I just learned on a different thread on page 1 that it's the same as 'Wrecking Ball'.

See I'm educating already! Very Happy

im prettysure its awrpped whirlybird, u kind of take off wrapped and as your unwrapping do a overhead 3

No whirly 5 its all the same. I mean why would wrap up then still take the handle over your head?

idk, thats just what it is, it looks cooler

whirlybird5-that's not even close. there is no such thing as any kind of wrapped whirly, it is a big misconception. An iron cross is the same as a moby, only the handle is wrapped instead of being passed. a whirly is the same rotation as both of those, but the handle is ole-ed on the b/s 3 instead of wrapped or passed.

WhirlyBird5, your dumb...Why in the world would you wrap, and then ole it. and why would you do a whirly with your back hand...just shut up...

HoustonJ, Its a Wrapped moby dick...pretty sure Darin invented it, and if he didnt, he's the only person i've seen do one...

Tyler~Moore, actually i believe in shaft, shapiro did a whirly with his rear hand, it is called a spiderman, its the only time ive seen it, but i know that a rear handed whirly is called a spiderman

kyle, thats crazy, how did he get the whilry action using his back hand? I might have to by shaft just to see it

kyle · Guest

i have no idea how he did it, to tell you the truth it was pretty ugly but that had to take SOOOO much strength, it was off the double up

kyle- shapiro also did a spiderman at round three in the world cup off the double up

yeah shapiro did one in shaft..

dont know if i'd call it ugly or good looking, but it looks pretty mad all the same. Took me ages before i even understood what was going on as it looks pretty different.

Shapiro didnt do a spiderman in Shaft it was an Iron Cross. It looks similar to a spiderman when he does them because of how high he holds his hand while hes unwrapping. The handle position is suppose to be what seperates an Iron Cross from a Wrecking Ball. If you want to see a spiderman watch Switch 22 during the westside section, Ricky G does a couple in there.
