Paf said:Street workout guys call this move "one arm planche"
No the body is facing more sideways than down. One arm planche would be with the torso facing down. A lot of street workout athletes have more of a flag than a one arm planche. I saw a picture of a handbalancer doing a one arm planche on someone's head before, but I can't find it right now. Below is a video of a one arm planche.

I wonder if it's possible to hold a weight in the free hand and do a true single arm side lever? Probably too awkward to bother, but I bet there's some potential for some truly creative cirque execution there.
Actually, a perfect flag (one arm side lever) without any counterweight assistance is within human limits.
I want to see this planche or one arm flag or however it is called without benting arm in elbow.

I don't think anyone has achieved that yet.

It's probably impossible because it will put too much pressure on elbow, but also it would bee nice to see it.

In this video, the flyer presses through a [straddled] one arm flag twice:
It's also full of other bad-assery: they do a hand-to-hand maltese, and lower through a hand-to-hand inverted cross.

That is ridiculously brutal!
That start with a hand-to-hand muscle up to press to handstand then to inverted cross to a neck to neck.
And that jump from the shoulders straigth into a straddle planche =OOOO

Pretty sure I said this a month go about another video, but this is the probably the most impressive bodyweight strength display I've ever seen.
Edit:
Now I've seen this though and I dont even know what is real anymore
That was extreme. I'm gonna have nightmares!
That was sick!

I've watched this video like 5 times in the past hour or so, just amazing. The music, lighting and mood is perfect.
I just want to clarify the move at like 2:10 - would you call it a one arm press to handstand?
All of Raw Art's videos are awesome, I used to watch them before every workout for inspiration.
I think of that move as more of a one arm planche, too. By one arm side lever, I meant on a pole/grabbing some object with your arm to the side rather than on the ground. That is impossible, I'm pretty sure.
I'm training something similar to a 1 arm side lever - I'm hanging from a pull-up bar with one hand and trying to get my body parallel to the floor and torso facing the wall, does that have a name?

That is a one arm front lever variation. I call it the sideways OAFL.
The difficulty of doing a flag with such huge balls must be through the roof.

should I also PPT in the sideway version, right?

Yes, and also try not to arch at all with the obliques.
