That's just disgusting. It should be censored.

No. Sandhu does it way better, and I bet no caption of him doing it would look half as bad.

I once heard a coach refer to it as the "ugly butt spin" because he didn't like how it looked when one of his female students did it. I agree that it looks better in motion than in a still photograph; still, it is not my favorite spin, especially when not done well.

I always refer to a butt spin as the one when you do a low sit spin and then end up spinning on your butt - intentionally - a la 80's breakdance. I LOVE doing that.

Anywho, as far as ugly spins? Come look at my camel

That spin in the photo should be called the 'in ur face spin'. I guess if he spins really fast, then it might look ok.....but I think if somebody spins real slow.....it might look somewhat awkward.

I should mention I only care for this spin on men; on women the skirt pops up too much.

Yes, that's the one. You can see pictures at http://editorial.gettyimages.com/sou...%7c0&p=7&tag=1.

We have always called it the bumdhu......and it has never been attractive.

I like the extended leg position when Alissa Czisny does it, but I think the angle on hers is different, so it's not as much 'crotch shot'.
