Looks like a Sailor Moon.

I'd give you a link but it'll be pointless if you can't even do all your class A moves yet which I'm pretty sure you haven't gotten down since you made a post about gainers. Not even trying to be a dick dude, before you even try these you need to know how to do Gumbi's and Raiz's. The movement itself is similar to a gainerflash. If you can't do all Class A moves clean, why try Class B and C stuff?

Building blocks dude. One step at a time. Tricking is no different then parkour in terms of how you progress. Start small.

Yeah I get what your trying to say, and yeah I've been working on my Class A tricks, they are going fine for now. I was just wondering what trick it was, because I haven't seen much other trickers do it.

Word. But yeah, that move is called a Sailor Moon. It was actually invented by Kim Do Nguyen, the guy in the video. It's a Raiz variation where the person plants one hand on the ground before take off. The move is started in the same manner as the capoeira Meia Lua Compasso but once the hand is planted on the ground the kicking leg is extended you push off the ground and finish the maneuver like a Raiz. That's all I know about it anyways.
