megaside or megabackside?
Here's a combo that has both megasides (from front outside crank, and from back outside crank)... so Dale and I have been arguing about this for a while now: should we call it megaside or megabackside? And which one is blind and which is regular? Here's my argument: it is technically a backside jump, so it should be called megabackside. I've done a variation of it that is technically a side jump, so that one can be called megaside. I think the one from front outside crank position should be called "blind" because if you add a spin (which spins in the same direction as the wrap), it would be blind (using "away from front foot" as my definition for blind). So, in this clip, I would say it's a blind megabackside, then a regular megabackside. Dale's argument: Megaside is much less of a mouthful than blind megabackside. And since 99% of the time, riders are doing the variation from front outside crank position (the first one in the video), then it would make more sense to simply call it megaside, especially in a competition setting. The one from back outside crank should be blind megaside because it's slightly less common. So, Dale would say that in this clip, it's a megaside, then a blind megaside. What are you guys' thoughts? πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“
