Switch wackflip?

ashamedkrew · 2010-08-27 12:17:33

So i've been comtemplating this in my head for awhile mostly because I don't think i've seen it done before. There was a thread awhile ago about 'wackflips' which are frequently called flat 3's but are basically a backflip just slightly off axis with a japan grab usually, and that got me thinking could it be done switch? Switch backflips are not too common of a trick but when they are done they are usually without a grab and pretty much straight on axis. Has anyone done or seen anything that could resemble a switch 'wackflip'?

my friend went to windells this summer and said Collin Collins (i think) was trying switch backflips but kept looking over his shoulder and they kinda turned into switch wackflips.

Im pretty sure a "wackflip" is just a really really flat 3.

i think you are missing the point.

People do backflips and then grab Japan or shifty just a little bit and call it a "flat 3" or "rodeo" when in reality it was just a backflip with a grab or tweak. thats why it is called "whack"

Flat 3s aren't supposed to go inverted. The flatter the better if you ask me.

I would love to see more people doing a truly flat flat 3. Turpins are pretty flat, but I really dont see it that much

Philou Poirier told me that JF Cusson or Houle, i forget, was the first one to be doing them in the late 90s. people back then shunned the trick which is now kinda funny since were all over it like flies on a shitpile.
