Pop 360 Gyro

Type of Trick: Kick / Spin

Prerequisites: Pop 360

Abbreviation: P360g

True Kick Terminology: hyper180hook gyro

Description: The Pop 360 Gyro is a trick in which the performer jumps off of both feet, from a ready position, turns 360° while delivering an outside spin kick to the target, and continuing to spin an additional 180° before landing on the ground

History: The Pop 360 Gyro was first seen on the tricking scene in the classic black-and-white Wushu sampler hosted on Bilang.com. Jon Valera adopted this trick into his forms and it was a very popular trick during the early years of tricking when Pop 720s were still very difficult. Since 720s and 1080s have become much more popular, this trick has really fallen into the category of "old-school" as far as tricking goes, but still remains popular in Wushu forms today.
