Swingthru or Swingthrough

[jamesters]

Which is the proper way to spell it? Swingthrough might seem more proper but then again "walkthru" seems to be the proper spelling when it comes to video game guides. I really need to know how I should spell it!!!11

Also, are there any good guides for tricking definitions? Like mostly basic definitions such as axe, swingthru, etcetera.

[saunders]

swingthrough is correct (or probably 'swing through' if you want to be a grammar nazi)
swingthru is short
sthru is even shorter
and s/t is for lazy people
and if you are really really lazy (like me) you can leave the s/t out and shorten, for instance, 'butterfly twist swing through corkscrew' to 'twistcork' :nervous:

also, 'walkthru'? never heard of that. walkthrough :good:

as for your second question: DPT explains the transitions really well on his website http://www.aeriformmat.com/terminology.html

[jamesters]

So far I think dpitlock has answered my question the best in this thread. Thanks Dan PPlock! :smile: Also, saunders, on www.gamefaqs.com that's the only way they spell it is walkthru, then again maybe that site has just conformed to slang and it should be walkthrough. Okay, ya it seems it's true, I searched google and it shows walkthrough as the proper spelling so it must be swingthrough as well. I'll check out that site right now saunders.

Oh crud, thanks for reminding me, I better get on that right away brbr. (You spelled yourned wrong :worry: )

when u axe ur leg down (granted its not just the axe itself) you're either doing an axe2 or carrythru (c/t, carry through, cah-re true)

[saunders]

well not really.

axe is a kick on its own so the axe itself wouldn't be a swingthrough, but the transition from axe kick to aerial could be described as a swingthrough. and even that isn't entirely correct because:

im not entirely sure of this (and someone correct me if im wrong): when your leg travels backwards, swinging into another move (like websterswitch2webster, or axe2aerial), it is a carrythrough and not a swingthrough. so if you want to get real technical about it the proper terminology would be 'axe c/t aerial' ( in which c/t stands for carrythrough obviously).

so in short:
when your leg swings forward into another move the transition is called 'swingthrough' (s/t).
when your leg swings backward into another move the transition is called 'carrythrough' (c/t).

and then there are other transitions like 'stepover', 'missleg' and 'wrapthrough' etc but i cant be bothered to explain that right now since it's irrelevent atm, but if you want me to explain i'll pm you. (or even better: ask ambitrixterous (dan perez) because he is like a walking tricking bible)

again, someone please correct me if im wrong.

but yeah a lot of ppl call carrythroughs 'swingthroughs', and thats why some ppl define axe2aerial as an axe s/t aerial. personally im not to bothered with that.

I think it would still be classed as a swing through, iv always though that carrythroughs are done from hook kick like motions where the momentum travels laterally as opposed to up/down. Also i wouldnt class grandmaster as a transition as it is refering to a trick.

im not sure on the c/t thing, but you could be correct on the grandmaster thing, that why i removed it in my edited post. i just see grandmaster as a transition because there are many possibilities with it like gms, gmt and gmsnapu for example. and besides i dont really know a better name for 'the sideways swingthru'. :eh::wink:

[Iikkap]

wtf, are there actually native english speakers confused enough not to know how to spell "through" correctly.

wow.

[JiayoJames]

Haha.

this thread was decided with this statement.

[Ambitrixterous]

Real quick on the difference between s/t & c/t (spell each however you want) if you describe combinations in terms of tricks with transitions:

"Axeto" & "Gainer" are takeoffs, separate names for the same action in opposite directions. Used to describe things like "gainer flash" or "axeto front"

"Swingthru" is a transition, and works backwards or forwards so you could say something like "frontflip stepout swingthru front" or "backflip stepout swingthru back"

"Carrythru" is a effed-up swinghthru, (whether on purpose or on accident) & still a transition, so it fits anywhere a swingthru WOULD except there's a very slight adaptation in movement which causes a small hop/angular change for the next trick and it can also work backwards or forwards.


IF


You describe combos in Sessh's style where you can sort of cut & paste the exact trick without the transition, the following changes would be made to the above examples:

-Frontflip stepout > axeto front
-Backflip stepout > gainer

I could have spelled every word wrong and it still wouldn't had made me look like a bigger dumbass than you.

naaaah I'm with saunders, I consider webster switch > aerial/brandy/webster to be carrythrough, not swingthrough.

wtf, are there actually native english speakers confused enough not to know how to spell "through" correctly.

wow.

just to be an annoying pedant rather than someone running with a joke, we're discussing terminology/nomenclature within tricking, rather than how the word is actually spelt.

...which is, in itself, a little redundant, given that the gradient of "swingthrough" all the way down to "s/t" is purely relative to laziness/shorthand/whatevz.

:good:

[dpitlock]

You spelled wouldn't have wrong. :tongue:

and you should still be put in a hospital.

[Augenatic]

i see a swingthrough as something that goes back or forwards, like a btwist s/t gainer or a websterswitch s/t webster, while a carrythrough for me is c720 c/t 540 or c720 c/t raiz
