This still kinda confounds my brain (in a good way)

What the fuck, that gif needs to be slowed down some.

is it dolphin flip, nollie, fakie? idk which way dude skates, he rips though!

He's reg so that's fakie but my blind self can't tell if it's a forward flip or hardflip.

IMO it’s just a fakie varial flip - but he gave all his flip tricks some wired twist - which make them little more funky.

Majority of people do the varial flip fully with the front foot flick.
If you focus more on the back foot like a fakie pop shot and flick very slighly with the front food - movement becomes different - in this GIF he didnt move his body like typically with a fakie trick, more like standing switch and jumps much higher then he pop the board. So it looks  very different  - but is just a basic fakie varial flip.

This is what I like with Hyuen he gave all his tricks some different twist.
Sometimes little bit over the top / awkward but sometimes really funky - but different is good anyway.
Have seen him doing some crazy halfcabs in flat for example like going fakie but not moving with the half cab direction more going backward - but jumping forward doing a backside ollie flip.  Just small changes in the movement changing the basic trick completely.
it looks like a fakie forward flip
the varial flip at the end of that video doesn't have the same flick / board rotation

I really like that super switch mongo push switch heel he does over that ledge to sidewalk gap in the On Beat part. He's hauling buns like a bread truck but the sw heel flips so slowly and perfectly.

Everything about this is hilarious.

The music

The weird object

The awkward movement

The pronounced sit down at the end of a move to show you "landed it"

I heard he like broke some bones, does drugs and plays video games.

He was sick back then. Anyone knows what happened between him and 9club, Expedition, Primitive, Supreme etc.?
He was like the people‘s champ but seemed like a prick to all of them.

Came out of nowhere, dropped 2 amazing parts that amassed 1+ million views WITHOUT any sponsors & just disappeared off the face of this earth. He didn’t even try to do anything with the brand he made

Dude is incredibly talented but when your dad helped sequence I believe the amino acids for synthetic insulin ....getting a $1000 board cheque is not that compelling. Very talented dude....would not be surprised if he was low key brilliant at another completely different domain.

Too many people had IG trap edits ‘out’ in their ‘Ins/Outs’ lists for 2022. Drove Mr Plug to the brink of insanity. He now thinks it’s 1920 and got a job.

Daaaaamn.
Someone's gotta do it ASAP and release the footage before it drops. Clint Walker rug-from-undaya style.
Might know someone.

this isn't even true afaik, there's all these wild theories how his parents are rich as fuck or how his dad is a millionaire. the family evidently owns a korean(?) restaurant in bremen and everything else just seems to be speculation. i guess it would be possible since insulin analogues where invented in the 90s. people also said his dad is a banker or landlord or whatever. i think people just think his parents must be rich because he's rocking expensive shit and denies sponsor offerings. no one could prove all these wild theories yet. people that claim to know him say his parents aren't rich, just a normal family and he did other things to afford nice clothes(allegedly)...

@Jenkem you want to make a compelling youtube short? Either send one of your interns, or Ian himself to Germany to find Versace Plug. The Search For Versace Plug! Maybe even see if George Powell will throw some bones in on it.

He got a dog. A pug, to be exact. Its name is Versace Pug, of course. He tends to his beloved canine loyally.

I've heard that ever since the scandal with Balenciaga last year he completely stopped fucking with designer shit. Apparently he only wears imported Kirkland clothes now and skates freestyle

Lol when people are so quick to just call him phony or whatever cus he lost a game of skate at the berrics

as if the one true test of skill or value is you winning at some game hosted by Steve Scientology Berra

he is the quintessential insta trap-edit skater and unfortunately that label is associated with some really lame people, shame ppl just write him off because of that association. he is fking unreal in my opinion

Rich parents..

Even every other snapchatcloud kid at the park has latest expensive dunks.
Not that Hyun is one of those kids or was about that I dunno about his life but you just need to sell bags not that hard to buy dunks in youth lol.

In the end you might be the crakka with rich parents.

to be fair, not moving your stance for a flip trick isnt all that amazing - the same way you can probably kickflip from any position as long as your front foot is above the center of your board & your back foot is on the tail

still amazing line though

I don't think landing in KF foot position is really anything like a landing in nollie heel position but sure.
