Ryan Upchurch...Flair 6? whip.



I can't even count that high, whats wrong with this kid???  Doin it for Blunt, ECX, and Inside.  Apparently he was only going for the quint whip, but accidentally stuck the sextuple.  This kid is seriously messed up haha.

Edit:  I wasn't gonna post this saying I thought it was only five but many other people are agreeing that it is "just five".  Like BK said in the comments, if you count from when the back wheel passes by his feet, its definitely 5.  Regardless, doing that many whips while upside down is still super crazy, I don't think anyone but him even does flair quads?  Someone can correct me on that though.

Edit #2:  Dmazz posted a video in the comments of another angle of Ryan's clip.  What do you think it is?  Check out the new poll up top and let us know how many whips you think it is.

    When I said I can't even count that high...I actually do mean that I can't count 6 whips there. but ryan says its 6 and unless theres footage from a better angle I'll have to say 6.

    Its not 6, trust me and BK lol. Count it closely it only passes by his feet 5 times, its just the flip that makes it look like there's a 6th

    I'm more impressed that people think it's 6 than I am that he landed it :P

    if you count how many times the deck whips around from the starting point, its 6. if you count how many times it passes his feet, its 5

    in the very begining it looks like he did two because his body covered the deck but after watching about 20 times i realized he only did one meaning he did five, not six

    It's five, you have to think that it's 180... so see how many times the deck goes below the feet.

    that shit is SICK but i must say it's quit, like BK and Kenny are saying, if it was sextuple, a 360 whip would be called 360 double whip then.
    BTW, props Ryan, that shit still dope, keep it up.

    There's one whip that he throws while his body is infront of the deck I think

    at first i thought forsure it was 6 since he is upside down and turned the other way but it you watch closely and take in consider that he is upside down and turned the other way its actually 5

    if you just watch near his arms, it looks like six, but if you watch the deck.. its for sure 5. i think that might be why people think its six cause his arms move as if was throwing six.
