OK this is getting ridiculous

Is it me or is skateboarding getting ridiculous with the names of the tricks.... seriously dude. It doesn't stop there. Go to a different skate park or city and the names are different there as well!  All I'm saying is that we need to slow down on these names cause its getting over whelming.  Here are a list of some tricks.....you be the judge O_O


360 flip / 360 kickflip / treflip
The skateboarder does a backside 360 pop shove-it, kicks the board to initiate a kickflip and spins the board in a backside 360 shove-it, thereby doing a kickflip and a backside 360 pop shove-it simultaneously.
360 heelflip / laser flip
A combination of a frontside 360 shove-it and a heelflip.
360 hardflip
A frontside 360 frontside pop shove-it and a kickflip all in one motion.
360 inward heelflip
A backside 360 shove-it with a heelflip in one motion.
Backside 360 flip
A 360 flip where the skater spins 360 with the board.
Bigspin
When the rider does a backside 360 pop shove-it and does a 180 body varial going the same direction as the board.
Bigspin flip / bigsping kickflip / bigflip

Caballerial flip
A combination of a Caballerial (a fakie stance frontside or backside 360) and a kickflip.
Casper flip
A single midair trick composed of two parts. The first part is a half-kickflip that is caught upside-down with the back foot on top of the tail and the front foot cradling the downward facing forward portion of the deck. The second part is a backside shove-it spun from this brief aerial stall.
Disco flip
A regular heelflip with a backside 180 body varial.
Fingerflip
A fingerflip requires the skateboarder to flip the board in any direction using their fingers on the nose or tail.
Forward flip / dolphin flip
Usually performed by ollying and sliding the front foot directly off the nose of the board instead of off one of the sides causing it to flip vertically between the riders legs. The rotations of this trick could be described as an inverted vertical varial kickflip or an ollie late nollie hardflip.
Frontside/backside heelflip
A heelflip combined with a frontside or backside 180. This trick is also known as a frontside or backside heel.
Frontside/backside kickflip
A kickflip combined with a frontside or backside 180 ollie. This trick is also known as a frontside or backside flip.
Frontside/backside 180
An ollie in which both the skater and the skateboard rotate 180 degrees either frontside or backside. If the skater spins some other multiple of 180 degrees (e.g. 360, 540), the trick is named accordingly.
Full Cab / Caballerial
A fakie frontside or backside 360 ollie. Invented by Steve Caballero.
Gazelle flip
A 540 flip with a body rotation of 360 degrees in the same direction.
Ghetto bird
A hardflip with a late backside 180 usually performed as a quick revert. This trick was created by Kareem Campbell.
Half Cab
A fakie frontside or backside 180 ollie.
Half Cab flip
A fakie frontside or backside flip.
Hardflip
A frontside pop shove-it with a kickflip. This trick is awkward to execute, and the board sometimes appears to move vertically through the legs.
Heelflip
Similar to the kickflip, only the board spins toe-side (towards the toes). For a regular skater (left foot in front) the board spins clockwise from a perspective behind the skater. Again, there is a kick as part of the ollie, but unlike the kickflip it is directed forward and outwards away from the rider's toe side (diagonal), so that the last part of the foot to leave the board is the heel, hence the name. Instances of multiple spins are named according to how many spins are completed (e.g. double heelflip, triple heelflip, etc.).
Helipop
Frontside or backside 360 nollie. Invented by Rodney Mullen.
Hospital flip
A trick in which the skateboarder does a half rotation kickflip with the front foot, and with the same foot pulls to shove-it.
Hurricane Bigspin
When the rider does a backside 360 pop shove-it and does a 180 body varial going the opposite direction as the board.
Inward heelflip
A combination of a backside pop shove-it with a heelflip.
360 Inward Heelflip Is a 360 shove it, combined with a heelflip!
Kickback flips
The board does a half pressure kickflip rotation, then it is brought back up and thrown in the heelflip direction, making it a half pressure kickflip to a late one and a half helflip.
Late flip
A kickflip or heelflip performed at the highest peak of an ollie.
Late shove-it
A shove-it, either frontside or backside, performed at the apex of an ollie.
Merlin twist / Moolycopter
A switch front foot impossible 180. Created by Cory Kennedy.
Mystic flip / twisted flip
A varial kickflip in which the rider does a 180 body turn in the opposite direction.
Nightmare flip
A combination of a pop shove-it and a double kickflip. It looks similar to a varial kickflip, but has an extra kickflip rotation.
Nollie
An ollie off the nose of the board. Any trick can be performed nollie rather than an ollie (although they would be renamed accordingly, e.g. a kickflip from a nollie is called a "nollie kickflip"). A common misconception among younger riders is that nollie is similar to fakie. When performing a nollie trick, frontside is still frontside, as is backside, as if you are still riding in your regular stance. Fakie is meant to imply rolling backwards as if still riding regular. An example would be the a nollie frontside pop shove-it which is performed as if doing a switch backside shove-it, only riding backwards.
Impossible
Where the board completes one rotation by rolling around the skater's back foot, in much the same manner as spinning a baton with one's hand. It is considered good style to make the board flip as vertical as possible. If the board spins laterally or comes off the back foot, it tends to end up looking more like a 360 pop shove-it. This trick can also be done with the front foot. That is called a "front foot impossible". This trick was invented by Rodney Mullen. He shared the idea of this trick with some of his older friends who told him it would be impossible, hence the name.
Kickflip
Where the board spins a full rotation sideways, towards the skaters body, depending on if you stand right or left foot forward. Invented by Rodney Mullen.
Pop shove-it
Simple, basic pop with a scoop turning the board 180 degrees.
Plasma Spin / Frontside Bigspin
A 360 frontside pop shove-it with a 180 body varial going the same direction.
Plasma Laser Spin
A 360 frontside pop shove-it with a 180 body varial going the opposite direction.
Pressure flip
Any flip trick that gains its rotational and flip direction from the same foot that popped the nose or tail. Pressure flips are executed using a scooping technique. Nate Sherwood is well-known for his extensive array of pressure flip tricks.
Semi-flip
A quarter kickflip late back foot varial heelflip. Invented by Rodney Mullen.
Underflip
Flipping the board by using one foot that is under the board and flipping it in the kickflip or heelflip direction.
