Based on that sequence and the fact that the rider keeps his head up and drops his arms and that I never see him duck his head I'd call it an Ole 5. Close call though.

Can you do off axis fives? If so, throw it exactly like that off the wake/kicker. Keep your left arm down low at your side like you're going to do a handle pass, but then bring it up and over your head at the last second. This will keep you from going too off axis into a back roll.
