I just watched the Vugluskr summer video, and I was wondering what this flip is called. It's at 3:14 of this video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kyyiv0LoJTs It's a unique trick

dude that was pretty sweet!! I have no idea what that's called but i used to do those on my trampoline all the time. I impressed that he was able to do one of those off of solid gound like that, even though he did have some space for the drop. Very impressive.

Corkscrew I believe!

not a cork at all.

Its a weird side flip. I see them alot, and do them by accident occasionally. If you go to do a sideflip and just keep spotting the ground and take off straight, that comes out.

Thanks guys, I've been working on them on my trampoline. I named it "Tunnel Flip"

I know nothing about flips, but I can tell you what it looks like to the untrained eye: an airborne cartwheel with forward momentum rather than sideways momentum.

It looks awesome. Way to impress the ladies!

I'm still working on my regular cartwheels (they're highly comical). Freerunning's really not my thing.

Lol, I remember wanting to know what flip that was, then just forgetting about it. It does look cool though.

I'm going to go practice them. I mastered it on my trampoline, and It's pretty easy to spot your self.

I think the meaning of spot is a helper other than yourself = )

Anyway, it's probably just some barrel roll, don't need to think too hard.

Umm, guys I'm sorry to tell you that ur all wrong, but it's just a side flip while traveling forward, so ya.

They are really easy if you can do a side flip. But really who does a running gainer on to an angles tree trunk!!? It is at 5:05 in the vid. Balls or just Stupid??

canman44 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:25:41 AM »

I would def go with "stupid balls". impressed me though

JumpOff · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:34:53 AM »

Too bad that's what I said. Side flip moving forward.

But I'm pretty sure there's a name for it...I looking around for it.

Leon Mederos · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2007, 09:32:01 AM »

Lol technically it's a corkscrew. I DO know that there is another trick by the name of a corkscrew (swinging leg up and rotating horizontal to floor as if doing a btwist.) The second corkscrew is actually more commonly referred to as a "540 twist", while this sideflip one is referred to as a "sideflip cork."

Not that name matters, but I'm sure JumpOff would know since he's more into tricking then I am. PLEASE FIND THE NAME!

Corey Cedeno · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2007, 02:24:21 PM »

A skater friend of mine calls it a "hotflip"

Makoa · « **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2007, 03:08:51 PM »

I thought a corkscrew was a butterfly twist rotating the opposite way?

Nicolas Finn · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2007, 03:58:27 PM »

yeah, that jump into the tree was RETARDED.. the rest was impressive, although I do think that the guy gets waaaaay too ahead of himself.

canman44 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2007, 07:36:15 AM »

and for that we can only thank him

LMAO

Blooper me thinks? Not sure, but I would have at least been like "Nope, there's a tree there. F*ck that"

I actually watched and almost master this. Someone was right ealier kinda.
It is a side summie : http://youtube.com/watch?v=uNynbiS2AyI

Though there is one important thing. He doesnt hurdle lunge step into it. So, its a forward moving side summie. I would call it Inverted side summie. Its uber cool..and hard to get down perfect.

Patrick Holten (Denver Family) Flux Freerunning · « **Reply #19 on:** September 19, 2007, 08:04:29 PM »

Yes, they are very hard to get down perfect as you said, however with enough height they can be controlled well, as seen in the first video. They are great fun to be able to do!!
