Corked front-flip. Still very impressive though!

It is a 360°, I had to look a bit extra to see it. Start at 0:20, he does a 360° and finish it when he is up side down, the last half of the flip he whips it over to 450° and then back.
Don't know about best trick on X Games, by then you'll probably have to add something to it because the development of this sport has gone so fast at the end so that the video games have got behind.

Definitely not a 360 front flip. I think ESPN titled the video that way so people could relate to it. If they titled it the "World's First Carry On" no one would have a clue what they were talking about...

i think this one is easier than TP's toilet paper roll, because the 360 rotation and front flip rotation are doing at the same time, while the paper roll is first backflip and then 360. but hell yes, this one is still rad to the gnar.

That looks unreal, very cool. Don't think there's actually a 360 to it though, more like a fronty-whip... the bike goes sideways, barrel rolls and then comes back spinning the opposite direction as the initial movement.. whip, not 3.

Agree with m3hl. Not really a 360, more of an off axis fronty. Regardless, it's flat out ridiculous to be able to stop the forces sending you backward enough on a heavy moto to throw it over the front. That's just amazing!

That was nuts! Likely to be best trick at X Games for sure.
