Adam Shomsky's Skateology episode on the ghetto bird, also called Chetty Thomas, a hardflip backside 180 or hardflip revert. Sewa Kroetkov and others shown at 240, 480 and 1000 fps on a Sony FS700 and Relake N3.

Why it's an editor's pick

Linked in a thread about catching the board mid-trick, as proof that the ghetto bird works differently than people assume. Slow motion shows the exact foot and board motion.
