What's that trick called...

[The Void]

Talin wasn't sure of this trick's name:

Instagram link! (<--Instavid)
I was going to say it's a Turnover (See "Spike!"), but then I realised he's doing a variation. His is:
Turn, Release (throw, if you like), Catch
as opposed to the 'standard'
Release (throw), Catch & Turn (in one move).

So... "Talin Turnover"?

Really nice trick, surely you can go into loads of variants from there. Thinking it would be amazing with a cheeky JS at the top.

I dont really know many trick names right now but i was curious what this is called? The two things after the pull up kenflip spike.

Cheers

I suppose it's a "part curl"? Not really sure, as I can't see if you're doing a grip change or not.

Was trying to look through this thread and couldnt find it. What is the official name of the trick where you hold the tama-> airplane but instead of spiking it you land the ken on top of the hole balancing it? Someone called it a "bellyflop" but I know there's a different name for it.

You mean this?:
Dead body - record breaker - juggling videos hosted @ Juggling.tv

That is called Dead Body

[shalafi]

I think that's dead body. It was on the EKO list past year

[talincrow]

Yes Dimensions and shalafi! That's what I was looking for!

And i'm going to leave this here for everyone to watch, i'm beyobd hyped that i finally did it! Can you help me name this @thevoid ?

Hey, @Cliffdama , pretty damn neat trick!

Great trick!

Personally I'd call it Aeroplane > Gear Change > 3 Turn Reverse Aeroplane.

#AeroGearChangeTripReverseAero

Wouldn't it be Reverse Gear, @Kev?

Well, Snapback was suggested for the immediate-pull-back-to-spike trick, but it seems that has become known as Yank[1]. That trick involved tugging on the string to reverse the direction of the ball, so I think your trick would be...

1-Turn Yank Reverse 3-Turn Aeroplane

It's debatable whether "Reverse" is needed in there, but I suppose it should be. Theoretically, you could Yank to re-spin in the same direction, right? (I'm pretty sure someone[2] has done something like that...)

Nice work.

1.	Because polysyllabics bad?!
2.	@Dimensions ?

[Kev]

Wouldn't it be Reverse Gear, @Kev?

Ha! Could be. Thing is, all the kendamas I own only have 2 gears - forwards and backwards so Gear Change = Direction change for me 


On a serious note, I think trick names should:

1) Give total clarity of what the trick actually is.
2) In as few words as possible.
3) Sound good.

[The Void]

Ideally, yes. I don't think 1 & 2 are often mutually compatible though!

[Kev]

Absolutely. And 3) is a matter of opinion!

[Dimensions]

I know @CDFraser9 did one here (1:26)

Wow thats some cool stuff and that name sounds right to me! I was playing with it a bit more and found out i can do another set of turns al from that first trow. This is cool to do! ^^

You mean something like
1-Turn Yank 1-Turn Yank 2-Turn Aeroplane
...?
That'd be neat!
