What's this trick?

Definitely a noob question, but does anyone know what trick it is that Ben Greenwood does at about 1:11 in this clip from Innuendo?

I'm pretty sure its the first invert in the clip. Just looks sick and I wanted to be able to put a name with it. Thanks!

It looks like he's grabbing his nose, but I could be mistaked. Looked like a TS pete rose to me.

idkkk he deff grabbed the nose but i dont know if its a pete rose, because he doesnt do a full backroll, he does about half the flip and goes the opposite way, and it doesnt really look like he spun, he just went up and back, could be wrong Confused

nvm he spins

Nemesis7384, that's what I was thinking, it doesn't look like he completes the back roll for it to be a pete rose. Benny G's definitely got style.

Sinkoumn, no joke, the guy is incredible. When I first found that vid I watched it at least five times in a row.

There's no invert or spin. It's a nose glide.

looks at first like its a batwing that he took so high that he started to spin/invert then he brings it back around. Its like a bs 180 to a fs 180.

Well I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that can't figure out what the heck the guy is doin. Smile

Wakebrad, OuachitaWaker, deffinitely a pete rose. you see the handle pass when he lands? petes look weird when the handle is passed late like that, it looks like the rider goes upside down, switches direction, then goes down the opposite way he went up

LakeIolaLuke, he doesnt flip over, he goes upside down, but instead of finishing the roll he stops and comes back down the way he started. He did half a back roll, and half a bs 180, instead of finishing the bs 360 and the back roll he goes back normal.

Definitely a grapped pete rose.

OuachitaWaker, I believe your getting confused, because he is coming back down the way you would in a flip, but since the handle pass is late it appears that he isn't rotating. I think...?

i dont know, he cuts in toeside (left foot back i dunno if hes reg or goof). Then he brigns it up batwing style and keeps goin till he is inverted. the reason he does a 180 at the top of his "invert" is cuz if you watch he holds onto the rope with his back hand and grabs the nose with his lead. he holds his back on the entire time and lands blind with the late pass. But he never completely rotates the inver. I have 2 movies with guys that throw petes and blind petes and they each all look different.

OuachitaWaker, A PeteRose is one of those tricks that varies from rider to rider. I especially like Benny G's Pete because of how he does them. This is def a Nose Grab PeteRose though, but he starts the first FS 180 real early so thats why it looks a little different than normal. But doing that first 180 sooner allows for more time to reorient yourself, and it also makes the trick as a whole look allot smoother because he isnt rushed to do the entire rotation at the same time in the air. Def a Pete though. I'm willing to put money on it...
