Trixionary: Kick Flip McTwist with skateboarder Danny Mayer

[lilparis47]

↑+→ +x

there, i just did one

[Tannz0rz]

@lilparis47 LOL

[coronet]

Tough. It seemed so easy in THPS.

[Theo665]

This is a 540 kickflip. It's sick, but it's not a kickflip Mctwist.

[CarlJr94]

@Theo665 No it's really called Kickflip mctwist...you can't call it 540 flip cause the board must spin 540 itself to be a 540 flip but it downs't it's a kickflip and then a mctwist

[Brettmobile10]

damn dude that was sick!

[nefarioustrumpet]

is this sposed to be a trick tip??? cuz im pretty sure no one else can do this trick lol

[cuberslashskater]

Man he's a very vocal skater ain't he.

[jaschasuess]

But will he blend?

[andrewmcbridemusic]

I know he can do it. But the one at the end looked like a regular kickflip 540 mute to me. Does anyone agree?

[cuberslashskater]

@andrewmcbridemusic A bs 540 is the same as a Mctwist cause it naturally looks front flippy cause your on a vert ramp.

[andrewmcbridemusic]

@cuberslashskater In a McTwist, you go upside down, otherwise it's just a normal bs 540. You have to go upside down in the spin to make it a mctwist.

[cuberslashskater]

@andrewmcbridemusic If u asked Mike Mcgill (the guy who invented it), he would say that there's no difference between the two. 

[cuberslashskater]

@andrewmcbridemusic If u asked Mike Mcgill (the guy who invented it), he would say that there's no difference between the two.

[andrewmcbridemusic]

@cuberslashskater Oh really. I wasn't aware that you personally asked him.

[soulsie9]

awesome



[MrIskatecuzimcool]

i can do that in skate 3 first try...this guy sucks

[Hyamez]

@MrIskatecuzimcool ru fuckin srs troll, this real life thats a game go getsum pussy

[MrIskatecuzimcool]

@Hyamez wow asshole, i was just fucking kidding

[DavidAngelesTiangco]

Gnarly!

[TheKTSHProductions]

When u mess up the trick u sound like my grandma yelling at the cat

[Namelessbmx]

540+Frontflip+mute= McTwist, not a bs 540

[LordLars116]

finally a pro whos falling a few times ;D

[jizzy2k]

You suck I landed this on my first try

[sethzky77]

That's just a 540. not a mctwist. Who's this guy fooling?  not me.

[Thobe11]

da freut man sich über knieschoner :D

[baseball52531]

he alwways says stuff in mid air

[HAKKY2112]

Well he could be a bit more inverted to make it a total McTwist, but it's pretty LEGIT if you ask me.....then there's the SW Double McTwist...!!

[charliebutterworth]

a mc twist is a backside 540 mute

[q3mk]

@charliebutterworth Calling it a backside 540 mute is redundant as mutes have to be done backside or else they are slob.

[MYKEGREGORY]

THATS NOT A FUCKING MCTWIST!

[nukkqaplease]

@MYKEGREGORY kickflip + mctwist= kickflip 540= Kickflip Mctwist

[redbullover1]

a mctwist sounds like an epic McDonalds Meal!

[LiveTheDream314]

mctwist.. to nose manny.. to 900 out .. then switch hardflip back nose blunt in the same line.

[victornoergaard]

mctwist is the best burger EVER!

[skaterul3s]

a mc twist is a 540 and a flip

[iBombBigHills]

that just looks like a kickflip 540

[Jayhawker30]

Sliding on those knee pads looks like fun.

[Rollschuhblog]

I think McTwist was more like a corked 5?

[MrMicErick]

hes crazy but gay as fuck

[TheJaw10]

thats not a mctwist. a mctwist is a flip and a 360 at the same time.

[TheDeathofanAngel]

I saw a monster energy cap !

[Bawiaani5]

nice but that wasnt a mctwist

[kendra123cass]

whos that hott pirson in the black??

[JusDevon]

Mctwist is an inverted 5, dude who said backflip 180, is more correct than a straight up 5, it's not a backflip, but you could describe it to someone like that

[851852093114208513]

I thought a McTwist was a BS 540 Mute..?

[juhizz94]

@851852093114208513  a mctwist is an inverted 540 bs mute, and spins exactly like a 180 frontflip but doesnt look like it because of the vert.

[851852093114208513]

@juhizz94 Damn... Even spelled out that sounds like a shit-load of spin and hope for the best XP

[xethanxflipsburgers]

wel thats a bad trick teaching.. telling me a mctwist is a 540..

thats not correct.

[MichaelGriechen]

dude a mc twist isnt a NORMAL 540

[lxkeanu11234xl]

nice vid

[AbberancyDNB]

vert ANYTHING is so fucking nuts.

[66birdman66]

mctwist is pretty much a 180 backflip. (a flair on a bike). a 540 is the same number of rotations, but without the angle on it. this is not a legit kickflip mctwist. still insane though.

[TheMcRyan]

@66birdman66 are you retarded 180 backflip?? a mctwist is a bs 540 mute grab you retard and you would think a pro skater would no what a mctwist is so why the hell did you think you would be correct.

[66birdman66]

@TheMcRyan a 180 backflip is pretty much the same as a 540, retard.

but if you asked someone like bucky lasek to do a mctwist, it wouldnt loom the same as a regular 540. this is just a cheap way of doing a kickflip mctwist.

[TheMcRyan]

@66birdman66 how the fuck is a 540 the same as a 180 backflip jesus a Mctwist HAS NOT got a 180 backflip/frontflip in it it looks like it does because its a bs mute grab, do you even skate because iam presuming you must be crap.

[66birdman66]

@TheMcRyan i meant 180 frontflip. and yes, they are pretty much the same. it's like an inverted 540.

[66birdman66]

@TheMcRyan yes i do skate

[sk8erdude571]

wait.. what? i thought a mctwist was a frontflip 180, is it not?

[plandc5]

i 13

[Budy63]

Kicktwist? xD

[plandc5]

My step dad broke his ankle trying to do a mick twist and I'm sure Thairs a flip or some thin in a Mick twist becas if thair wasent thay wuled gust call it a 540 and he broke his ankle caz when he came down his pants or some thin got coght on the copeing

[jeffrey135]

@plandc5 dude whats with your spelling?

[skaterJaCk78]

danny mayer's uncle is my schools janitor no joke

[mkbain99]

years later and this is still one of the biggest tricks in vert, and only Danny does it!

[66birdman66]

@mkbain99 no, Tony Hawk has done it. Danny isnt the only one.

[mkbain99]

@66birdman66 I never doubt the birdman can do any trick, but Danny is still the only person to land one in competition, which is what I was talking about. However, there are now more people doing similar tricks and I feel we will see a few 540 kickflips variations this year at the Dew Tour and X Games.

[Crs001]

its a 540 ok.. but over two angles.. im not that good in english so i cant explain em.

u do kind of a 360 over the horizintal angle and a 180 over the verticl angle..

so its a 540 but not just turnin round ur vertical angle

i hope u understood me.

and because of the horizontal angle many people say that theres a back or frontflip in it... beacause there is.

[sabo42O]

omg.. that was crazy trick.

[JaedmCIVIC]

not a real mc twist...look at any of tony hawks he gets vertical on his atleast bio

[Shakik1]

super mcvarial 900!

[daniel55430]

how....

do you that?

YOU ROCK MEN!!!

[willbriscoe97]

MASSIVE!

[TheXizpa]

Men, calling McTwist a 540 is like calling a 720 "Larry". I'ts just stupid.

[TheMcRyan]

@TheXizpa a mctwist is a 540, its a bs 540 mute grab but it does look like it has a frontflip or summat in it but in doesent

[lindl101]

ha its funny to see how many posers think that a mctwist has a back flip or a front flip in it. Its just a mute grab 540 on vert.

[catsrok101]

fail

[metalschooldrill]

A McTwist is a flip and a spin.

[seanissomething]

"It's a combination of 2 tricks; a kickflip mute and a 'McTwist', JUST A NORMAL 540..."

WHATTHEFLIP? This guys supposed to be a professional skateboarder?! Why would they give it another name if it was just a normal 540?!

Look in that 'related videos' section over there and see some ACTUAL McTwists. This is not one of them...

[TheMcRyan]

@seanissomething well that shows how much you know about mctwists because this is a real mctwist and iam pretty shure that danny a pro skater and mike mcgill who invented mctwist would no what it is and its a bs 540 mute grab btw

[sidops]

theres no flips just 540 kickflip...he doesnt get invereted

[RAEIVET]

i would be glad to at least learn how to ride a half pipe and do a180 that would be awesome to me

[vaznekz]

thats weird my name is Asa

[8cuda]

yes

[miriales]

eso no es un mc twist, eso es un 540

[blkskater32]

doesnt he skate for alliance??somebody write back

[lilleman1z]

plllz checkk outt my videoos :DD  lilleman1z

[brahhhboizzz]

u dont need to do a flip to make it a mctwist duhhhh!!

[thefaceofjames]

lol i like the way he slides down when he kacks it

[SPISheste]

i dont wanna be some kind of the smart person. but that my friend is not an mctwist. that was kickflip mute540

[nick3pritchard]

a mctwist is just a vert 540...

[aaronwestlakemusic]

if you ever actually do a mctwist, you'll realise its alot different to a 540

[Henrione]

a mctwist is an 540 frontflip

[thejordan01]

go back to THPS, that's not even possible.

[callumskater1]

lol all the th games r wrong its just a weird 540

[Mottoscapefilm]

Thats not even a mc twist .He need to go bach yard.

[lindl101]

its a mctwist alrite, a mctwist doesn't involve a front flip or backflip, its just a mute 540

[skaterdog1000]

doesnt even look like a mctwist

[1jaybaybay2]

sweet

[DGTinderbox4lif3]

No, people, it's obvious that Ronald McDonald invented the McTwist. It's common knowledge.

[m4ssee]

Haha xD

[freeruntn]

@DGTinderbox4lif3 mike mcgill invented the mctwist

[4lifebluechucks]

@freeruntn wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robinett11]

@freeruntn gain a sence of humor

[TheFrostyVision]

@DGTinderbox4lif3

it does sound like a burger.

but hey I found out their is a pro skater called andy macdonald so uhm maybe he is related to ronald and probably created the McTwist

[robinett11]

@DGTinderbox4lif3 your comment made my day

[rlclark50]

@DGTinderbox4lif3 Ronald McDonald also invented the Special Sauce McTwist, where you jizz your pants as you perform a McTwist. It's never been landed.

[DGTinderbox4lif3]

@rlclark50

challenge accepted

[Chamvy]

It was definetley invented by McDonald's.....

[Nathanb6424]

listen u dum fuckers.... mike might have invented it but he could never do it but tony actually did before him SO SUCK IT PEOPLE!

[samfulfordskates]

what the fuckery. tony saw mcgill do it in a contest and then spent ages trying to learn it. ps i read that in tony hawks autobigraphy soSUCK IT PEOPLE!

[Nathanb6424]

wrong.... tony did do the move first he did it first... he made the normal mctwist and the kickflip, even made a madonna mctwist but it was only was performed one...

[samfulfordskates]

(from wikipedia): In 1983 Tony Hawk took it to the next level when he invented the Frontside 540 (the inverted version of which is now known as the "Rodeo Flip"). But soon after, for some reason he lost the trick, and it didn't gain any sort of popularity until much later. In 1985, Mike McGill, then a pro skater for Powell, invented the McTwist, which is easily the most popular 540 variation ever. HA HA i win hawk was the first to do a 540 spin but mcgill invented the mctwist and did it first .

[Nathanb6424]

so basically tony did do it first.... just that he called it a mctwist lol.... fine he can have the name but tony did the move before it was even invented... thanks for proving my point... i win

[Nathanb6424]

whatever cba to argue

[samfulfordskates]

seriously now, do you actually skate? because mictwist is a backside 540. and the rodeo 540 (which tony did) is frontside. so they are two completley different tricks. i mean if you even knew what a rodeo 5 was you would know they are different straight away.

[Nathanb6424]

ure an idiot... seriously, tony did the mctwist both ways... i fed up of having this arguement with u cause u dont know. ive even talked to tony at bams midnight bash and he does the mctwist both ways doesnt change the name, anyway wheres this gill dude you on about, i dont see him having his own computer game? dont reply to this

[samfulfordskates]

omfg you dont know who mike mcgill is. and you are actually suggesting that tony is more reliable because he has a computer game!! dude get with the times tony hawk games are SHIT!! ea skate is where its at. of course tony can do a 540 frontside and backside, so an most vert pros that doesnt mean he invented it. it fucking says in tony hawks autoboigraphy that he saw mike do mctwist first and spent ages learning it. do you want me to fucking post a video of a photo of the page?

[CalIMehJesus]

rodney mullen doesn't have his own video game and he invented the fricken kickflip...shut up

[trickytree2]

rodney mullen invented the kickflip and mike mcgill invented the mctwist

[trickytree2]

no he didnt where r u getting this from

[greendayryguy]

dude shut up who cares its a trick, i invented the wheel and the phone!

[Nathanb6424]

mctwist was invented by tony but its just a anticlockwise 540 mute... just renamed it really my move is a dragoona flip, tripple kickflip and 360 and land.... try that tony!!

[drumandskate]

mike McGill invented it you fuck. tony hawk aint shit

[AVERYVISENTIN]

who the fuck is mike McGill

tony hawk is better thatn yo shit mother fucker

[drumandskate]

did i ever say i was better than tony hawk? mike mcgill invented this trick

[Longboarder140]

you do realize anticlockwise = spin to the left

and skaters can be either goofy or reg

it's 'frontside', or 'backside'

[treflip3601]

clockwise and counterclockwise has nothing to do with it

[joshaheen]

a mctwist is a backside 540 mute. the degree of axis has nothing to do with it.

[pittinaro]

nothing personal, the axis has everything to do with it

[joshaheen]

actually you are totally right. a backside 540 mute is a backside 540 mute. a mctwist is a backside 540 mute that is spun mickey style. I was just trying to prove to all of these clowns that a mctwist is not "a frontflip 180"

[vertskater91992]

you ,mean backflip.

[AlHouseProductions]

i believe jason elis has pulled this off before aswell. i remember him talking about it on one of the olllld tony hawk gigantic skatepark tour shows on espn back n the day

[wadswsf]

מגניב cool

[ohioskate25]

I caught his shoe at Kings Island after he won the contest. It was pretty rad, then Marcello Bastos signed it

[rollingthunder36]

i just met him and got his autogrpah but somebdy stole my poster at kings island

[batfink161]

I know of 3 people that can do this.

1.andy scott (first person to ever land flip mctwist)

2.tony hawk (second person...)

3.danny Mayer (third person...)

and i know two people that can put them down. sam bosworth age 14 in year 9 and sam beckett aged 16/17 not sure

[vertskater91992]

only danny mayer can do this trick.

[batfink161]

lol don't speak shit you dont know.

and no he isn't.

[tripleflipbodyvarial]

tony hawk invented the trick

[vertskater91992]

really?!

[Spongey1337]

lol fuckin retard Mike McGill invented it

[drumandskate]

no you fuck! mike mcgill invented it.

[tripleflipbodyvarial]

mcgill invented the mctwist but tony invented the kickflip mctwist. thats what i ment. why are you talkin about normal mctwists when the vid is about kickflip mctwists ?

[broady998]

yeah mcgill did.

[mrmogensen]

isnt that just a 540 kickflip mute?

[Gamer4life222]

ive done that know i havent lol

[LijnFtWhoopy]

I'm glad you have those knee protectors 0.0

[11tuge11]

mc twist amazing trick !!!!!!!

[LEMINEMINEM]

this guy fucking owns

[BaM1994BaM1994]

that was a beautifull mctwist

[pythontricker]

haha alex in the back ground.

[olliefakie]

I love you Danny!!! I remember when you were just a little shit form Nebraska wanting to learn stalefish airs.

Look at you now!!!! I can say I at least got you off of the street and riding the eat concrete vert ramp. Tell "Yogi" and home town mike I said hello!!

Come skate Edina with me!!!

Sincerely,

Justin Lynch

[djdevil0000]

gayness

[DriFTaZiLLa]

actually varial mctwist

[mattjns]

are you a little blind?

[DriFTaZiLLa]

actually its a bs 540 kickflip mute,not a kickflip mctwist

[mattjns]

1st you said it was a varial mctwist (wrong).

2nd, now you're saying it's a 'backside 540 kickflip mute?!?! That's a really long way of saying.........'kickflip mctwist'

Cheers

[DriFTaZiLLa]

dude,a mctwist is a frontflip bs 540 mute,not a 540 mute,so a kickflip mctwist will be,kickflip bs 540 frontflip mute,not kickflip bs 540,i sayd first time a varial mctwist cause i thought he was spinning with the hand

[mattjns]

dude, a mctwist is THE SAME THING AS A 540!!!

Some people do them a little more inverted than others, so I know what you mean with your crazy frontflip(?) terminology but that makes no difference at all to the name - mctwist / 540. So by your explanation, Danny Mayer doesn't know the name of the trick he's doing?!?! He names it at the beginning!!

[mattjns]

.....listen at 0:19. "a mctwist, just a normal 540"

[DriFTaZiLLa]

ffs,mike mcgill invented the mctwist ok? when he does the mctwist he does a 540 mute frontflip not just a 540,but LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE,just say mctwist is a 540 mute,so it would be alot easier to em,i checked some videos with mctwists,and it is how i say,than i checked at a friends game : tony hawk american wasteland or some, when i choosed edit a trick,and i added mctwist it was clearly a frontflip in there so stfu

[mattjns]

ok, no problem. I'm a 34 year old vert skater & you're a 22 year quoting video games for reference.

Dude, I REMEMBER when McGill invented it.

99% of skaters would agree they're the same, that's all I'm saying.

No need to be rude man. Talk as though we were face to face.

Relax. Call it what you like.

Cheers.

[DriFTaZiLLa]

i didnt quote this from video games,i verified it in video games, erm,w/e,i skate for fun not for competion,sorry for being rude but i have sometimes i get pissed of really quickly i dont know really why,but w/e,keep skateing

[DriFTaZiLLa]

skating*

[batfink161]

A McTwist is a 540 backside mute. end of.

So if your having ago at people make sure you get your story right

[DriFTaZiLLa]

u have no argument,my argument is : MIKE MCGILL the guy who created mctwist does a frontflip to,so mctwist is bs 540 mute frontflip,end of
