Sal Flips

I was going to do a list of the top ten "Sal flips"; however when I started to put the list together I got to this part and just had to stop and watch it the whole way through. I think Adam McNatt is one of the most underrated pro's ever, and this part is just so ahead of it's time. What he does at 38 seconds in blows my mind every time I see it. People made a big fuss about Gino's 360 manual down the Roslyn banks,(which don't get me wrong, is amazing), but his old team mate does what I think is the first one ever at 1:20. Oh yeah, by the way, the "Sal Flip" is at 1:57.
