A NEW TRICKING TERM!!!

[Taimatsu]

...now, this isn't any kind of Danny Perez TKT rant, about true kicks or anything. I just think it's an awesome new term that has universal terminology usage. It is only an identifying word to describe what side your tricking on.
BASICALLY if you are doing ANY trick on your opposite side, or your "bad" side, It would be considered to be a "DARKSIDE" trick.

"Doood! Did you see my friggin darkside jacknife!?!"

Cepopeye came up with it many moons ago, and I fell in love with it. Surprising I just thought of it again.

All in favor, say "I agree with Taimatsu!"

(Also works: "fuck yea, seaking!")

All opposed, say "I'm a nancy boy, with a cotton plug in my bloody hole"

[Dark Twista]

I agree with Taimatsu

[Siphin]

fuck yeah seaking!

[gabrielb]

lol skilzat join the darkside!

[Maha]

I AGREE WITH taimATSU

[crazyhalfasian]

haha that does sounds better than "bad"

[Taimatsu]

haha that does sounds better than "bad"

"I did a cart-full on my bad side."

The term just sounds like the move you did was shit, even though maybe it wasn't.

Darkside is just coooooooool.

[Dave C]

I'll have to agree with Taimatsu on this one

[ShuFFs]

I agree with Taimatsu!

BASICALLY if you are doing ANY trick
and now we will get a bunch of threads about people worrying about darkside backtucks as soon as someone makes a misleading youtube video about it. =D

yeah doesn't a "Darkside Cart-full" sound sweet?!:smile:

[Braka]

I AGREE

[Cicero]

It's impossible to know what a trickster's natural tricking side is unless you know them. So a Darkside trick may be to the right, or to the left, depending on the person.

However it's still a cool idea. Here's an idea:

Lightside (a trickster that is right handed: Uses the right leg to kick in 540, uses right leg to swing into corks, uses left leg to hook, etc.)

Darkside (a trickster that is left handed: Uses the left leg to kick in 540, uses left leg to swing into corks, uses right leg to hook, etc.)

That way, when you meet a trickster you can ask what kind of trickster he is predominantly and he has a choice between lightside and darkside.

Of course that can also mean that a predominantly lightside trickster can have darkside tricks as well and vice versa...


I know this wouldn't solve the "bad side" thing, but I thought it's a cool idea and I should throw it out there.

[generalbbb]

stfu

[ChrisMack]

Fuck yeah. im down like james brown

[Cory]

i don't do opposite side tricks (darkside tricks) so it doesn't matter to me


a.k.a: I'm a nancy boy, with a cotton plug in my bloody hole

[Gumby]

fuck yea, seaking!

My intention was to just hilight the second side that they learned the move on.

I understand what you're trying to say, because there's no way to tell if someone is tricking on their "darkside" and have credit due, unless the audience is JUST that damn observant, or the tricker simply announces it.

Despite that, I simply have a preference for the original intention.

It works with any exception (even my own). Despite my tumbling twisting, always going to the right, and my kicks having always been on the left, the technicality remains, that there is ALWAYS a darkside to my tricks (except backflips). So I, personally wouldn't fit into your categories.

....that, and I don't like categorizing trickers.

[Ryan Sas]

Wow...

Maybe it's just me, but I always figured people referred to an opposite side trick as "bad side" not because it's some forgotten, malnourished, vendictive child, but because it's uncomfortable, and generally, looks BAD. Darkside really implies that there's something special and forbidden about doing things on the opposite side. I'm just saying: I think it's a little bit ridiculous to go about creating new terms for old concepts that already have definitive labels. Call something darkside when you do a 1080 with your sith-powered lightsabre instead of kicking.

[Scooba Dave]

i telll people i twist in the same direction my cock leans in.

May the force be with you Cicero.

Tricking you are not; posting in forums too much you are!

[Cicero]

Of course I trick "Mr. I'm-so-high-and-mighty-that-I-can-talk-down-upon-others-that-I-barely-know".

Thanks for showing how much of an asshole you can be. I'll be sure to avoid you as much as I can if I ever meet you.

[BobReturns]

Cicero why are you such an angry fish?

[Cicero]

I'm actually quite the happy individual.

[Spyder_V]

I'm down like syndrome with this idea.

I like the ring of it. I mean, bad side or darkside, it really refers to the same thing. However, to those who do a "bad side" move cleanly and nicely, it is true that it does give it a somewhat negative connotation. Darkside makes it special, because I believe that in all honesty, doing a move cleanly on your bad side IS special... just like every one of us...

GROUP HUG!

[erufukami]

Cicero's idea of categorizing tricksters is the same way snowboarders are categorized. Goofy and standard. However, there are many people that are right hand dominate and still do 540s with their left leg. Traditionally, all 540s were done with the left foot. So ~70% of us would be "goofy footed" tricksters.

ANYWAY:
I fully support the transition from "bad side" to "DARKSIDE".

I never knew that :OOO

But now I do :D

Thanks Kami

[Spyder_V]

Thanks Kami

The more you know.

[erufukami]

I'd like to take this chance to say that " r_V " has always looked like an emo face to me. Not the person... but like.... ^_^ is a happy face.

The more you know.

have you ever watched a danny perez sampler OR a ben brown sampler, OR a Jamie Colon sampler, OR a Matt Emig sampler, OR a Dan Pitlock sampler?



...cuz if not, then you're missing out on some SIGNIFICANT insight on this thread. :good:



And please, no more star wars references.


Side note: I am NOT taking credit for this term. You folks may thank Cepopeye.

[Scott]

Being a right=sided trickster must be horrible after this.

"Hay guise, I just did a darkside jacknife- darkside btwist swing darkside cork - darkside back half axe swing darkside axe aerial - darkside flashswitch"

Phew.

Wait? What does being a right sided tricker have to do with that?

[Anima]

Fuck yeah seaking!

[Scott]

YOU ARE CORRECT, SUBTLE SORROW!



As in doing all your tricks to the right, IN OTHAR WORDS DA WRAWNG SIDE.


Unless everyone over there do their tricks to the right, for some weird reason.

[TKD_Andy]

lol, plus comme darkside mcNasty....

invented in the UK years ago. Credit goes to mickey/dave

[Scott]

IF I FOLLOW THE LIGHT SIDE, I WILL EVENTUALLY GAIN BECOME TEMPORARY INVINCIBLE AND BE ABLE TO HEAL MY WOUNDS.


Catch da refarency.

[Taimatsu]

Perhaps I was wrong!

I suppose i just heard cepopeye bring it up, then.

Either way, I likes the term.



Tricking has some badass names in general anyways. Some are deep rooted in the traditional martial arts, and others are just sharp and cool, like boxcutter, and snapauswipe.


...i do not, however enjoy the name "Kack roll". Blech.

[Cicero]

IF I FOLLOW THE LIGHT SIDE, I WILL EVENTUALLY GAIN BECOME TEMPORARY INVINCIBLE AND BE ABLE TO HEAL MY WOUNDS.


Catch da refarency.

While it certainly does sound silly, I think the same can be said about all tricks (the most obvious example being a Flashkick)

[TKD_Andy]

Perhaps I was wrong!

I suppose i just heard cepopeye bring it up, then.

Either way, I likes the term.


maybe dave mentioned it at TXT to him or something.

I just remember years ago dave and mickey using it as a pisstake term, but it is pretty badass so im glad it can have a proper use!

[Melf]

I agree with Taimatsu...

[Hadyn]

I agree with Taimatsu! I also remember this from ages back.

[Spyder_V]

I'd like to take this chance to say that " r_V " has always looked like an emo face to me. Not the person... but like.... ^_^ is a happy face.

You bring up a good point r_V

Hahaha, you're right!

[Skippy]

I heavily agree with Taimatsu.

[A1eXXX]

I agree with Taimatsu!

[Hyourinmaru]

damn.. darkside tricks...
i'm gonna devote myself completely to this ;D

[Augenatic]

fuck yeahh seaking
sea fucking king

[Dragonic MiKe]

maybe dave mentioned it at TXT to him or something.

I just remember years ago dave and mickey using it as a pisstake term, but it is pretty badass so im glad it can have a proper use!

As I recall, User Name and I invented this term for exactly this purpose.

BUT MAYBE I'M TRIPPING ON SHROOMS!>!?!?!??!?!

(I'm not tripping on shrooms).

[A_Wilhelm]

I agree with Taimatsu

[NoMore]

I agree with Taimatsu!

[Birch]

I shall join this bandwagon.

[TKD_Andy]

haha who knows man ^^

i want to give mickey credit because that guy is just made of lolz.

I just remember having an epic conversations with him about backflips while he was sat in a toy space ship outside KFC in rugby. UK gathering 2005 was the best.

[Dave]

I uno, it'd be good to see a sway away from tricking terms which are confusing. Opposite side works fine I think... it accurately describes what you did plus the general public would be able to understand.

[frankinstine]

"I'm a nancy boy, with a cotton plug in my bloody hole"

[*L-V*]

I agree!

Darkside trickers, sounds good to me!

[saunders]

lol i always used to name badsided moves with 'mirror' as a prefix.
like an aerial on your badside would be called 'mirror aerial'.

but darkside sounds better haha.
still it sounds kinda nerdy tbh
"zomg i just did a darkside flashswitch axe2darkside hyperswipe!"
but then again tricking terminology sounds nerdy anyway haha

[frankinstine]

I think Darkside sounds too videogamey.

[Dave]

Yeah it sounds like some star wars weiner brigade crap. Plus it's superfluous and unnecessery.

[Kay]

I Agree With Taimatsu!

[Kenji]

thats a great fucking idea timatsu

[Rakamarasu]

The darkside is fun !

[tricker383]

i learnt to darkside btwist today, i like the new name sounds good

[Adam Ross]

So just like when you would grind a rail on the griptape of a skateboard, you are doing a trick on the wrong side?
Easy to live by.

[tdmonster]

Darkside masturbation is boring.

[generalbbb]

darkside sounds retarded and takes the cool away from tricking by pretending to be cool.

[TKD_Andy]

haha i love how people are taking this far too seriuz.

"JOO CANT TELL ME WHAT TO CALL IT!!!11111oneone"

if you dont like it, dont use the name haha

[generalbbb]

blowing things out of proportion andy?

[TKD_Andy]

blowing things out of proportion andy?

nah, im taking the piss out of people who are trying to say its an affront to tricking and how it detracts from the rest of the terminology.

like all other parts of terminology, if you dont like it then dont use it.

[uFail]

Fuck yeah Taimatsu King!

[Cicero]

darkside sounds retarded and takes the cool away from tricking by pretending to be cool.

You're retarded, and you take the cool away from tricking.

[TKD_Andy]

You're retarded, and you take the cool away from tricking.

he also needs his 'safety box' to trick

[BobReturns]

K I agree with Taimatsu.

[Tamonten]

Seaking, fuck yeah!!

[Ewasiuk]

I do not agree with someone who isn't Taimatsu.

[Taimatsu]

haha i love how people are taking this far too seriuz.

"JOO CANT TELL ME WHAT TO CALL IT!!!11111oneone"

if you dont like it, dont use the name haha

Haha! It's true.

But I do love the internet arguements, because I'm impossible to piss off. :smile:

[Augenatic]

And that is by far the best attitude, haha.

[shengoikee]

THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE?!

i need some custom terminology to describe my thoughts (mostly discust) with the tricking community :smile:

[Taimatsu]

THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE?!

hahaha! Brighten up, you gloomy chap! Just fight with me to bring TKT into the tricking world! :cool:

[shengoikee]

haha! i'm actually quite cheerful! it's a pity text is so toneless otherwise people would see that :tongue:

[XiLeraTe]

I AGREE! ye! Taimatsu.

[Mr.Parafuso]

I agree with Seaking, Fuck yeah Taimatsu

[Yarr]

fuck yea, seaking!

[generalbbb]

he also needs his 'safety box' to trick

low blow andy. glad our arguments are intelligent at least.

[Dragonic MiKe]

haha who knows man ^^

i want to give mickey credit because that guy is just made of lolz.

I just remember having an epic conversations with him about backflips while he was sat in a toy space ship outside KFC in rugby. UK gathering 2005 was the best.

I concur... with everything. :smile:

[Cicero]

Speaking about Mickey, I havent seen him post here in a while. What's new with him?

[dpitlock]

Wow...

from random posts from you im starting to not like you.

[daviddalo]

i love taimatsu oh babeh :good:

[Snoski]

'Darkside' is imo too cool of a name to represent a trick on one's bad side haha

I think you should wait until you come up with a cooler thing to name darkside, as for inverted backside move or such. Oh well, enough text that will make no difference on TT anyway.

[Ryan Sas]

from random posts from you im starting to not like you.

sorry to hear that. but i still think making up extraneous names is stupid and i'm even a little surprised that the whole thing was taken so seriously. that being said call your tricks what you like and think of me what you will, it's your prerogative-- i don't care.

[Tim Hutchinson]

Can I just say, it was me who told this to Ceypopeye at the last gym session at TXT07 when I did an Aerial>DS540 (Aerial left then from that landing do a 540 the other way).

[capbboy]

so what do u call the Brasilians that do everything to both ways. I mean u can't even tell which side they dominate more unless u know them personally.

[Butteroll]

I agree with Cepopeye. And Taimatsu.

[Deinamight]

fuck yea, seaking!

[Meegz]

I agree with taimatsoup. good side be referred to as "sunny side".
Even though you wouldnt normally annouce that you're doing tricks on your good side, incase the term's needed, it should be there. It also sounds extremely gay, which suits.

[D. Mitris]

i wholeheartedly agree!!
it's probably the coolest term in tricking...
