Flatspin 180s are almost always underflips

Look at a left flat 180 and consider that it’s actually a left underflip. Henrik did a legit one in a level one movie but 99% of the time people are mislabeling their trick.

thank you for coming to my TED talk

If we are talking about the Fagan bro’s, I agree. They’re doing Japan backflips with a late 180 “the other way”.

honestly they just look like a flat 5 where the rotation starts a little earlier to me. Especially that "dub 5" from the fagan slvsh game - that was just a kang flip but he spun early.

This trick isn’t as cool as a lot of people think. In fact most “Revert” tricks look like shit now. I think that phase is finally over

what if it's with a hand drag though, like where you revert using the hand drag to change your momentum? I think those look tight.

But I agree about the in-air "revert" tricks, as impressive as they are, awkwardly flailing your body in the middle of a trick for whatever reason rarely looks good.
