Sydney Flash

Description

The Sydney Flash is a three crack pattern consisting of an Overhand Flick, the second crack of a Fast Figure Eight, and a Cattleman's Crack. It is most commonly done with the flick aimed forwards, but it can be done backwards, cross-body, and in most other orientations as well. Because the overhand flick/fast figure eight combination is what makes this trick unique, that two crack section is sometimes just called the Sydney Flash as well.
