Now Im 100% sure:
This is a tailwhip one handed back briflip. The fact that it's a one handed briflip is clear because he releases his left hand while flipping on the right side of his body. You could keep both hands on the bars but doing a whip briflip is hard: it can be possibly done if you kick the deck with your back foot (Ive done that standing on the ground, I think John Radtke said that he did it this way, and Nate Grant posted a clip of an attempt of this trick, I think it was done another way as it was hella off axis though). So the one handed version is easier to rotate but harder to land, because you have like no control of the scooter, you can only huck and hope to land it.
As for naming tricks, there is a need for a fancy name only for something that can't be named using either other tricks or some easy destription of the trick (backflip and barspin are some names like that). I have a trick on my mind that will be called a Peter roll because I see no reasonable way of naming it, cause it's something totally new. I still have to try it on a box, foam pit practice might also occur necessary for it, plus I feel like I suck too much do do it now - but that kind of feeling is something common when it comes to new tricks.
This whole conversation is pointless anyway, anyone can huck a 'weird flipy thingy' and not land it.
