I'm not angry at all, I haven't used a single exclamation point, I'm simply trying to educate, ive been doing tricks since most of you were in diapers :)
 
I might be the worst member on here when it comes to technical trick names, but eheath youre def wrong on this one.

That being said, this is a great hype video. Henny is one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of hanging out with. I cant wait to see how he does

Made me stoked for the xgames, is this hype thanks to the NS x Mnt Dew Collab? Did you film this? (thought it was NSxXgames, awk.)

Dude by your logic a flat 5 should be called a flat 9. Flips don't count as spins, if somebody did a backflip and landed switch would you call it a backflip 540? Of course not, because it's a backflip 180.

No that would be a 5. eheath is right in that case.

an off axis backflip 180 can either be a rodeo 5 or underflip 5 depending on which way you spin. Just like how a back full (back flip 360) is a dspin 7, underflip 7 or cork 7 depending on how it's thrown.

but to me, Henrik's trick is fully a flat 180 in my eyes. there's no flip in a true flatspin so flat 180 is definitely possible, it looks exactly like half a true flat 3.
 
So what it's not technically a flat 180, couldn't everyone agree based on a flat 3/flat 5 that 'flat 180' is the best description of the trick? What else would you call it?

like I said if you watch a mark abma or Eric Pollard flat 3, they're still 'flipping' just not necessarily inverted. Just because you don't go inverted doesn't mean you're not flipping and doing a 360 through that flip.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard and discredits you from any further discussion regarding tricks.

Calum went inverted in his video, as did Henrik. To not see that you have to be blind.

A real flat 3 is what Andy Mahre did in Idea and what Pollard used to do. Refer to JF Cusson for a flat spin definition.

These off axis back flips have been called a flat 3 since Freeskier Mag labeled Pete Olenick doing them back in the day. It's been a joke since then. They are off axis back flips. Just because the rotation is different doesn't mean the same trick can be thrown completely different ways. However, it is common place to call Wack flips flat 3s to humour the stupid and save an argument. Fine. But don't use that logic to determine other tricks. TJ's flat 5 bow and arrow to these wack flip flat 3s? Completely different.
