Looks kinda like a wipeout
I know I've been well critical of airstyle, but this is still a legitimate question. It's been said on here many times and sometimes by you that after a while handle pass tricks all start to look the same. Are you worried at all that the same is true for airstyle? Some of the names you give tricks sound somewhat repetititive with only the order of the same components switched up.

For sure there are many tricks looking similar.
Therefore in airstyle comps a big variety is wanted, such as boardoffs, one foots, grabs, transitions, slides, kiteloops etc.
Just as my trailer" what is airstyle" shows.
Compared to that freestyle has no variety, as the name would guess. And in my opinion the name is wrong and freestyle should be all about above mentioned plus handle passes and wakestyle tricks.
And if wipeout or not you can see on the DVD...
