Skater spins 540 degrees
Reports are coming in from several sources around the globe that Powell & Peralta professional Mike McGill has completed the task of going up a vertical ramp, spinning 540 degrees in the air and then landing on the surface of the ramp again, facing the opposing wall.
It is also being said that McGill, who’s the first in the world to complete this task, will call the manoeuvre “The McTwist”. The Bearing caught up with the inventor to discuss the ridiculous stunt.
- 540 degrees. That means that you made one and a half spin around your own axle, right?
- Thats right, sir. I’m happy as chipmunk! Been trying this trick for years. And you know what?
- What?
- I had pop tarts for lunch.
- Good for you. About that name.
- Hee hee hee. It’s gonna stick. Believe me. George wanted me to call it The P&P Twister but it just didn’t have a ring to it, ya know.
- I hear you. So what’s next?
- Well, I have this catfish pond to empty tomorrow so I really don’t have time for this. Besides that, I’m having lunch with this upcoming new actor, Tom Cruise. He’s gonna be the shiznitz in the future. Laters.
- In the future?
