enderzero 0 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Quick Japanese shorthand for spinning anything bigger than a 180 is the first number with a "B" before it if it's backside. Backside 360 = B3 "bee-tu-ree" There is some word like "na-tu-ra-ru" for frontside I heard as well but can't remember. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I've heard japanese friends call tricks off a kicker or park jump, "wan me-ku" (one make). "Yo I saw this dude pull a nasty 'make' in the park this weekend" gross! Link to post Share on other sites
