I’ve always assumed hurricanes are called hurricanes because you spin into them…
Like a… erm… tornado.
Oh.

The trick is a hurricane when he’s in but it is a confusing one because a hurricane suggest that there is turning involved, which there isn’t here. But the result is he’s landed into a hurricane shape.
The question is, does it qualify as a hurricane if there is no turning?
WTF is it
- Hurricane
- Fakie hurricane

Wade’s part in the 1996 Airwalk video is overlooked.

Should manuals on street strictly be called wheelies? Is it only really a manual if it’s on a ramp?
Probably because no one knew that video existed until it appeared about 2 years ago online.

No, because you 180 into a sugarcane haha
I mean there’s up for debate and then there’s just actually wrong
Probably an unpopular opinion here but I think hurricanes look shit most of the time.
I always think they seem pretty… cobbled together?
They don’t have the nonchalance of a feeble done well, or the the grace and/or power of a smith, and there isn’t enough contortion for it to be a head scratching back breaker.
Credit where it’s due, that Wade one was good.

I think they look good on rails. Tyler Bledsoe did a beautiful one in Mindfield. On transition I agree with you, with the odd exception, and FS only. BS hurricanes are always gross.
That Wade one was sick, had never seen that part before

Done right, they can be amazing. If you are gonna go out to lunch while stalling before turning in, then yep. But any trick looks shit that way.

55 posts and counting since you posted this.
I always thought you 180’d or at least turned over 90 degrees into a hurricane.
Can only enter a hurricane going forward right? or is that wrong?
I guess you could cab into a Hurricane.
Doesn’t Barney Page do those on mini ramp? Maybe Nordberg?

Giovanni Vianna on Primitive does Cabs into hurricanes on rails.
But thats a Cab hurricane. Everyone calls it that.
So, its not a fakie hurricane.
On that logic, maybe that does make this original clip we are talking about a fakie hurricane.
