when did people start calling a shifty an over-shifty?

I would say it would be an over-shifty when, for example, you jump and do a 270 then bring it back to land switch. As opposed to a shifty 180, where you wouldn't OVER-shifty into the 270.

The entire concept of a shifty is that your upper and lower bodies are not pointing the same direction. To say 'you' do a 270 would not even make sense when talking about anything shifty related.

If my skis do a 180, and my skis land backwards, but I keep my upper body facing mostly forwards the entire time, did "I" do a 180 or did "I" not do a 180.

Spin right shifty right=over shifty

Spin right shifty left=under shifty

it's only an over shifty if it goes beyond the rotation you land at (like sw 2 pretz 90)

I don't think under shifties are even a thing

sw 2 pretz 90 is different than a sw 1 over shifty. under shifty is a thing, most people just call them shifties though

how tho? You literally do a sw 1 then over rotate with the shifty and then bring it back. That's where the over comes from

finally someone speaking english. But what would you call a left shifty done mid spin? They wouldn't actually be shiftying past the final rotation because it's in the middle of the spin.

if its in the middle of the spin I think its just a normal shifty.

Well, If I'm the old guy in this conversation and I'm holding down that view point (over shifties weren't even a thing when that Voleurz video came out) how can I follow your logic. To me a shifty is a shifty. Saying a left shifty during a left spin is different that a right shifty during a left spin makes some sense to me though. Then saying it only makes a difference at the end of a trick and not the middle makes me think your don't know whats up and I should revert to my original point of a shifty is a shifty is a shifty.

i mean i usually just call them shifties cause nobodies got time to count the rotation and direction when its happening in real life. I guess op is the only person who really knows

I guess this is what happens when our terminology comes from 4 completely different sports
