Morinaga Tomokazu has been doing the same trick for some years but grabs the peg instead of the wheel.

Well the peg grab is a terry adams trick,at least i saw him doing it at infinite pieces first time,then i learned it also.
Morich is going in opposite circles and grabbing the peg.Sick trick how he is doing it.
I can also grab it on the peg and g-turn for 10 or more years but this is also different as the bike is on the side.
different grab is totally different standing position,its not the same. Except if a stemlash is the same to whiplash.then yes its the same trick.
