A short clip presenting a "new" grab I had in mind for a while. I Finally managed to land it in a 360.
* I called it a Mute Stalefish Double Grab, but if it's called otherwise, please share!
It's not much, but I'm pretty hyped! I'm not sure if a "step up" was the best setup for throwing my first backflip, but it worked!
Here's a very short compilation of three unique and unaesthetic grabs I came up with this year. I don't think they deserve a name.
2nd and 3rd grabs are the same.
Honnestly, I don't know if it's called a "Flying Squirrel", but there's a very similar grab in Snowboarding called this way, so it's my best guess. If this grab has another name, please share :)
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?
I basically used all my strength to pull this trick. I was totally blind and lost in the air, but I'm so happy I landed it. I've never done that even on trampoline. Heck, I don't even know what's the name of the trick. Backflip 360°? Rodeo 720°? Cork 720°?
Is it the first times you landed those tricks?
Yes.
Can you land those tricks in a park?
No.
Aren't you teaching yourself some really bad habits by only training on a tiny jump with a flat landing?
Yes.
