@@chachmcgrach2053 you know what, because of your comment I went back and looked at it and this is a halfcab 360 inward heel. It's not a body varial but that is definitely not a normal inward heel

@@ThePauseMenuVlog I actually think the body varial cut the inward from a 360 to a normal. Like a varial kickflip. You throw a body varial in there now you have a backside kickflip. Whole different trick same flip

doesn't seem that bad, PJ loses his turn to a redo, most of his drags are on defense (bigger margin for error) and even P Rod drags the toe a little on his nollie heel on offense and doesn't have to redo it.
