So I was at the massive site looking through the pictures section and I noticed a sequence shot of Tanner's new double. After a few minutes of looking at it I still can't figure out exactly what it is. Every time we see a double in the pipe it's a "double flatspin" which is more like a double back 180, but this one is different. I was wondering if anyone (possibly Tanner himself) could pick out which two flips it really is. Also, maybe give it a name (unless of course Tanner has already done so...and if so, maybe tell us). Heres the picture:

what exactly is a wisky flip? the ones tanner is doing looks like a backflip to lincoln 180 to me..?
 
he should name it like the crown royal flip because it owns peters whiskey flip, he stomps them so much harder and its not even his signature trick, like the whiskey flip is for peter.
 
except a minor difference in rotation this is a VENUS FLY TRAP

the trick is about 10 years old trennon paynter used to throw them on every QP its not new by any means. it just took new mainstream skiing 10 years to step up to it.
 
i didn't know trennon could do venus flytraps...

i only saw those from Toben Sutherland, who slayed with that trick like 10 years ago
 
It looks hella funny cause its in a quarter pipe. his new double looks sick in the 4th nz boom edit and its on the Jon Olsson Video blog with some funny footage of Dumont failing a double hard. but does anyone have a video of the venus fly trap? it sounds pretty dope.
 
i have always hated threads arguing over what trick is what. but this is definitely a backflip to underflip. its easy to see. but i still would rather see a whiskey flip any day. tanner has done a ton for our sport but peter just rocks the piss out of his trick and goes way bigger.
 
dude are you fucking kidding me? peter's double is a piece of shit, hardly ever does he actually land down the pipe and not sideways. i'm just guessing here, but it seems like tanner just learned them in NZ, and they're already looking better than the 'whiskey flip', and far more stomped.
 
actually your right.. its a flare to front flip..... and was called a venus fly trap or a tobone after its inventer toben southerland ( who also married the hottest chick ever to come out of the ski scene that gina chick thats in the SMS adds and a liftie of the month from back in the day)

he also invented the toblerone which back in the day was a mctwist 900...

and as usual smuggs is wrong.. trennon never did venus fly traps.. he did the 1st double back mutes.. think im wrong go watch 13.. " hey treenon who inspired yo to double back flips grabs.. my room mate... mikke" then it crosses to a segmant of the best pipe snowboarder in history mike mikealchick
 
Actually it looks more like backfull to half

Backflip 3 to backflip 180

Nobody seems to care he didn't get the grab :P Regardless sick trick haha
 
haha it's really not complicated. He does a backflip... then he does a flair

hence backflip to flair... double flair is easier and sounds better so I'm thinking it'll probably take on that name. It's pretty much exactly the same as the whiskey flip and the soulburger. They should all just be double flair
 
your an ass dont make dimwitted remarks about tanner when he has pushed the sport so far .. and as someone said your a disgrace to canada
 
I've seen the shots and it seems as though the flip is kinda different from when hes hitting a quaterpipe vs when hes in the pipe. In the pipe it looks like a way cleaner verison of the whiskey flip, but on the quater he looks like hes starting it off more like a backflip and less like a flare...if that makes any sense.
 
Its a whiskey flip (backflip to flair) done with a million times better style then Peter O.

A Venus fly trap is a (frontflip 180 to backflip)

It is however the best looking double done in a pipe yet!!!! Hands down
 
OK so... tanner is doing a "whiskey flip" in the pipe but that shot i am pretty sure is of a quarter pipe and its basically the same thing but since its a quarter pipe he spins an extra 60 degrees... back in 2001 or something some guy was throwing a trick similar on a quarter pipe, def not as steezy or consistant, in comps like the US Open
