DUZ Classification System

The DUZ Classification System is a simple method to help label tricks. Here's how it works.
Z = Zero = 0
U = Un = 1
D = Duex = 2

Each trick has two letters an a simple descriptive trick name. The two letters are either D, U, or Z. The letters are taken from the first letters of the French Zero, One, and Two; Zero, Un, and Duex. The first letter is how many hands on the stick during the trick, the second letter is how many feet.
So a DU Jump would be a jump where two hands but only one foot stays on the pogo stick!

There are five basic type of tricks. Big Air, Technical, Spins, Stalls, and Reverses

Big Air are tricks where you jump as high as you can in the air and perform a trick.
Technical are tricks that are performed low to the ground where height doesn't matter.
Spins are tricks where the stick with or without you on it spin.
Stall are tricks where the pogo stops on the ground, bench, ledge or where ever else you stall
Reverses are tricks where the stick starts in front of you and ends up behind you, or the other way around.

Almost every trick fits in one or more of those categories. Some tricks fit in many categories. For instance some technical tricks involve spins, stalls, or reverses.
