Hey, does anyone have a video of Tanner's D-Spin 1080? I believe it's from Happy Days, and he is wearing all white outerwear.

Thanks in advance!
 
Dan this is too weird that you just posted this. Last night I was chilling in my room which is covered in wicked old ski magazines (mainly Freeze) and I was looking at the oakley mini poster of Tanner in all white with red scratches, completely upside down with a massively crossed up tail grab. If you look at the jump, the lip is really steep and like 4 feet wide and if I remember correctly the landing is really steep also, its like a booter jump. I was just thinking to myself, "Damn! That was one of the best forward tens ever, soo smooth, soo ahead of it's time" and then I was just like " Damn...Tanner has done some of the coolest shit ever."

Literally I thought all of those tings last night...which is strange cause I haven't thought about or looked at that 10 in a long time...making this a very strange coincidence. Grreat minds think alike.

But damn, Tanner is the man. He did so much shit for our sport, it's retarded.
 
I feel like he did it over a hip, but either way, Happy Dayz is such a good movie. Gonna have to go watch it now for sure.
 
Not a hip, just a steep ass "table" that sent you higher than far...if you know what I mean.
 
correct, correct, correct, and correct. and yeah its in happy dayz..which i wish i had on my comp but i only have the vhs.. maybe i can digitize it sometime
 
that is one of the best 10s ever. so ahead of its time and amazing. tanner defined what skiing should look like with that segment
 
Is it really a D10? I always thought it was a cork 10. But in any case, that is my favorite part in the movie and have watched it like 20 times. So flawless. other guys have them doing 3s or a 7 in their segment over the same jump and it looks huge, then Tanner throws an insanely gorgeous 10.
 
Shit! I have that somewhere, I ripped all my old ski movies when my Hit List DVD got too scratched to play... uhhhh, hangon a minute.
 
I was blown away by that shot and wondered why it never happened again. And yeah d spins are just inverted corks but skiers felt compelled to split hairs and call it a different name. kind of like flatspins and rodeos.
 
D is for douglas. the term dspin was used before cork in skiing and they're different anyhow. get learned.
 
I'm pretty sure it was only in Happy Dayz, duderino. I always wished they would have shown a bit more from the start of the trick/hitting the lip. I think Hall's switch 450 on 270 off is still one of the smoothest out there.
 
That is what he is saying, a D-Spin is a like a cork, but inverted, as with flatspins, they are like rodeos.
 
Yeah that was sick. T Hall pushed it so hard. I'd like to see Candide's D-spin 10 from the gravity games or the us open again too. T Hall's was sicker though.

When I saw Leigh Powis' forward blunt 12 in his edit on the PBP site it reminded me of T Hall's D-Spin 10. It wasn't quite inverted enough to be a D-spin maybe, but it was laid out like a D-Spin, which is really the core of the trick in my opinion. You can do a flippy cork 7 and set it back over your shoulder, but it won't look like a D-spin unless you lay it out.

 
There was an issue of Freeze where they showed you how to do a D-spin 1080 with that shot of Tanner. I would like to see the video again.
 
that's one of those shots that is carved in to your brain forever. so damn epic. with fuel injected pumping too. and it's not in Front Line, just Happy Dayz.
