Dont know how new or different this is but its not on any of the 'trick lists' I have collected.
Done with height & style this move looks awesome
Seeing as how this just might be the first ever reported sighting Im claiming naming rights. Im calling it :
The HELICOPTER
Basic Move : A Helicopter 1/1
ie a single back spin & board-off combo'd with one clockwise board spin.
Extension is to multiples of either the body spin ie 2/1: 3/1 OR the board spin 1/2; 1/3 OR, if ur hot enuf, multi combos 2/2; 2/3; 3/2; 3/3 da da da da da
Then comes variation to ....
The CHOPPER
Same deal but with front spins and counter-clock board spins. All the same extensions possible.
But wait theres more .....
The BLACK HAWK [}:)] [}:)] [}:)]
Same again (& with all the same combos etc) BUT body & board spins in opposing directions ie back spin cw counter-clock board spin OR forward spin with clockwise board spin.
(I think u gotta be one of those ppl who can pat head/rub tummy to have any chance at a Black Hawk )

First reported sighting was (I think) a Black Hawk 3/2.
Spotted off Woodies on the same day as this vid almost caught it on camera.


Theres a fair clue as to who might have (damo'd it) oops I mean demo'd it on that footage
SWEET !!! - and what a great day it was.

Ahhhh one of the coolest tricks... Gets more attention than anything else from both onlookers and fellow kiters...

Everyone notices the guy (or chick) floating 15m up while he flips his board around effortlessly 3 times then chucks it back on his feet before he floats down...

90% of the time no1 will notice the underloop s-mobe to blind lol...

I shall be trying a blackhawk tomorow

I would have thought the CHOPPER version involved losing an ear.
And the Blackhawk a headfirst landing.
