^I believe the proper term is, "Helix of Death."

[fraroc]

I don't know if you know this or not, but RCDB now considers the batwing inversion to be a "pretzel knot" like on Moonsault Scramble.

[DavidW]

They've always considered it that, but KI and B&M refer to it as a batwing, so that's what i'm going to call it

[mike541x]

Just like Arrow referring the cobra roll as a batwing.

 

Can't wait for this ride to be done, it's gonna look amazing.

[GigaG]

I call it a pretzel knot. That's what it is. It crosses over, therefore it is a pretzel knot.

[tarheel1231]

I wouldn't be suprised if the loop was done by monday.

[Guy T. Koepp]

I call it a twisty, loopy, thingy. That's what it is. It twisty, loopy thingys itself. It's a twisy loopy thingy.

[tarheel1231]

I call it a twisty, loopy, thingy. That's what it is. It twisty, loopy thingys itself. It's a twisy loopy thingy.

Just to make things simple, lets call it an inversion.

[coasterbill]

No thanks... "twisty, loopy, thingy" sounds like a lot more fun than "inversion". Inversion sounds like a douchy overpriced fusion restaurant or a terrible night club.

LOL

 

Let's call it an" Auntie Anne's Jumbo Pretzel". All this talk of pretzels is making me hungry.

[prozach626]

Who gives a crap what it's called? Some people call it a cheeseburger. Others call it a hamburger with cheese.

[Guy T. Koepp]

Or a triple king burger with chili, cheese, bacon, and egg.
