Subject: What is this core exercise called?

Anybody know what this is called?  Can it be added to the list, or is it already there by some name that I don't recognize?

Assume side plank position (elbow on ground, body straight, etc) with opposite hand on ear, elbow pointing skyward.  Bend forward to touch elbow to ground, then lift up to resume side plank position.

I've heard this called 'side plank crunch', but it isn't particularly crunch-like, so I'm not sure whether that name is correct.

Anyway, I really like this exercise, as it combines a side plank with a dynamic movement that I find helpful.

I'm going to take the silence to mean that noone has a name for this.

Just so that you don't think I'm making it up, check out the latest issue of Bicycling magazine.  I just read it and saw it there, called 'side plank crunch'. 

Any chance we could get that added under 'core'?
