Cool trick

If you frame by frame it you can see that it is clean. Now to get paranoid schizephrenia on film. Enjoy.

It's hard to tell, given the video quality, but based on the timing of the delay and the way your head moves after the duck, I wouldn't call this clean. The move you are describing should have two distinct spins, followed by an osis. This looks more like a spin, a duck, and then like an osis where you're looking over the wrong shoulder. Does that make sense? Like I can't see two distinct spins in this trick before an osis. No offense at all, and I hope this is coming across as the honest assessment it is intended to be.

With double peeking osis I always argue that if you don't spot both ducks, the trick is "the." In the trick you posted, it looks like you aren't spotting the second spin, which is why I would not say this trick is double gyro.

I would love to see this trick, and I'm sure with some tweaking you could totally get it.

Good (but honest) vibes, Ken.

Thanks.
This isn't the best I've hit it but I'll try and film it where the gyro dive is more pronounced. I think it is clean just very sloppy. Maybe if the osis wasn't so scoopy? Idk I'll clean it up.

I do kind of agree with it being caught in a frigid position.......

I just tried this and I am basically hitting spinning diving gyro frigid clipper too....so I really dont have advice on how to clean it up other than set a tiny bit higher, go faster so u can catch the osis without as much of a scoop and I think it will make a big difference.....Either way ...cool trick .....you just inspired me to hit gyro diving clipper b2b.....thanks

Keep pushing! 8)

Tips:
- set, and instantly lift both feet off the ground and spin in the air
- set a little higher and do the dive the same instant you land both feet on the ground (both feet land simultaneously)
- complete the dive as the bag is still rising slightly
- again do a little hop with both feet and turn back the other way in the air, keeping the elbows up (bag has started falling)
- land both feet simultaneously and with good tall posture do a regular osis

The key here is to separate the trick into 3 parts, each with equal timing. 1st is hop as you spin and diving when you land, 2nd is hop back into second gyro, 3rd is osis. Any different timing and the trick will be hard sell to call clean.

Good luck! :)

Ricky Moran hit this years ago and got all 3 turns in the trick. Sorry not new. I CAN'T DO THIS TRICK, but if you want advice, when Ricky was hitting it I remember him having to get the gyro dive and as he cleared the dive he was snapping back for the second gyro and he still had plenty of time to spot then osis. After gyro dive gyro the bag was still above waist height. He had great balance though. I think when he hit it someone else had already hit it, not sure who though. Lon or Felix mabey.
I like to play.
I want to play good.

Thanks a ton for the tips guys! They make a lot of sense. I was pretty sure Ricky had hit it but I like the name since it is similar to paranoia. I need to add another gyro for the invention.
