Uhmm, ptaku already gave the correct answer :
ptaku wrote:That was name for Butterfly, proposed by Ernest M. Crvich

Bonus: "The name comes from death metal
vocalist George Fisher."
Its a common misconception that corpsegrinder was proposed for toe stall, so I was surprised to find this posting on the mailing list. (Thats why I had to ask the question)



btw, we still need someone to ask a new question...

OK since no one is going for it I will ask a question:
Who invented the "symposium" concept?
Bonus: Who hit it first, and what was the first symposium trick hit?

This was asked in round one of the trivia game. Rippin, and symposium whirl. Personally, I`d like it better if only new questions are asked, but hey.

I believe Joey Shaeffer (did I spell that correctly) came up with the idea for "symposium" moves, but Rippin named it (apparently, after scanning a dictionary at 3:00 AM).

The first symposium move was Symp Whirl (Kenny Shultz) ( followed by Symp Mirage, followed by Symp. Whirling Swirl )

<edited to complete the bonus question>

sorry ken, i hadn't known that this was already posted as a question, but Kaos is right--Joey Schaffer invented the symposium concept.
Rippin was the first to hit it, and I"m pretty sure the first symp. trick was symp. mirage.
Either way the answer is Joey Schaffer, so now Kaos, ask away.

OK, according to Rippin' Rick Reese, he and Kenny Shultz invented torque together and Kenny named it.

So my question is this, at which tournament did this take place, and what year?

Bonus: Which was the first 'gyro' move to be hit?

One of the 'old' players thought that he invent move which we are calling Shaft. He wasn't right because, he didn't invent this move.

Question: Who is that player, and what name did he propose to his move.

Bonus: What is the alternate name for move, which is named with the name he proposed to Shaft.

Ps. If you don't know about what I'm asking then sorry, maybe someone else could give next question? My english is so bad :(

A: The Enlightener, Scott Davidson. He named Symposium Down Double Down - "Super Duper Fly".

Bonus: Superduperfly is a Spinning Symposium Double Down, also called Poisonous Toad.


I hope I understood correctly. Man, it was a difficult question...

Time to go way back...

At the 1984 World Championships, there was only two people doing trick combo's (consecutive ATWs) (the rest had tricks mixed with kicks). Kenny Shultz was one, name the other?

Bonus: Two moves (atleast) invented by Kenny Shultz came from Flying Disc, name any one of the two.

Nope, good guess though.

I'll comment on the bonus, once someone gets the primary.
