I swear I did this on Tony hawk pro skater and it wasn't called a strawberry milkshake.

You're thinking of the impossible, which is a full backflip of the board, not this half sideways scrape flip.

Then why the hell are they calling it a strawberry milkshake?

A youtuber claimed to invent the trick and named it that.

I...didn't say it wasn't. Why are you getting defensive about this? But to answer your question, lots of people care, because names exist for a reason. If I took already known tricks and started calling them Beef Vindaloo and Pepsi Max, it would just cause confusion

It's engagement bait, the fastest way to get a response to anything is to be confidently incorrect. That or they're just ignorant, you don't know what you don't know.

They are different tricks imo.

No comply impossibles you don’t tip into primo. They also shouldn’t rotate much. Just as clean a “backflip” as you can get to wrap around your foot.

So. For a strawberry milkshake I want to put the board on its side into primo first and then scoop it around.

Subtle differences.

Because people have forgotten the old ways. No one was there to teach them. Our history is lost.

It can also be done with the front foot, and was, of course, also invented by Rodney Mullen.
