Spin cycle.
Mr. Sloan adds a heelflip to Mike McGill's Wicked Twister. Elliot has been on Birdhouse for a very long time now. He has a new shoe out in collaboration with Fallen and Birdhouse.
I appreciate the consistency of Birdhouse ads. They've had a few variations, but generally stick with a photo sequence on a solid colored background over the years. It's maybe not the most exciting design, yet it serves its purpose well.
The sequence is by Brian Fick.

That's a fakie 540 with a heelflip thrown in. A McTwist starts out forward, you must go upside down while rotating 540 degrees. Just because someone spins 540 degrees does not mean it is a McTwist. You don't have to take my word for it, you can watch McGill talk about it in one of the latest Thrasher videos.

The ad clearly identifies the trick as a heel flip 720. This trick was first done by Tony Hawk and not Mike McGill who invented the McTwist
I didn't even see that in the corner. I zoomed in on the frames to see if he actually went upside down that I didn't notice he spun 720. So it would actually be a heelflip McHawk. But, no on really called it a McHawk, they just needed to name it something.
