Body varials were sometimes called sex change. Although body varial was the original name. Sex Change was mostly at first in conjunction with a trick - kickflip sex change. Rad Rat included the history of this in a video if you want to nerd: [this video] Hippy jumps were also called hippy hops.

Lol right I bet Tony was behind the camera telling them what to call the trick (even if he was he'd still be wrong). It being on ride channel doesn't mean shit, they also fuck up fakie suski/crooks in the exact way everyone else does, doesn't mean they're correct. Look at the top comment on that video btw. Again, just because a pro or someone in the industry names a trick a certain way, doesn't mean they're correct when it comes to basic slides/grinds etc. Also if we're just linking videos to prove our point, instead of making any kind of valid argument, here.
