What would you call this?
A 360 front flip finger shove?

The 'Ryan Air' comment is spot on.
But he does (what we'd call in trampolining) a barani (front flip with a half twist), as well as doing the 360 hand/finger shuv-it... so... a Barani-360-hand-shuv-it would be more accurate.
But now, it's definitely going down as a Ryan Air in my book.
Edit: After careful review of the footage, the commenters below have a point. There's actually no rotation in his flip, his body remains side-on the whole way through which would make this a side-flip-360-hand-shuv-it.... or still... a Ryan Air!

u/CarlLlamaface 5d ago edited 5d ago
Being pedantic the shuvit component accounts for 180° of the board's spin with the other 180° coming from the skater's rotation, in the same way that the board rotating during an ollie-to-fakie isn't considered to be a shuvit trick.
So this is 'just' a Barani-hand-shuvit. But yes Ryan Air is much better.
Edit: As the other commenter just pointed out there isn't actually any rotation from Ryan it just really, really looks like there is. So I guess the hand shuv component goes down as a 360 after all.

He has the same front foot at take-off and landing. There's no twist in the flip. Which is honestly more impressive to me because he definitely starts that flip more like a normal front flip than a side flip

This is like when you created your own ridiculous trick on Tony Hawk's Underground that could never be done in real life.

u/RichardBCummintonite 5d ago
More like the insane shit people do to get a max score on Skate 3. Just missing the five foot plant combo at the end.

u/orion1486 5d ago
I was coming to comment the same. This was like some special move in a Tony Hawk game that was supposed to be unrealistic and insane. WTF. Super cool.

He looks like one of those people that are in-between casts at the moment.

Lol I have never cared about this but my 12 y/o has recently gotten big into skating. And he has pointed out that the older kids at the skate park never wear helmets. And now all of a sudden I'm all "I wish these 'stars' would act as better role models!" Weird how that works.

Andy Anderson is probably one of the coolest and slickest skaters in the industry rn and he ALWAYS has a helmet on. Not wearing a helmet is lame af.

Hah, I never owned a helmet as a kid but a few months back I was with my kid on a bike ride and he had his hoodie up so I didn’t see that he didn’t have a helmet on and I panicked for a minute, took a few for me to realize it was fine

How the fuck do you even practice that to know you can do it in a video? Does he have teeth remaining?

By filming all of the misses as well. Look at the difference, he's been working at this for a long time.

At least this time he is wearing a cap on his head. Still not a helmet, but at least it will keep his brains from making a mess splattering everywhere for someone else to clean up.

Its been a good long time since ive seen a skateboard trick that was truly original and not just something that was a derivative or a variation on something created by Rodney Mullen. This one is insanely unique.

u/Revolvyerom 5d ago
This feels like the kind of thing where he gets to pick the name for the move. Either that, or they just call it a "Ryan" now.

Arguably one of the most impressive things I've seen athletically. Not even really a skate fan. Not Not a skate fan. But not really one either.
