It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards

Love you Kevin, busting out all the names.

Yeah all those names are perfect. Some more corrosponding names.

Blind hickflip - hardflip
Hickbackflip - Varial heelflip
Blind Hickbackflip - Inward Heelflip
Treybackflip - Laserflip
360flip - 360 kickflip

Frontside and Backside tricks corrospond to regular and blind. However
the difficulty of the fs and bs relate to the skater, some find it
easier to do bs easier than fs, and the other way around.
Stances (which doesn't work well for a relation)
Board / Uni
Normal - Normal
Fakie - Fakie
Switch - Switch
Nollie - Fakie Switch (really dumb)

impossible (flip the frame around the wheel while riding) = double

Sorry 'bout intruding here, I don't belong because I'm not very good yet
and this isn't about skating, but I have a question. Okay, so it'll
seem very dumb, but I would like to see someone find a massive rail to
grind that's high enough to get on and flip the frame in a circle
before the end of the grind. I hope that made sense to someone. I
don't think anyone could/would do it, but it's a cool idea to me
nonetheless.

It has been tried a couple times, by Dan Heaton for sure, and probably
many others who fooled around with it. It is definitely posible, the
trick is finding the right ledge. Someone will do it someday...maybe
it will be YOU.

Has anyone ever grinded on both pedals at the same time? Like you jump
up on to two parallel rails that are close enough to put a pedal on
each one. I got the idea from a skate video in which this guy does a
noseslide and a tailslide at the same time. Like in this video 'here'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJqizq2FjFY).

For Sure. First I have to try a grind. Right now I'm a little busy
breaking my seat with a sideways ww.

Kevin is 100% right, it would all be about to ledge. The trick would go
down first or second try if the right ledge was found. However the
ledge may not be the problem. This trick has to be done with your crank
on the object. For stability, once you throw your seat you can't have
your crank dangling by the pedal on the ledge, this would create wobble
and there goes the energy for the seat to come around. Having the
cranks on the ledge poses the big problem for the width of the seat.
Your seat will hit the ledge when coming around. So really, either get
a super skinny seat and this would be easy, or find a ledge the sticks
out from it's foundation, start sliding, throw the seat behind you, so
it completely misses the ledge, and when it comes around, it's past the
ledge again in front of you.
