Actually, no where in that video or in the description does he call them frontside or backside. All of the comments are even saying that it is backside if you read them. but it seems as though you don't understand so here are some other videos proving my point. Here's one from a pro on the ride channel just like your video! :) [VIDEO] Here is a Lee Yankou calling this flip a "Frontside Halfcab Flip" (and rotating it the opposite way from the video you are describing.) [VIDEO] Here is the Skateology of a "Fakie bs heelflip" which is rotating the same way as the video you showed. [VIDEO] some more: [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] most of these are fakie frontside flips, but the principle is the same. Here's baskwith explaining it: [VIDEO] >Not a beginner :) Been skating for five years and I'm an instructor, been teaching kids how to skate since last november. That's great! But that doesn't mean that you can't be wrong, and it's very obvious that you are at this point.
