helicopter spin

Whirling aerial maneuver

A helicopter spin is a breakdancing move where the dancer lies flat and rotates the entire body horizontally, legs extended, sweeping in a circular motion close to the ground.

The move resembles helicopter rotor blades.

In wrestling, a helicopter spin is a throw where one wrestler hoists an opponent overhead and spins before slamming them down.
