Not a rodeo.

.. and definitely not a 5

If nobody has rotation correct yet you are saying this is a 900?

I highly doubt it first off followed by the fact that there is only just 2 turns in that picture definately not 2 and a half

I have blow up the pic and if this isn't a 720 then I am blind. It looks like a fs 720 grab or a switch fs 720

I'm no expert, but the key frame seems to be the third. The orientation of the board seems out of place compared to the second and fourth exposure. Does that help anyone?

From the angle of the pic, you can't see the kicker, or the direction i was going before the take off (goofy or regular) but you can make a pretty logical guess by looking at my arms on the first picture and the direction of my board on the second.

Indy 1080

not an indy 1080.

Indy 900?

Iron leg,
you're not wrong, but you're not entirely incorrect.

indy 900 then, the pic is not clear even when blow up...

fs indy 900

rephrase "indy 900"
Not wrong but not entirely correct.

indy 540

Switch Indy 900?

So close Glory.

Iron leg is on the right track. just used the wrong term.

mmm, hard to guess. I also think it is a FS Indy 900.
Wondering what it really is :p

fs indy 900 grab

If I were goofy-footed, it wood be an FS Indy 9.

Stalefish 900

bs indy 900

Fakie Indy 900?

BS Indy 900 then :p

Iron Leg is just about there but he just doesn't have the right term.

goofy indy 900

FS 900 Japan

not goofy indy 900.

Nollie Indy 900 :S LoL

I don't know any other way to say fakie or switch if that's the issue... =)

tweaked indy 900

Japan... hmmm. Isn't that like a reverse Method? Too many grab names to remember them all, but that's not the answer.

fs indy 540

Reverse Indy 900?

I've heard a lot of people say "tweak" in different ways that I'm not even sure what it means anymore.

I don't skate, I don't snowboard. But I do know all kinds of tricks. And I cannot guess this one :S

The first word can be a little obscure, i guess.

Hint #1. It's named after a person.

Count me out, don't know what ever it could be. But I'm sure it ends with Indy 900

Caballerial Indy 900

smith indy 900

Salt comes out of no where and win $25k.

More commonly referred to as
Cab 900 Indy

Good Job Salt3d. Better a clanmember then just a dude :p lol

It's not indy, he's not grabbing the board anywhere. It's just a plain old 900, looks like. I can't be the first to guess that.

A cab is only a 360 :) quote from one of my favorite snowboarding sites: Caballerial (Cab) A trick in the halfpipe which begins fakie, spins 360 degrees, and lands riding forward. Named after skateboarding guru, Steve Caballero. Also see Half-Cab and Gay Twist Number one, you are not in a pipe as far as I can tell, two, you spun more than 360. Not entreily accurate in my opinion.

Almuric you obviously weren't looking that well. All through the first turn he is grabbing the board.

Geez Almuric,
I'm 32 years-old. that's 95 years-old in snowboarding years. At this age, it's close enough.

A cab is any spin where you take off on your opposite direction.

Zog, I think what Almuric is referring to is maintaining the grab through the whole jump.

So by glory's definition I'm right?

That's exactly the same definition as I found, Glory. I just knew it'd be right after Jibfest said it was named after a person.

That was really entertaining. I only caught the business end of it, though. :)

Jibfest (RailRider) salt3d (Saints) $25000 -- Cab 900 Indy 5:14 PM EST

OK, you're right. I see he's grabbing the board. My bad.

Cabs were originally 360's, though, but I guess that's changed.

If you guys want to get that specific, a Cab can only be done on a skateboard.

We're using today's definition.

So the whole point of this was for me to figure out who the snowboarders on CB are.

So who are the snowboarders on CB?
Who are the skateboarders?

"A trick in the half-pipe, which begins fakie, spins 360 degrees, and lands riding forward." Why would you not be able to do that on a snowboard?

I skate board a bit, and if I want to get hurt, I snow board.

My housemate, sssimmo, is a snowboarder. I find that attempting anything requiring coordination and balance is dangerous for me. ;)

Salt3d,
you should try longboard surfing. if you can stand up on a sidewalk, you can stand up on a longboard. if you fall, you just land in water.

So the guy that isn't a snowboarder jumps in on the post and wins? Sounds like we all aren't very good snowboarders then :P Or at least all but Mr. Cab 900 Indy.

I don't board, but my play station controller makes a great snowboard. Thank all my years of Cool Boarders for me having any chance here.
