Has cork lost it's meaning?

At least in snowboarding dub cork and dub rodeo are completely different things and it has nothing to do with going completely upside down. Both are off axis rotation when done proper, one toward the lip, one toward the landing.
 
"...and now Tom Wallisch is coming into the third jump - we call this one 'The Deposit' because we name this shit - and OHHHHHH what a sick flippy spin! He stomped the shit out of that flippy spin, such smooth flips and spins! Coming in switch now to the 'Money Booter' and OHHHHHHHH ANOTHER FLIPPY SPIN! The judges are definitely going to reward the technicality of those flippers."

...read in Mike Douglas's voice.
 
Yea all these switch dub cork 10 japans are really often "just" switch dub rodeos.

for true switch double corks, see john ware.
 
Elias' was a much better triple cork, if anything bobby's was cork 7 to dub flat 7. Elias and Russ have the two best/smoothest triples, even though Elias hasn't thrown his since JOI 2011.
 
Yeah especially with toresteins triple in the xgames is was one cork 1 with 1 back flips there have been better corks but yeah they are losing there meaning
 
what about alex schlopy's attempt at a triple cork 1980 at last year's JOI? i thought that was a pretty true cork? p.s. sorry if i spelled his name wrong
 
mike d does not call everything a d-spin....he calls one particular trick that bbrown does a sw dub dspin 12....because it is. it's different than his sw dub misty and his sw dub cork and his sw dub rodeo. when he dumps the rotation straight over the top like that, it is text book d-spin.
