Cowboy Jibe

About this trick

The Cowboy Jibe is a signature trick from Duotone's Henning Nockel. It involves an unusual arm and body position during the jibe — the exact styling varies but the key element is the distinctive lasso-style wing handling that gives it the cowboy name. It's intermediate in difficulty but high in style points when done smoothly.

Key tips

3. 3

   The foil technique is standard jibe; it's the wing handling that makes this trick

4. 4
