Sideswipe

Type of Trick: Invert / Kick

Prerequisites: 540, Raiz

Abbreviation: SS

Alias: Teradaswipe

Description: A Raiz Switch. An inverted 540. The Sideswipe occurs when an aggresive switch is used just before the spine aligns with the ground during the execution of a Raiz. This creates a swiping motion that denotes the characteristic of any "swipe" (a hypering inside spin kick done while inverted). This trick is landed in the same fashion as as a Flash Kick.

History: Invented by Steve Terada. This trick is not to be confused with Kim Do's trick in the 1998 US Open, in which he calls out "Sideswipe" and executes an Aerial Switch.
