This is my variation of the layback.I was Inspired by photos of Jay Smith doing his wayback layback in the sequence above,from Skateboarder Magazine sometime in 1979.
I called it the "wayback layback AIR"...I used to grab the board behind my foot to stop it flying out from under me,then one day after I had the trick wired,it happened....I started to get air.
I've never seen anyone do this trick even to this day.
