I need help proving my friend wrong.

So my friend thinks that in a cork the flip doesn’t add to the rotation. Which to my understanding is false. If you do a double cork 10 then you do a cork 7 plus a flip and the flip gives you the 360 to make a 1080 and a flip. Am I right? I need help fast!

let me know if this doesn’t make sense.

ig so dub 10 isn't a flip though so it's just considered off-axis, if you did count it as a flip it would be like a backflip 360 to backflip kinda, but yea it's cork 7 to cork 3ish so you would be right.
 
you're correct because the second flip in a dub 10 is off axis, so it counts as a 3. Your friend is viewing things from a gymnast's perspective, where they don't count a flip as a rotation (ex. with a back full, the flip is not considered to be a rotation). if that makes sense.
 
Aren’t those impossible. While I’m at it if you do a rodeo 5 and added a 3 to it would it be a rodeo 5 or 9. My friend dad said I did a rodeo one but I tried to a explain since it’s off axis the “flip” count as the three if that makes sense.

that’s the joke, because if the flip didn’t count as rotation it would be a misty 180 when really it’s a misty 5

If you're 10 - 30 and your main circle isn't discussing: how a flip adds to the spin. Then it's time to find a new circle. your network is your net worth.
 
Well it started by me wanting to know who understood what a cork was and then I would ask a question: is a dub cork 3 or 5 possible. And then we got into an argument about why a cork is.

Can confirm as a former gymnast this is exactly why I was confused asf when I first heard it called a dub (7/10/etc)
 
For corks there really is no flip, so no flip would be counted to the spin.

For rodeos, misties, flats the flips count toward the spin.

After watching comp jocks do dub 10s I can say that there is definitely a flip somewhere

Done right, it's a cork, not a flip. This + grabbing is how park skiing still isn't quite aerials.
