what do you think are the worst trick names out there

like mobius has to be 1 of the worst named tricks in board sports

and p.s. does anyone else hate it when people give a new name to a trick cause they grabbed it different or added a extra 180, still the same trick to me now it's tail not stale or 5 instead of 3 right?

Billion Dollar Baby and The Ozzie Smith get my vote.

Well there are some names out there that i dont necessarily think are great (billion dollar baby, dum dum, OHH, etc) but if you were the pioneer of that trick you can name it whatever the eff you want! haha
And i respect their ingenuity enough to not questions them. Thats just my take on this post

danny harf in the movie "free4all" has one of the sickest straight air grabs of all time. What was it? a tweeked, poked, t/s tindy off the double up :-) (i think its at the 2:22 mark)

Danny has a sick tindy

Cock and Balls, Flavor Flip, Iron Cross, Fruit Loop, Billion Dollar Baby [just cause it doesn't sound like the name of a trick], Bee Sting, Oriental, S-Bend, Chicken Salad, Roast Beef, Canadian Bacon, Method, Stiffy, Special K, Spiderman, Slurpy, Wrecking Ball, Eggroll, WhirlyDick,

...are all really cool tricks, as for wakeboarding tricks that have weird names, I can't think of any.

The weird names are part of what makes wakeboarding unique, I'd rather hear crowmobe than frontflip 360, I don't know why though. [It does kinda bug me when an announcer or someone says crowmobe 5 instead of crow 5 or scarecrow mobious insted of crowmobe...]

trevor, i think the only announcer that says "scarecrow mobius 540 degree rotation with a melancholy grab" is dan-o

Any of the "dick" names

why is mobius one of the worst names? it's one of the only ones that makes any sense, the word means "circle within a circle", which i think is pretty cool

crowbius is actually a pretty sick name.

I like the off the wall names. Its creative and sets our sport apart. I hate when people refer to slim chances and HS mobes as front and back mobes. The only pet peeve I can think of on this subject is that a batwing with a late BS 3 doesnt have a special name, its just a batwing blind 3. I dont know what I want it to be, even TS BS 313 sounds better to me though. Maybe 314, 413, 414? I dunno
