Personally, I view anything that doesn't have a start or an end a
'skill.' Riding backwards, idling on one foot, etc, are skills. Things
that have a definate start/end, like side mounts, 360's, etc, are
tricks. And I find nothing degrading about the word trick....

Before anyone goes off thinking 'trick' only means 'to fool,' why not
just quote the definition in question?

A side mount IS a quick or artful way of getting a result (mounted)
isn't it? Then according to this definition, trick applies in this
case. It doesn't really, IMO, apply to methods of riding.
