but you said that they did 1440 degrees in spins and 1080 degrees in flips. That equals 2520 degrees of rotation, which is far off of what they actually did. They only did 1440 degrees TOTAL, or 4 times around, between both the flipping and spinning.

No they wouldn't have, because the flipping and spinning negate each other to some degree. You can very clearly see that he basically flatspins and throws the corks around. Even when he is not corking he is spinning, so it doesn't make sense that he only spins 360. As i said, corks are not like rodeos, the flips are not added to the overall rotation.

lol if they did 1440 in spins and 1080 in flips then they would have spun 2520 degrees

No one is arguing that. 

[elasdickband027]

Both of you are wrong. They both did 1440 in spins and 1080 in flips. Corks are not rodeos, the flips aren't included in the total rotation. You can see the spins, you just have to look carefully as they cheat the rotations. If it was a 360 spin, it would just be an off-axis triple backflip 3.
