    Ok so a sonic I can understand that the name couldve been for anything, but then there's also shadow!? You put the two together and you get characters from SEGA. I would like to know why. Someone said that it may of been because they were two closely related tricks just like sonic and shadow are two closely related hedgehogs, but aren't all pen tricks closely related in a way?

    sonic because it goes fast.

    shadow because you make a big shadow with your hand facing down.

    those are just guess's.

    Shadow is like sonic, it is just .5 more revolutions.

    the original sonic is named by Hideaki Kondoh. he said because the trick is fast, so its like sonic.

    the shadow is invented by kangandgeon. he named it so because the trick looks like a sonic.

    these namings are really old so now ppl wont say shadow looks like sonic, but in the past ppl thought so when psers weren't as good and there weren't many tricks.

    im not 100% sure

    Anyone that has played Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast can tell you Shadow is sonic's "darker" twin, since the shadow is like sonic but upside down like a "devils sonic" I think the correlation can be argued for smile.gif

    i always thought it was that someone thought that shadow looked liked a "weird sonic" or something...so they called it a shadow cause shadow's that evil version of sonic in the game lol
