not a turn down no, your leg needs to be infront of the bar not behind it. you have done a x-up whip?
I'd call it pretty sweet. 
Close to a turndown, but not in the classic sense.
X-up kickout!

Not far from a lookback, actually.
I'd call it a new trick... good job.
Its between an X-whip and a X down, this will be better than the X factor!!!!!
That's kind of a messy x up whip thing but sort of headed in the right direction.
Turndowns on mtbs are freakin weird. Even when done right they still look kind of goofy with most people.
Peanut (michael severt) has done the only ones I've ever seen that look legit. Zach has a clip of it and it's pretty sick.

Yea, definitely close to a turn down. Closer than I can do them for sure.
If i cannot fit my leg between the bar and the frame, is it true that i cannot turndown, or am i missing something.
I think so, I can do it on the trampoline bike, but it's got a really tall set of bars and a super low standover frame. From the picture it looks like you should be able to take your left foot off, and put it right between the seat and the top tube, that should allow you the room to completely turndown. (It'd be more like a 1 foot turndown though)
Please don't... turndowns are owned and belong to bmx. Do your own thing, but I beg you, keep turndowns away from 26'es. Pretty please. It's like a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin it on.
Oh hell yeah. I'm learning that **** tomorrow. That's awesome!!
Dope.
That mtb turndown isn't even close to being in the same zip code as an average bmx turndown... that's why I say they look goofy.

holy ish!
guy marsh has nice tdowns on 26's.
Wow those trails in the first pic are really awesome.
Ya like mentioned, that is some kind of X-up whip.
I can do a turndown on my Evil but I basically have to put my right hand half off the end of the bars and a few times my brake lever has stuck into my pocket or got caught on me somewhere...made for a nice crash one time
