Biggest Flatspin in the Pipe?

[miemiec]

Just curious but what's the biggest flatspin ever thrown in a Halfpipe, I think the largest I've seen is a Flat 5 to be honest. Is anyone throwing Flat 7's or 9's in the Pipe, is that even possible? I know Dorey is doing double flat 7's in the pipe but I mean is anyone doing single Flat 7's and 9's?

one of my friends has done an alley oop flat 10. not even joking

 

[danbrown]

i dont know about the biggest but david crichton's flat 5 crit is the best one ever and nothing will ever top it.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Beat me to it. Thats the biggest alleyoop anything I've ever seen, to date.

pete olenick. i'm not sure how high dave's was, but pete's was fucking huge

 

[JuliusJ]

been wondering this too. never seen over a flat 5 but flat 9s would be so sick

 

[garettnorthey]

I think Sean Field used to do Flat 9's in the pipe.

Olenick did a flat 7 at x games this year

I've got a trick for someone who's got balls. Think straight air to fakie on the right side of the pipe. Got that? Good. Now add in a lincoln loop... no, the other way, dropping your right shoulder.

Lets see it "pro's".

 

[Mr_pretzel]

Dropping your left should would be way scarier.

 

[belden...]

are you talking switch flat (right shoulder dropped) on left wall? Cuz yes ballsy

 

[Capurnicus]

Clicked on this thread to post that!

 

[TechnoPotamus]

agreed 100%

 

[LOLO_FAVRE]

crighton and pete got really large ao flat 5 and at that time i remember crighton was doing down the pipe flat 9

[LeoSpaceman]

crichton will always reign supreme.

 

[winelips]

i personally prefer peter, if you dont remember he won the high air comp at the XGAMES

 

[MackJones]

best for sure!

 

[loganimlach]

haha, i did too.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

No, air to fakie like, but you drop your uphill shoulder for a sorta flair thing.

But which was bigger, the WSI hit or the channel gap..?

Without looking I wanna say the WSI was higher but the channel gapper was a lot more down the pipe.

 

[nellyyy]

Pete won X Games halfpipe big air or whatever with a flat 5 last year

 

[danbrown]

tough call. i like the channel gap shot better though.

snapped this little gem out of a Freeze from 03, thought itd be nice to bring back some memories

Agreed, but that WSI hit was fucking HUGE.

I miss DC, sad he had to bow out like he did.

 

[-Marc-]

Wouldn't the 7 that Dumont always does to set up his switch hits be alleyoop flatspin? The ones hes been doing in recent contests kinda seem like it

 

[Broseph_Stalin]

vid?

 

[garettnorthey]

No I gotta trick for someone to try. Take Dumonts alley-oop cork 7 thing, and then in the same trick throw a flat 3 and land switch, pretty much alley-oop double cork 10 but it would be so sick!

 

[Melvs]

The big channel gap is around 3:30

The WSI hit is around 3:50
