Is this possible on skis?

hahahaha! I was trying to video and watch at the same time, and I got

pretty excited about that one. I felt like a caveman encountering a

Flatscreen TV.

I'm still trying to calculate it out in my head. That was Mitch Gilman

at DBA. I thought it was a dub rodeo 14, but looking at it on vid

again, I think it was actually a 1620 He basically throws a 5 so hard

out of his second rodeo that it almost looks like a misty 5. So 540

times 3, and close to a triple cork. You know the trick is baller when

people watching it have to bust out their calculators to figure it out.

Scratch what I said, I think he actually came off switch. Basically I still have no idea what that was. + K to anyone who can figure it out,
 
if this would be done on skis i think it would have been somthing like a lincolnloop - flat 900 kind of rotation.Because the first flip he does is a backflip and then he grabs and get a shitloads of spin that way. just like people grabbing mute gets the spin in flat 9-10-12 rotations.
Haldor is sick, and the trick is called "LOBSTER"flip named after his own snowboard brand he started with his brother before the X-Games!
 
He definitely comes off forward into the flat 5, then throws it over into a rodeo 7...so pretty much the exact same thing Heldor was thrown, double rodeo 12...even the same grab (japan) haha.
 
i miss kangs in general. they seem to have gotten forgotten among the other dubs, and they are one of my favorites.
 
i agree, it's like people overcompensate for how many we saw when they blew up by not doing enough recently. still such a sick trick, and as i said needs to be taken to 10 and 12
 
missed that...it's a double rodeo 14 (at least until he disappears under the knuckle), flat 5 to rodeo 9 (could be a 16, but he's forward dropping under the knuckle)
 
That's what i was thinking and I never saw another vid of this other than mine because it was during the practice rounds. The reason I almost crapped myself when I saw this is that he throws that last spin so hard that it looks like a misty. It doesn't show as much in the video, but it definitely looked corked live.
 
holy shit. both this and the ski vid posted in the comments blew my mind. and can someone explain to me what a kangaroo flip is?
