Thats pretty sick!
But it should be named properly. Its a Kickflip Indy (grab). Totally different trick to a Kickflip where it is caught solely with the feet, not hands first.

Fake? How do you know? Not saying it’s not, but looked pretty legit to me. You must be seeing something I’m not.

Yep, looks like there’s been quite a bit of discussion on YouTube about it. If it’s fake, looks like they fooled some people. It was posted on TWS as well.

if you watch it slowly you can see that hs front foot never moves and the bottom of it becomes blured as the board rotates.
what i suggest has been done is that he has had the back foot unbound as he jumps, then kicks out the back foot and grabs the board.. so its like an indy with the back foot out (still cool) if you pause it while the board is rotating you can see where the old board has been blured out and the rotating board edited in.

oh and then hes front foot is magicaly bound in again as he lands

I think it’s fake, and I think it’s rad. My 2 cents wink

His feet were in the wrong position to kick flip a snowboard. It’s actually really bloody hard.

If he tried to kick flip like that, the board would have just fallen away from his feet.
