Sora Shirai Gazelle Flip Raw Cut

[@driklyn1]

The strange thing about this trick is that 99% of the bails look like you have no idea what you are doing and are just flipping/spinning like crazy and hoping your feet somehow magically land back on the board upright.

[@AlexAnder-op7yc]

I'd say around 70% because there are some real nicely timed ones and you can slowly see him adapt and catch later/slow down

[@goinham9469]

It's a backside bigspin plus a 180. If you watch closely you'll see he gets the first half almost always, that catch right before the last 180 is the hard part

[@rubenhernandez4097]

Tbh that's exactly how you do this trick down stuff

and thats what makes it the hardest trick landed in competition but not high enough to get into the 1st place

[@taylorbrown5]

Kids, the feeling he got after landing that is far FAR better than any drug known to man. Take it from someone with first hand experience. That was Straight Dope.

Two front 180s, then straight to a gazelle flip.....quite the warmup 😂

I mean yeah...that's kinda how a warmup works. You don't stay there getting broke off on various challenging tricks that's not a warmup.

[@nicgin3945]

I'd been happy just landing the 180

[@go1988]

The perseverence shown by Sora, the filmer, and the crew is nothing but incredible. Simply amazing :O

[@EaSkateVideo]

Well, guess I have to start doing these in my videogames as well to stay up to date on the new levels of realism! 😮

[@SimonB.]

Crazy trick. You dont see this often

[@letsgooo1637]

Man skateboarding got to be the hardest thing ever. in Hockey you’re goaling a great game your teammates won’t even talk to you, in baseball you’re pitching a great game your teammates won’t even talk to you, in golf and tennis you’re not even allowed to sneeze around players... in skateboarding, you gazelleflip a 10 and you’ve got to handle vintage douches, police officers, pain, rain, sprains, look out for kids, homie’s cams and security guards and keep it all steezy otherwise people will barely count it hahaha...

[@eseantonio7856]

I love raw films that shows all the effort they put into the trick.

[@PuertoRicanStyL]

Imagine landing this on your first try at a best trick contest on a similar set up, and losing.. And also getting a lower score than someone who did a switch kickflip to nose grind.

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

People who don't understand skateboarding simply have no idea what it takes the dedication the pain the sweat the tears the perseverance just everything man. This amount of attempts for a sick ass trick but all in all every attempt all 13 mins or so was just to get that 3 SECOND CLIP IF HIN LANDING IT!

I always wonder where the limit is but it always seems like it might never come. This was a battle but done so clean it is Amazing!

even in slow mo i can't tell exactly the board rotations and flips... what exactly is the number of flips/rotations?

[@mugenkazi22]

Board goes 540 with one flip, body 360. So like a big flip with an extra 180.

[@Neildo430ci]

Imagine if the level of skating like this was around 20 yrs ago. I couldn't imagine that trick of that level possible. We/my crew was decent. But we motivated each other. Nowadays you dont see skaters rolling in packs.

[@corks8807]

God damn that took way more tries than i expected. The one he did at dew tour was like 2nd try and was around the same size

A gazelle is a 540 shove with a 360 body rotation. A gazelle flip is a 540 flip with a 360 body rotation. A bigger heel is a 540 bigspin heelflip.
