Gyro Symposium --> G.S. ?

[Juan]

yo,
i jus saw Dan Klokows new vid True Playas and in it Ales hits blry whirl > ps whirl > gyro symposium eggbeater for his sick 3. Aside from the third move blowing my fricking mind, it made me think of a 'new' acronym for our sport that already has a lot. I thought G.S. was an appropriate abbeviation for gyro symposium since gyro is similar to paradox in the sense that both imply that the bag moves across the body (pdx = across the body's front; gyro = across the back of the body) and because youre not suppose to plant for either concept except you have to if theres a symposium part. I know ppl dont bust gyro symposium nearly as much as paradox symposium moves (esp ps whirls), but it seems like the term g.s. could be useful since its much shorter than saying gyro symposium. Also, i could see g.s. being confused amongst b.s. and p.s.

im not tryin to make all you guys say g.s., im just putting this out there as an idea to discuss. Tell me if you like it or thinks its whack.

I'm totally down. Only thing is that gyro implies a spin without a plant, resulting in potential confusion.

I'm pretty sure that term is already out there...at least I'm pretty sure, seeing as I use it to describe moves now and again.

see, this type of move is always what i had heard referred to as spyro. spyro meaning symp gyro. unfortunately when i said this on the flipsider forum it never caught because apparently scott davidson made it up and lets just say he doesn't get much credit on the flipsider forum.

however the abbreviation GS is quite catchy.

[Muffinman]

yeh. spyro is good. but i can live with gs too. i'll prolly know what someones talking about if they say it. fs is a bit confusing. could be frontside OR far symposium. same with bs. blurry symp OR backside.

maybe we should start using spyro? i like spyro.

Spryo gives the impression of Symposium Gyro which in turn implies a symp. dex before the gyro which is usually not how it occurs. GS (gyro symposium) tends to reflect the correct order.
