Because its easy to do a bad backflip with a grab then call it a flat 3 because it sounds cooler.

tru

a true flat 3 is super uncommon and is extreme swag when done correctly, Nicky Keefer has the most tru flat 3 other than Alex Bellmare's lazy boy dub flat 3 which was flat af

because if you do it right you will just naturally fall into that grab.

I just love throwing em, especially off big jumps when you can lay it out. They feel so good, and are a pretty safe trick, at the same time as being a crowd pleaser.

Then angle is deceiving as far as it being a flat 3. Also, thats about as big as you get in the midwest, sorry I don't live somewhere else? That being said if you hit it fast you can get a solid 4 seconds in the air out of it. If its not a flat 3 then I would ask what it is?

you're completely upside down, it's probably a backflip with your head looking to the side and japan grab.

How do you do a double flat 3? It sounds gorgeous and painfully hard.
