Ross W. Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 what is a wheelswitch? Is it when the front wheel is resting on the object already and you hop up to rear wheel? If so, what is it called when you transfer from front to back, like on a rail or something, like in the Tunnicliffe and CLS videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) As I understand it , a wheelswap is what you described first ; shooting your back wheel to where the front was . A 180 degree rotation , where the wheels replace eachother , so to speak is a wheel swicth . I expect a member on here called Trashzen wiil correct me , he runs an eponymous website stuffed to the gills with moves and their names . There is a final variation , called a wheelchange , where you buy a new wheel 'cause the previous one was destroyed (Y) .

Ross W. Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 not really following you on the 180 part? I meant pedalkick to front wheel on a rail, then switch to rear, no 180? Maybe I just don't know what you're talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towler Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 wheel switch = front on wall, back on object then up to back wheel the rail one i just call front to back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Front to back is what I call them. I have also heard them refered to as hoo haa's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 wheel swap- front wheel on object a back wheel on object b. Transfer wheel from b to a. I call them a transfer (Y) And when its front -to-back on something in the wheel swap position i just call it a front-to-back transfer :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I call it a wheelswap when you rest the front wheel on the object first and go static from front to back. When ever some goes to front wheel on a wall or a rail and then swaps to the back wheel, i just call it 'going to front wheel' because they are going to go to backwheel either way.

Simon Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 When you land front wheel on a object, with your backwheel in the air, then quickly swing it forward so your back wheel is on the object instead if your front. We call it a "Pick" So Neil and Craig would pick a rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I call a wheel swap a "pigeon". the wheel swich on a rail is a "skinny cheeta" yes, we like to call moves silly names (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 we call it: replace - front wheel on top of an object and then up to backwheel wheelswap - gap/up to front wheel and then switch to backwheel (ala CLS/Tunni of rails) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 swap - front wheel on top and go to back switch - front to back move. the Gothenburg people say it the other way around.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I call a wheel swap a "pigeon". the wheel swich on a rail is a "skinny cheeta" yes, we like to call moves silly names (Y)" ← skinny cheeta? how do you work that 1 out? pigeon though has to be the new generic term for a 'replacement'. the best though is a 'racing pigeon' which is a rolling replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 well, the move when you jump up to front wheel then swap to rear on a wall (some silly people call it a coust hop even though people did it before they put in it some vids) is called a cheeta because the motion of the move is a bit like how a cheeta runs, it puts its front paws out them replaces it with its rear. ace name. if your doing a cheeta onto a skinny object like a rail, then its called a skinny cheeta (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsking 55 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 wheel swap- front wheel on object a back wheel on object b. Transfer wheel from b to a. I call them a transfer :S And when its front -to-back on something in the wheel swap position i just call it a front-to-back transfer :) ← we call them statics lol B) but a wheelswap is where you hop onto the front wheel and then pull the handle bars up, the front wheel up and forward and place your backwheel on the object. all without letting your rear wheel hit the floor.

N.Wood Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 There's no right answer, as everyone has different names for them, based on random factors, or regional ones. We just kinda describe the move B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 There's no right answer, as everyone has different names for them, based on random factors, or regional ones. We just kinda describe the move B) ← Yeah, thats what we do, i'v given up on the names after i realised our names were getting soft of inbread, no one outside of our town knew what we were talking about. Just make up funny words for them like said above, best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashZen Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeah, thats what we do, i'v given up on the names after i realised our names were getting soft of inbread, no one outside of our town knew what we were talking about. Just make up funny words for them like said above, best way. ← That's really amazing B) I'd call them a front-to-back wheel transfer if you pick the front wheel first. Else, if it all starts from a static position, I'd say static hop, but I guess in a conversation, I'd name the moves a different name until I get understood. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I suspected " Trashzen" Mmight have something to say on this . Moves like this really need explaining with complex hand signals " you sorta go like THIS , then this bit goes like THAT ..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross W. Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Wow! Thanks for all the replies. B) Seems there are various answers so this is my choice: static hop to rear, starting with front wheel resting on object=wheelswitch/replacement pedalkick to front, transfer to rear wheel, as on a rail=wheelswap/hoo haa/pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
