Rocketboii

[EmpRitz]

What differentiates a rocketboii from the gymnastic pike?

EDIT: The rocketboii backflip, not the dleg variation

[GSimp]

Isnt the rocketboi sideways?

[saunders]

rocketboi is performed in a doubleleg motion, while pikes go straight over the head.
also in a rocketboi you grab, in a pike you dont

[Maddaveman]

A rocketboii is a pike backflip, except you grab only one ankle with the opposite hand. For example, you either grab your left ankle with your right hand or your right ankle with your left hand. Generally it makes it look better if you turn your chest to the side you're grabbing as well.

I find it easier to push on the ankle in the direction I'm turning my chest as opposed to grabbing it.

Sorry if that was dreadfully confusing, too many lefts and rights :dead:
