that was sick

i think i remember a thread where a similar trick was thrown and it started an argument (if you can believe that!) let me see if i can think of a way to find it

 
Once again an argument over a dub underflip. If the first flip was a flat spin there would be no argument since flat spins look very unique when done correctly.
 
There is nothing pretzel about what you did. You basically did a back flip and then did a back flip 180/under flip on your second flip(because you had no idea where you were in the air) and you body naturally came out of your rotation with that under flip 5. Truly it's just a dub under flip and every time I've seen someone do it, it's usually a mistake.

But like someone else said the first flip is not a flatspin, wackflip at best and then you just turn the next rotation into a underflip.

I know at least 10 people will disagree with but I'm going to not argue about it this time.
 
Well if you do two flips it has to be at least a 7. Since you flipped twice and landed switch my best bet would be that you did a 900. Sick trick either way.
 
Thanks, i'm just happy if i land that trick. its a 900 and then i can start doing it in competitions. all i want is just a double i just thought it was a wierd axis ;D
 
No pretzel its just a different dub flat 9. if you open your eyes and look at the first flip you can see that its a flat 3. the second flip is just you closing your shoulder which is making it go into an under flip. Keep it open and it will be a "proper" dub 9.
 
I agree with eheath that it was more of a dub underflip 9, but that's really not that important. What is important is that you were really close to landing your first dub attempt. Props!
 
not trying to involve myself in any sort of argument about what this is but i will leave this here:

the first part of the trick was in fact "flat." It was more technically rodeo but for ease of explanation i hope everyone can agree that rodeos and flats are the same maneuver thrown slightly differently. that is:

lincolnish flip (flip over a shoulder)

comboed with a spin in the opposite direction

in your case you lincolned to the right, then ended up spinning left so YES it was rodeo/flat

im inclined to say dont listen to anyone who says otherwise because they dont actually know what theyre talking about
 
did anyone else click on this expecting some crazy new trick only to be let down by another argument over a basic double that you can see at your local hill nowadays...
 
False. The two are similar, I guess, but you initially set a flatspin very similarly to a backflip - not a lincoln.

Jesus can we have please inform everybody of what a flatspin is?? I get that they're hard to explain but it isn't hard to explain what they're not.

They're not a backflip japan, not a whack lincoln loop, they're not even a full inversion. Look at how pros do them for the best explanation.
 
After careful review I've decided that it's a Lincoln to a Lincoln 180. There's nothing backflip-y or underflip-y about either flip.
