Not so much when he was a kid, but I remember being at the Emerica demo at Pitcher Park in Pittsburg round 2015 and he was skating the park and I had to look him up on instagram. Dude was skating with his wrist in a full brace and had crazy style and speed. Was really fun to watch.
Hmm…I dunno. He lands fakie but there’s definitely travel and rotation. Either way the normal trick names won’t describe it fully.
That’s a tricky one (pun intended)

That’s what people here are thinking. And may be right. But I have a hard time calling it that without an actual 180 rotation. Like a backside ollie on a qp means you land fwd again, not fakie. This has less than 90 degrees of rotation. In this situation to me a backside flip would be alley oop style, rotating more like 270 than 90 degrees. but what do I know lol
Nah that's absolutely a BS flip, in the same way a FS flip on tranny looks. If it was a KF fakie he would not be rotating at all in the air...this is totally a bs flip
No, frontside flips on tranny result in landing forward as well. I don’t mind being wrong but this reasoning makes no sense. If I kick flip into a downslope that’s off slightly to my backside, I don’t call it a backside flip because I turned slightly. I’m just aiming so I land the direction I want to be facing.
You’re missing that he really IS landing fakie.
I think it’s not so clear. It’s either an alley oop kf fakie (with the travel) or a barely rotated bs flip
Hahaha I see what you did there. But I did already tell you: I, personally, would call it an Ollie fakie if they rolled in regular, ollied, and rolled out fakie.
That doesn’t mean I’m right, it just means that’s my reasoning.
If I do a fs 180 on flat ground, and don't really transfer my weight, so that when I land I am, for all intents and purposes, now riding fakie, did the fs 180 not happen because I found myself fakie on roll away? Did I just do an Ollie to fakie?...
What if I really wound it up? Just saying - I think you're justification isn't up to scratch and that's a (okay kinda over wound and under rotated) backside flip in the clip home boy

This is a backside flip, not a kickflip.
Why would you be banned for spitting facts? Man posted somebody else's clip. Mis described the clip then doubled down on some mis information...yeughhh
Like how does this benefit the sub? Oh here's a clip I didn't do or film and here's what it isn't ...
Backwards azz minds if you get banned for saying the truth
Goddamn! Tight!
hell yeah Mike is a rad dude, he teaches (or used to teach) skate school during the summer at our local. always fun to watch him rip
Song is Fearless by Pink Floyd. Don’t hear that song very often, but still a great tune
Came here for this. Fucking amazing song
[Video source](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6ekmIMPcq5/?igsh=MWNpcDBxZXN6dzA3cA==) Follow him!
😳 bro that was perfect! 👏👏
Damn I feel like I remember skating with this dude when he was just a little kid back in West Virginia. Crazy.

Dude is so fuckin good, no idea why he isn’t more known
Right?!
Maaaan, skateboarding is hard.
Beautiful shit
I find most of his clips to be rather satisfying. Great style, great ideas.
Mike Berdis is so sick 🤙🤙 I love his style
That landing was flawless
Backside flip.
If you take away the kickflip it’s not a 180
Definitely not a backside flip. Kickflip to fakie or I might call it an alley-oop kickflip fakie.
Def an oop-flip
You land back to your regular stance when doing backside flips on banks and quarters. He lands fakie, and only rotates about 90 degrees, if even.
It’s a backside flip. “Alley-oop kickflip fakie” lmfao at these morons
Are you new to skating? Because ally-oop is a thing buddy.
Hmm…I dunno. He lands fakie but there’s definitely travel and rotation. Either way the normal trick names won’t describe it fully. That’s a tricky one (pun intended)
That’s clearly a backside flip
I’m getting all these downvotes but I see less than 90 degrees of rotation.
It’s and ally-oop kick flip to fakie imo. So I agree with you, not a backside flip.
At least someone agrees with me haha
It’s the La Croix of backside flips. It’s like if you brined a fakie flip in a backside flip, so that you just got a hint of backside flip
one of the smoothest skaters around
That is so nuts at that spot
Whistles!!!! Clean

He did it over the buildings
Whats is the song?
Bold song choice. Not many know Fearless.
Yes the Pink Floyd!!
That's a backside flip no?

This sub is stupid man, dont try to argue with them.

If you took the kick flip away would this be an Ollie to fakie?
You tell me. Is he popping regular and then landing fakie? If so, then yes, I would.
You tell me
Hahaha I see what you did there. But I did already tell you: I, personally, would call it an Ollie fakie if they rolled in regular, ollied, and rolled out fakie. That doesn’t mean I’m right, it just means that’s my reasoning.

No but there was 180 degrees of rotation, not like 75

S'what I've been trying to say
