My post was misleading, I know it works - I've experienced it.
I just can't find a practical use for it other than doing a bunch of roller coasters after a bearing run.
That is exactly the conversation that Jorge and I had. It is definitely sustaining, if not regenerating a little, but there is no practical usefulness to the whole thing, at least that I can think of so far. Before the OWB it would have made bearing competitions more interesting. Do a fast 5-7 trick bearing run, to some RCs, then throw a whip and back to the hand. From the videos I have watched in competition, I really think there should be a scoring component that awards trick runs that finish in the hand more than trick runs that finish on the floor. Further, I think the length of the run should factor in. I am sure this would be hard to judge in real time, but maybe there could be assistants whose sole purpose is to count tricks and length of runs. There are people who count punches landed vs. thrown in boxing matches. They give the numbers to the judges.
Sorry, that is off topic, but I just really love a good, clean run. Like Neff had with the Cuper when he won all the bow ties. I want a bow tie, by the way.
