@@presgeeztv9603 It gets confusing though. They had like four names for the kick flip (Magic flip was one etc.). I like how trick names got standardized and make at least SOME sense. Especially for new combos of tricks, you'll need the fs 360 revert out type names IMHO. And honestly, a lot of 'old' names have been pretty much forgotten about, like Disco flip, Royal flip, Magic flip, Illusion flip etc.

Kind of late, but changing arm movement will help a lot on this. This trick is about the conservation of angular momentum. Bring your arms in close touching the body and start the spin with the upper body while pushing your arms out. The arm push out will slow the spin down but add extra torque which will carry the trick through. Starting with your arms further out out means working harder to generate enough torque to spin the body and the board around. This is a straight up ballet technique, it's how they load all the twists and spins. It's also how Rodney sets it up as he got older and more practiced. Learning how to do this will help any body rotational trick since both the speed and amount of spin can be controlled with just arm extension. When I see people do tricks like this more often than not they are starting with their elbows out and arm already at about a quarter extension. I'll say this though, it's a shoulder workout getting this right. Starting from close in means more speed on the initial rotation, pushing your arms out slows that rotation and brings the body around by torquing it, but all that extra initial speed converted to torque is directly on the shoulders in a way force normally isn't loaded on shoulders. Getting it down will cause shoulders to ache.

The thing about spin tricks, just like flip tricks is that they're all in your head. It's a complete departure from what your body is structured to feel is "okay". The confidence required for graceful execution only comes from a lot of repetition of the small successes or from struggling through just throwing yourself all in on it. As always Jonny, you're a beast. Love everything you stand for man.

Hi Jonny, if you ever want to revisit this trick, Rodney seems to be using his front foot to keep the board rotating, it does not leave the board, where you are using your back foot to do that and thus for you it is harder to get that last rotation in, in the air. As you can clearly see in your last comparson. Great great great effort by the way :)

One of my absolute go to tricks - I've gotten so many letters on people in skate with the Helipop. I never do them with any revert action, full rotation only, sometimes to manual. Before I stopped skating for the winter, I had my normal stance, fs 360s going pretty good...got a few fully rotated. The true Helipop is quite tricky, over stuff, especially if you want it to level out and not be like a sharp, upward, arching movement which can cause too much, downward force and not enough forward momentum on impact - causing wheel bite, unintentional powersliding, can jam your back knee if it's still bent on impact, etc.
