What is this trick?

[T-Holt]

I've searched a lot for this trick (searchbarred, looked at the trick guide in the trick tip forum, and looked around the internet) and could not find out what it's called.

It's the one at 1:44

I wish I could find the full trick, but since I don't know what it's called I can't search for it.

 

[tuna.]

it looks like he's halfway through a rodeo, possibly, possibly a bio, but im sayin rodeo

 

[FMeissner]

Looks like a flatspin to me.

 

[eheath]

Looks like a right flat 5 with a japan grab.

 

[95959]

if your talking about the grab its a japan, but the whole trick looks like a flatspin

 

[A.R.]

bang on

 

[T-Holt]

I thought it might be, but this seems more like a sideways backflip, than a flatspin to me.

 

[BWalmer]

Flat 5 japan, super sick though.

 

[orange.]

i can do sideways backflips

 

[brian.walker]

right flat 5 or bigger with japan mute (cruton i think it is called)

 

[NCurry]

word. its definitaly a rodeo. or what some would say a flatspin wich is basically the same. just ones in a pipe.

its sick though.

 

[123ski]

rodeos and flatspins aren't the same

 

[FUUUCK]

very close to the same, so close many people call rodeos flatspins and vice-versa

 

[skiingonskis]

 

[123ski]

wolfs and coyotes are similar but they aren't the same

 

[123ski]

and by wolfs I obviously mean wolves....it is late

 

[Obsessedwski]

hahah

 

[rynmartn]

give this man a cookie! or a trophy! or...a trophy shaped cookie. anyway. thread over!

 

[A_Davis]

For sure right flat 5 japan. and it looks like a sideways back flip cause flatspins are set initially like a backflip then you drop your should and rotate

 

[JArens]

nope, ryan wins

 

[Skibumsmith]

uh, you can't really tell cause the vid was so short but i would say part of a rodeo

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

haha

 

[titsLOL]

flatspins and rodeos are so similar it is not worth differentiating. One mans rodeo is another mans flatspin. Although if I had to pick one name for that particular one I"d say flat spin.

 

[Drail]

you're all wrong! nah, i just picked up Claim, watched it twice today - that shot doesn't have a landing in the video but he goes past 5. i'll throw out flat 7 japan (landing in question)

 

[[~_~]]

Holy shit! who was that at 3:58??

 

[zerospinskier]

Looks like a "Holy shit, who cares-why is this thread so long"

 

[Malcolm]

its a rat spin

 

[PeterNorth]

hahahahahahahahahaha ahaha is this a joke?????
Wow....... but the trick is flat spin.

 

[T-Holt]

Wow, you are the only one who had this reaction and it was completely necessary, I just didn't know what the trick was.

I know what a fatspin is, I think what threw me off was the part of the trick that it was because I'm pretty sure in a flatspin your back is almost parallel to the ground. In that vid his side was parallel to the ground.

 

[Nicko1981]

There's absolutely no way you can say what the trick is because the shot is so short; it's like calling a trick from a still photo; yeah you can say what the grab is; but for those who are trying to CLAIM it's a flat 5 or whatever; how the fuck can you say what amount of rotation there was?

Get the full movie, find that clip if it's in there then call it.

 

[Drail]

so i guess what i have to say means nothing? you're all idiots. the lot of ya.

 

[Shorton]

bahaha

 

[Nicko1981]

Sorry dude, didn't see your post there.
