S-Bend Question

I know an S-Bend is a raley with a backside 360 rotation...but is it still considered an S-Bend with a frontside 360 rotation? just wanted to know because i almost landed one the other day...

No, that's a big layed out backroll.

damn...thats what i was thinking it might be..looks alot different from a backroll though..got it on tape..and i go into a raley and then spin the 360 and pull it in like an S-bend...pretty cool move to just be called a backroll...

Or is an S-bend just a big laid out front flip?

Celtic Boarder, it's definitely not because it has the raley in it first. if anything, a raley w/ a FS 360 handle over the head, is just a 313, but no handle pass.

Big layed out backroll = common when learnign Raley's. Coming in backfoot heavy and being used to throwing backrolls will certianly produce this flight path

that makes alot of sense..cuz it was only like my 3rd try at a raley...i go out fine...but cant stop it from rotating 360...but pull it in fine also...so i guess i need to try it again with more weight on my front foot...
