    Should the Neobackaround be renamed to Fingerless Shadow?

    I think so, because the trick:

    · Works like a Shadow, just with a fingerless push
    · Is not a Backaround or an Around

    If we deprecate the name Neobackaround, a Neobak Normal would be a Fingerless Shadow Reverse, and a Neobak Reverse a Fingerless Shadow Normal.

    Just because it failed then doesn't mean it's going to fail now. Why did it fail to go through last time? Seems very valid and consolidates trick naming. We've done similar things with tricks before and it's been widely accepted.

    to me neobakaround is a bakaround with a different ending position, it's the situation as shadow 12-t1 vs shadow 12-12.

    so i think if neobackaround is depreciated, backaround will also be depreciated as fingerless reverse shadow ..-t1

    To me it's just one of those things that's so embedded into peoples' brains, it's pointless to try to change. If the name Neobackaround were causing confusion or something, then maybe, but everyone knows what it is/uses it correctly, so I don't see any reason to try to "fix" the notation.


    lol at Zombo, if bak were changed to anything wouldn't it be fl IA Rev?

    To me, I think that the neobak can be named FL. shadow rev. because there are quite a few tricks that have more than one name like the TA to air is also named TA ~ index spread release for example so why can't neobal have 2 names as well.
