yeah i agree with Kelowna Rider 16 cause thats an unturndown... u dont turn the bars. You turn the bars on a turn down if anyone knows something about tricks they would know that.
I'd call this a very extended unturndown (the foot that comes off is usually a bit more tucked in between the frame and the saddle) but from what I gather this trick has a lot of names. Some people call it a table, an 'aptos' table, a one foot table, an invert, a shoulder buzz.... the list goes on.
I like unturndown because when its done properly, proper clicked, it does look just like a turndown but the bars are not turned - hence the name unturndown.
Didn't someone do a vid on PB recently on "how to flip unturndown"? And wasn't the unturndown bit of it like this?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. There seems to be no official committee regulating such things but maybe there should be? Do you think the government would fund such a scheme?
Yikes, way to light up somebody without actually thinking for a second. This looks like an "un-turndown" to me, the bike stands sort of vertical, his head is near the tire, the bars arent turned. Who gives a flip how far his foot is off.........nevermind, I dont even care. Sick shot, sick trick, case closed.
Table - Last time I checked, tables were horizontal. You're not going to be able to lay out you best silverware on anything in the POD above meaning it's not a table farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/4064217170_fe3d33e63f.jpg
Yeah, your pic sums it up pretty well although i've never heard it called a Euro table before but i guess it's probably more of a non-euro term. I'd probably call that a down table if anything but half the time when someone does one, it just looks like general style as it never seems to be that clicked.
I like to take a look at the big picture and remember it is a freaking awesome picture. The trick's name is like the name of pro wrestling moves. It will change in a decade when some 14yr old reinvents it and gives it a new name. In 20yrs our kids will be laughing at the old school tricks their parents did and how the names were all lame (yes they will still say lame because style is cyclical). Sweet pic. Sweet trick. AMEN
The "unturndown" debate is pathetic. I personally agree with Gorman above that this should be simply called a "wall" (or something of the like) as far as common sense and nomenclature goes. "Unturndown", translated from mtb parlance into proper English, doesn't evoke an image of the above to me. So I have a proposition: a "table" used to denote a situation when a bike was laid horizontally in midflight, given its actual resemblance of a flat table top. This is quite nearly vertical, so why not simply call it a "wall"? It may be unimaginative, but solves the problem of using 20 different (and rather grotesque) names for a single move.
That said, the name is of marginal importance. It's still a really flash trick, especially on a bike that doesn't look all that easy to swing about...
see what i thought was that this is an invert and an unturndown is like a turndown exept u dont turn the bars and use it as more of an invert on quater pipes and in 360s correct me if im wrong
what i think is that unturndown is when your doing a falty but the rider and the bike is in a vertical possition or standing up position and turndown is when your on a unturndown position but with the bar turned 180 deg. also i think an invert is when your on a normal flaty position but the flaty is just super extended that the bike is upside down on the side of the rider. but im not 100% sure, cause im not a TRICKTIONARY...
The bike is vertical with his shoulder almost touching the front tyre so it aint a table as the bike needs to be horzontal!!! If he tabled like that he would seriously nosedive! GET IT RIGHT!
Search for a pic of Brain Foster of Jamie Bestwick doing a REAL UNTURNDOWN, ive said it for years, these "Unturndowns" that Mtb riders are doing now-a-days arent unturndowns... they are just straight legged tables, and THIS..... IS A 1 FOOTED TABLE
unturndown is just like a downside table. bars downward instead of inwardn the bikes gotta go to the side like a turndown not staight up and down like a inverted table(which thats what this picture is a 1 foot inverted table)easy as that.
No offence, but I would think twice about referring to anything close to a dictionary, you've managed 4 absurd spelling mistakes within two short sentences... EDIT: Five, actually...
dude im sorry that you have no life and that you have stooped to correcting my spelling,
i am infact doing higher english so i know what im doing.
its the interent i know you probable spell perfectly but i cba and im crap at spelling so stop pointing it out to me its fucking annoying
there are a couple ways you can look at it, it can either be a cali-table or an unturndown, basicly the same thing, but this is the sickiest cali-table i have ever seen on a big bike...props bro
I love A-line, all the jumps are big but built so perfectly that you can do them with speed. this is my favorite run and this is why. and nice table thats a damn tweaked table so flat you could lay a table cloth down
SUCH A NICE TAILWHIP SUPERMAN BACKSIDE GNARBUCKET EXTREME!!! i love doing tailwhipsupermanbacksidegnarbucketextremes!!!! they are the funnest trick..... wooo trick arguments
Did ya catch the Bike Magazine Shitbike story where Wade Simmons is tabling the F*@! out of a Softride on Sidetrack at Whistler?!! Yeah....not the bike!! Neg prop me....I could care less!!
I'm glad to see you that you could care less. That means that you do care about it, at least somewhat. I believe your point would be properly made by saying "I couldn't care less." This means that you are not able to care any less. Just so you know for next time.
Jazzster- thanks for the grammatical corrections. I think it's FUNNY that people would neg prop me for saying that Casey is a talented rider who can make his TR450 table/unturndown like that. It's not his bike that is able to tweek it like that, it's his timing, proprioception, coordination, and style. No dis to him or his bike.......
