@birdhouse555 aerial is known as a cartwheel with no hands, done in karate and gymnastic forms, and its also known as a maneuver, like when a fighter jet does a barrel roll to dodge a missile, its called an aerial maneuver...

@OldSkoolKarate 3 way tie - kim do, richard brandon, and jon valera. jon won =)
-
@birdhouse555 and he called his doubleleg a barrel roll...wtf?
-
@OldSkoolKarate ... ah, thanks for clarifying that! I have always been wondering over the years how the "Sideswipe" terminology changed from aerial switch to a super laid-back 540. Thank you!!!

@stylizhmathias /facepalm
aerial
reaching far into the air; high; lofty
It's not like the tricking community invented the word...

Haha, "a huge aerial to start". Its a freakin' backflip.
-
Yea its a cool trick, its called a pop 720 double
-
who won this competition? If i remember correctly wasn't there a Jon Valera video for this competition for a tie breaker?
-
this has always been my favorite tournament, so many epic forms, so many epic competitors - Double D's form is my personal fav I think, and of course the announcing deserves a mention :P
-
The three way tie was Kim Do, Jon Valera, and Richard Brandon (wushu). David was the only one that didnt tie. I thought DD was definitely a contender for the win.
who did he tie with?

It was a three way tie with Kim Do, David Douglas, and Mike Chat. I believe David Douglas won, but this form was still epic.
