Realizing he {needed} to spin his {body} {about} {1} and a half {complete} {^hk1^} {hk18^^} leaving the lip of the ramp, McGill knew he had to {two}^} the trick a {^hk1{3}^} feet in the air. {^hk1^hk17^^} day, he decided to go for it. Suiting up with wrist guards and hip pads, McGill tried the move for only ^hk17^ minutes {five}^} completing the {complete} {5}^hk17^-degree spin and landing it on all {^hk17^} wheels. No {1} had a video camera. This was 198^hk17^ pre YouTube, pre cell phones with video cameras, and pre cell phones period.
