The orbit is different. In the orbit, you hold the safe handle, throw the bite handle around your thumb and catch the safe handle. With this, you throw one handle around and catch THAT handle. In other words, this is less like an orbit and more like a REVERSE Y2K.

Orbit video for reference:

Yeah, guys. Pig's got ya here. He is right about it not being an orbit and more of just being a backwards y2k.
