That was a cool video 🙌 I agree on the teaching 👍 I appreciate you as well, brother 🤘 I go to this guy when I want to see tricks in slow mo when I'm trying to figure them out. He's a beast with the camera. No descriptions, though 😁 [VIDEO]

Yeah dude, even this Gazelle Flip [VIDEO] video is fucking awesome. But I still personally prefer the real time clip being shown first, and then maybe again after the slow motion from another angle... but again, the trick better be fucking nuts if you're showing it that many times.

I'm not sure of a name for that trick besides a 360 360 flip. A 360 with a 540 Flip is a Gazelle Flip [VIDEO] . TIL that was invented by Mullen in 1981.
