That Gut Lever was nearly vertical! Loved the Framestand Barspin!

thats a 'top gun'. slight difference with the trick as gut lever you invert the hands on the grips and steady your body weight like that while the top gun you have your hands regular so much harder to control your balance.

correct! with the gut lever you are actually leaning on your elbows, with a top gun it is just arm strength.
