Mute Backside 180 Pics

I always see indy bs 180's, but very rarely mute bs 180's....

Mute is grabbing with your front hand between your knees. bs 180, you have to hold the handle with your front hand. I guess you could wrap it first.

You don't need to wrap it, you would just have to do two handle passes. Watch this video of Randall Harris to see a bunch (both regular and switch).

I love doing them, I have a shot somewhere I will upload it when I get home. Its not a sequence tho-. Garret is right you dont have to wrap it at all, you just have to get your front hand back on the rope befoe you turn it to blind, then you can either pass it or land wrapped.

I can't watch that video enough times.

Okay I understand, Andy. I've seen Randall do them like you describe and some other riders in videos.

But, does a mute bs 1 have to consist of the mute grab at the beginning?

Can a mute bs 1 consist of a bs1 rotation and then (what I guess would be) a mute grab as you come down for the landing? It is the same hand and position you would have used for a mute but now its technically your back hand after the bs1 rotation...Or would that grab just be considered an Indy?

In simpler words, you launch, initiate the bs1, complete the bs1 transition and handle pass accordingly, and on your down or the last part of the trick you grab with your (now) trailing hand in the middle of your board.

Totally, why not, I love doing BS 180s with a handle pass then a grab. I would consider it a "backside 180 mute grab," opposed to a "mute grab backside 180." Totally different.

Oh, I see. Dumb question in hindsight.

Wow, let's not confuse people here.

Ben Greenwood does a mean one as well...


thats not confusing...you say the trick in the order it happens...

I forgot how awesome that vid is

Jr

I completely agree, just say it in the order it happens.

Does anyone know the speed and rope length he is riding in the above video

Does anyone know what song that is in that video??

the song is da rockwilder by method man and redman. and randall is probably riding 90 ft at 28mph

it is method man for sure. judgement day i think is the name of the song. i used to rock it all the time.

just wondering; what's the advantage to riding tht fast?

nope, not from Judgement Day, it's from Meth and Redman's album Blackout. I think da rockwilder is correct
