What is Grosso doing dorking in that ditch towards the end of Future Primitive? Its a fastplant, and just to tail in Grover's case. Sweepers and fastplants are both named solely for the foot that is planted and the hand that grabs it; their names have nothing to do with "going in the air". They can be done in ditches, on curbs, on flat, or whatever.</p> I disagree. What is Grosso doing dorking in that ditch towards the end of Future Primitive?

I can do a footplant but I think a fastplant requires you to jump as you're still going up.</p> A fastplant totally has to be in the air.
