haha that is pretty sick! Nice job, eddie!
Wish you could see his other hand grabbing though!....not even the shadow is conclusive…Not at all doubting that he did it just pointing out! Any other angles?

Yeah, I personally witnessed Eddie getting several clean Flying Squirrel grabs off that very booter. Both hands grabbing and arched back. I was very impressed to say the least.

This contest will end at 11:59pm on September 30th (AEST).

sweet! As I said, I was in no way at all doubting that he did it, or questioning it at all, just thought the winning pic should probably show one in all its glory!

I do agree with you. However I think the last two shots adequately show both hands grabbing - just! You can see the wrist part of his glove just above the heel edge. Mizu, I’m sure on of you guys have GoPro footage of this?

Next season we will have the rules clearly stated. So stoked to make this an annual contest with a much bigger prize pack next season! cool grin

maybe it should be some different weird move every season…looks like a few people have nailed this one!

I’d like to see the Flying Squirrel back. With bigger prizes and bonus points for degree of difficulty, I think we can really step things up next year. The Method grab has been well and truly mastered, however they have a Method contest at the X Games. I would like to see something like that happen for the Flying Squirrel.

What do you think?
