3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1tricks/stunts Explanation: In extreme sports, like motorcycle ramp jumping, skydiving and the like, "piruetas" refers to tricks/stunts. It's funny, but the French word "pirouette" seems to capture the sense best..it refers to the spinning motion of a body (in this case a human one), a flip is not a bad way of translating the word at all, but it implies almost one type of spinning motion, basically a flipping motion..Spinning can occur in any direction..so pirouette would be the closest word, but in standard English, a person performs "tricks" or "stunts" in an extreme sport, and even in not so extreme ones like ice skating, and these in turn are judged on levels of difficulty. |
