# you know
if u used real trick names, it would be even more ludicrous, of course that kinda contradicts my post below, but what the hell

# well generally
the numbers refer to the degrees of rotation, eg a 180 ollie (a standard jump, named after the first guy who did one) would be an ollie with a 180 degree rotation mid air

most of the names are rather odd, but they generally have a logical explanation. some are pretty straight forward tho, eg kick flip, heel flip, 360 flip

# What about...
The ones who skate up an down the wall outside the university biochemistry department when I'm trying to have a supervision. All I can here is the grinding sound of their skateboards. Oh, and one of them decided somehow that painting something (a name of their 'gang' I guess) on the steps outside the building somehow made them cool. No, sorry. 1) It's not exactly difficult. 2) It didn't even show artistic talent.

Besides, all but one of the skaters I've know has been a dropout who decided that not only did they not want an education but they may as well ruin everyone elses. Thankfully that was all a few years ago now.
