in/out

Gymnastics terminology that has been adapted for tricking that describes how a move is started or ended. It's a simplified version of describing moves that have multiple body positions. A simple example would be the X-out. The performer does a backflip but finishes or "goes out" of the flip with the body in the X position. So the performer created an "X" out of the flip. Another more extensive example would be a double full twisting back flip with an x-out done in between the two full twists which would be called a full-in X-Out full-out. The performer starts or "goes In" the move with a full twist and then performs and X-Out and finishes or "goes out" with a full twist. This terminology allows one to completely describe a move in a few words rather than a few sentences.
