Daniel Dodson actually did this back in 2009 with fixed axles from shuffle
Don't forget about Zack, he didn't do it as clean as Dodson but he did it way back in 2006, nearly 10 years ago!!!

Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful transition into the vortex, especially since you are using bearings which make the 'elevator' part of that trick much harder, the thing is that is isn't a new concept, just an awesome variation
