Double Flips... The New Trend?

[salamander]

It seems like for the past few years, people have been putting down double flips of all sorts. I have read people saying "they are dead, no one does them any more" "they have no style" "double flips would never hold up in a competition." I do not terribly disagree with the last statement about not holding up in competitions, but everyone I have talked to picks Rory's switch double back for the gold. We see a new variation of a double flip, "The Kangaroo Flip," performed by Jon Olsson, winning a huge competition recognized throughout the industry. We see the amazing new Matchstick Productions Film, PUSH, displaying Mike Wilson's double back off of a cliff, and his insane triple back, and also Rory's infamous switch double back. It seems as though more and more people are doing double flip variations and brings me back to my title> Double Flips... The New Trend? I think so boys and girls.

 

[Pman13a]

i think so , i think they are sick

 

[steevner]

the double cork in tbc is awesome (can't remember who did it, sry)

 

[Sholte]

^it was mike wilson.

 

[futurespin]

wilson does a triple backflip in push?? is it on a table?

 

[SlickRick.]

double corks more so thatn flips

 

[PeteyG]

wilsons triple backflip was off a ridiculous cliff. i forget how high it was but it looked like it was 50 plus feet. I donno if it was in push i just saw it in skiing mag

 

[garrett.]

ok im osrry but a 50 foot cliff and a triple backflip just dont mix in my mind

 

[jKutcher]

up at the utah olympic park this summer everyone had some sort of double flip. there were double flats, corks, rodeos. kids could even do them on the tramps

 

[ry.will]

not true, chris collins did a trip back off a cliff, wilson did a dub off a cliff and fell on a triple off of a jump in the bc.

 

[Roy]

wilsons triple off that kicker reminded me of ski stunt simulator.

 

[R.Fahey]

yeah. wilson didn't stomp a triple. Collins did the triple off a cliff, and Wilson did that double at Squaw.

 

[bob_dole]

what about the twister spread? thats a double combo right?

 

[Mr.Capone]

Double corks are the shit....and Mike Wilson seems to be pushin all this stuff to the max

 

[nitsua]

dub corks look insane. i luv em

 

[james44]

double is sooo hot right now

 

[KZA]

omgz

 

[drewishish]

t hall dub flips in the pipe.... im calling it. just wait and see

 

[Lé.Skiing]

some guy does a triple in anomoly aswell, cant remember who, but i think it looked pretty sick

 

[*DrewT*]

Jacob Wester, double cork 12 at J.O.I. Anybody else see or hear about that?

 

[jamesmccormick]

yea it was sick

i really like travis rices doubles. he does double rodeo 9 and double cork 10 in his part in more

 

[Holte]

I don't like the look of double corks. I just think corks look more stylish. Double flips, on the other hand, are sick.

 

[almostaskier]

Yessir. And he has double cork 14s, the kangaroo, and the wilson.

 

[PeteP]

yea double corks are gonna be the new thing its pretty much the only way the sport can go now unless they keep jsut trying to spin more

 

[Black-Bandanna]

no. BC.

 

[wlm]

not mine eighter

 

[Black-Bandanna]

not a cliff.

a BC BOOTER

 

[deleted4]

anthony borowski was practicing some huge misty to cork double flip at the water ramps at hn so im sure we will see something relevant to that from him this season

 

[XXL_Steeze]

anyone have footage of a skier doing a dub cork? I've only seen snowboarders do it.

 

[Five40Guy]

jacob w. has the roo flip diale in too with style

 

[grams.]

who was throwing the double fronts at keystone? i remeber someone saying something in a thread about pros doing double fronts

 

[M+M]

how many snowboarders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

27. 1 to do it, 2 to say they can do it better, and the rest to sit in the landing.

^ thats one of the funnier stupid jokes iv read in a long time

 

[grams.]

word, just told my dad that one yesterday

 

[BLKOUT]

Simon Dumont, sick

 

[grams.]

thats gnar

 

[Ryno]

Stop trying to classify everything and breaking it down into trends.

Just ride and do whats fun to you.

 

[MadSteezin]

Double flips are sick! especially the one that Rory Bushfield did but hes my favorite anyways so i guess i'm basing it on a bias decision.

 

[theoz]

Got video of this tiple? or photos?

 

[BLKOUT]

gnar gnar

 

[tSki]

i think they are dope, im sick of seeing switch 10s win everything

 

[bobs]

really?? westers great but damn.....

 

[hollygrove]

It was like a hip jump thing. I htink.SO much lip. Also cehck of Chris Collins' off the cliff in Anomaly.

 

[Kev]

i think double flip variations will be the new switch 1080's.

Gotta keep it fresh, wait until the x-games money booter at the end of the course, i bet we will see double flatspins, kangaroo flips, and all sorts of new goodies.

hope so anyway.

 

[Ronix]

I think they looks sick

 

[STACKS]

double flips are where its going to be at for the next couple of years its coming in and if you can do one with style then get in thoughs comps

 

[grams.]

yeah chris collins was sick

 

[DaysToCome]

well think about it. how many more variations of single flips/corks/flatspins are left to be done? I think this year double corks/flips/rodeos are gonna dominate. i bet the U.S. open big air this year will be won with a double something

 

[Jamie_Baril]

thats great because its so true

 

[SteezeNINE]

Double flips are nasty

 

[ijibgoremtn]

yes they are id love to be able to do a single let alone a double

 

[andrewbressette]

lol, in my mind neither of those things are really kosher by themselves....
