I Unexpectedly Did This Trick. How Do You Call That?

Basically (if it's not clear enough in the video), it's a 360° sideward rotation (Barrel Roll style) while moving forward PLUS an extra 180° twisting rotation.

Honestly, I was attempting a Backflip 180°, so that's why I say it was "unexpected". Can I do it again? No. At least, not without practice.

I asked Reddit about it, and people mostly replied it was an underflip, but I must kindly disagree with this because to me, an underflip is mostly like a flair which is a 360° backward rotation with an overall 180° twisting rotation (maybe more like 90° at the start and 90° at the end in the case of an underflip).

So, how do you call this trick?
It's an underflip for sure. Your rotation is the same as Vinnie's when he first debuted that trick back in 2000. Take a look at 0:59 from his segment in The Game. The similarities I'd call out is that the rotation has the same set like a lincoln loop and the same finish with the feet coming back down like a switch front.
