Thank you, but we are going to record all the videos ourselves so they are no copyright issues.

Plus that video is a great example for not being shown in Germany due to music issues...
Yeah, like what exactly a High V, Low V,... have to look like and their exact names. I don't know how many times I've heard the exact opposite for clap and clasp, the same goes for the confusion of daggers, punch and touchdown... I could go on and on about that (wrists in High V, where a High V needs to be placed, etc.)
By the way: do you need anyone to interview some international users for their names of skills? I'd be more than happy to do that for Germany.

Good idea to clear up not only regional US differences in terminology but International too.

It is a wiki so it will be editable by all (until certain sections reach a maturity and doneness). I think there should be a section on the bottom of each page that says Alternate Names or something. But look to the main name being the 'official' one.

Yes to this! I could go without the flyer/top girl, prep/elevator, giddy up/switch up, shoulder sit / shoulder straddle, etc... discussions every time I go to work with a different team.
This will be a HUGE effort. If I can do anything please let me know.

I think this is a really good idea! I can't wait til it gets up and running.
But just btw, International is spelled wrong on the main page.

How about the different basing grips. Is there one that's more "right" than the others? Are we going to show them all.

This is probably going to be a point of contention. Yes I believe one is more right than the others. Just as Tim Lincecum has perfect pitching technique in baseball but there are many ways to pitch, his is technically the 'rightest'. Lots of people can overcome bad form with athletic ability, but if they focussed on mechanics and better technique they would get better results.
For example, if a group comes in and does a double up does the fact that they can hit the skill prove their technique is the correct technique? Just like the kid with the janky triple full just cause he did the triple doesn't mean his technique is correct. Without one defined standard people cannot strive towards better technique.
As well there are LOTS of legacy basing ideas which are just plain hindering peoples development.

That will probably take a bit of discussion, but I know what makes the most sense with body alignment.
First, you call the person that faces front the main (traditionally this person is called the 'side'). Why would I say that is the 'main'? If I was a single basing a stunt would you refer to me as a side or main? When a person comes to the side and helps lift the stunt they should NOT pull it over them, but assist the main in holding it over their nose. The strongest position for basing is the main while they are facing front with a nice body line over their nose. Using this methodology switching between single, single with assistance, and group means the names stay the same and the body alignments don't change.

@kingston
we do a bit of a hybrid style. If you are facing the stunt the person on the right is the main and they are facing sideways with toe and heel. The person on the left (side base) is facing in and kinda backwards with their right hand under the middle and their left of the back of the foot/ankle. Most of the weight is born by the main and the side base is technically a spotter according to the USASF glossary. So you can lose the back spot and its still legal without adjusting anything.
