Ryan Upchurch - Flair Sextuple Whip

[tylerbillman]

I watch the slow-mo on facebook about ten times and came to the conclusion that there's a whip that he spins while his body is blocking a view of the whips from the camera, aka right as he starts to whip and flair.

It's six whips.

A double whip passes your feet one time. The second time it comes around you land it.

Ryan and I stayed up all night watching it over and over. We counted six EVERY time. Then I passed out and he watched it for another hour. Still six whips every time he counted.

yeah guys its 5 whips, you count how many rotations the deck makes a full 360. And don't count the 180 as a whip, if it was really a sextuple flair he'd be technically be doing 6-1/2 whips but he only did 5-1/2.

 

[DavidCronin]

to be honest i counted 7. i wouldnt even argure about it, even if it was 5 its still sick as fuck and i dont see any of you guys doing that.

 

[Realscooters8978]

its 6 ima a smartical and i can count to 6!

all you kids saying it only passes his feet 5 times no ----- a double only passes once, a tripple passes twice, a quad passes three times, a quint passes 4, and a sextuple passes 5, so you proved yourself wrong

yeah but it only passes his feet 4 times, landing it on the 5th rotation, making it a 5 whip

 

[parrish]

um, no

 

[Matthew_D]

everyones confusing his first whip as two. Since he turns for the flair it looks like he does a full whip when its just a half. Watch wait till the deck passes under his feet then start counting

Each number represents the completion of a tailwhip. I will quit scooters if someone can find me the sixth whip.

 

[parrish]

missed the first one

 

[DavidCronin]

lets just get the kid to do it again, and film it from all angles, and in 2000fps so that we can really see it
SO PEOPLE CAN STOP BITCHING

 

[brandon kilbury]

frame grab the first whip when it gets all the way around, it's the first frame I posted.

[brandon kilbury]

there's a button on your computer called prntscrn if you have a pc, then ctrl+v in paintbrush to paste. Now you have no excuse, or anyone for that matter. if someone can frame grab 6 tailwhips like I said I will quit scooters
