How to count flips 🤷‍♂️

Some people call it fakie, some people don’t. Also a weird one is people saying “switch zero spin” instead of just “zero”, idk why. I have no idea what ur talking about with flips though

How many times do you spin = trick spin designation, e.g., 540, 720,1080, 2160.

How many times you 'flip' = cork designation, e.g., double, triple, quad.

So if you spin 1080 and 'flip' twice its, a double cork 1080.

If you spin an 1620 and 'flip; three times, its a triple 1620.

idk much about how bladers name tricks but yeah you have a couple things off

switch and fakie mean the same thing on skis, just means backwards. a switch backflip is taking off backward, and doing a backflip (downhill). switch front flip is the opposite of course. those two are kinda the outliers in that their name is just describing that you take off switch and then do a backflip or frontflip. misties etc are not like that (see next paragraph)

flip total and spin total combine in the trick name. a misty 720 is (basically) a front flip with a 360. if you do it switch the misty should still look more or less the same, it doesn't reverse anything. for instance, on a switch misty you are still flipping downhill. example: a switch misty 9 looks basically like a misty 7 except with a switch 180 at the beginning

if i say double cork 1080, the double part refers to the cork being doubled, nothing else. a double cork 1080 is usually done as a cork 7 into a cork 3, to give an example

hope that helps, i think i hit the basics you were getting wrong, lemme know if anything is unclear

Thanks for the help really make more sense now. 🙏🏽
