Moby Dick is a tantrum with a backside 360 handle pass. It builds from tantrum pop and adds a backside handle-pass rotation after the invert is committed.

Square up and trip like a tantrum, then keep the handle close as the backside rotation starts. Pass late and tight so the line finishes the rotation instead of pulling the axis away.

Prerequisites: tantrum, backside 360 handle-pass mechanics, strong air awareness, and controlled one-handed handle position.
