What's this move called...?

I was messing around in the Mentor in flatwater the other day, and did something I've never done before, and wondered if it has a name:

Start completely still, or still on your stern station, no or little current and NO forward momentum. Just kind of sitting there on your stern station (bow works too). Taking no paddle strokes or hand strokes, cartwheel...and continue cartwheeling with no additional strokes. Extra points for stopping with no strokes, too;) (still working on that one...not 100% at stopping stroke free yet...usually it's a balance brace or stroke to change the boats momentum to forward rather than rotating)

It was pretty cool to execute. I've done "irish whips" before (no-paddle C1 cartwheels), but those are initiated with a stroke or two, forward momentum, and or current.

Now to find someplace with some DT potential...:)
