1. I wish people would stop calling it a double flat spin. It's a nasty double flair that takes skiing back the the Schraab days. I'm glad it's being done--don't get me wrong. I like the direction Olenick is going. But it's not a double flatspin.

2. Mike Douglas on ESPN was wrong that Olenick is the only skier or snowboarder doing a "double flatspin." Mike Michalchuk started with a double back 180s in the pipe, and then turned them into double flatspins (double "Michalchuk's"). he did them off hips too (imagine someone on skis doing TWO true flatspins off a hip).
 
Mike Michalchuk was soo sick he even did double rodeo 9s a few times, double flat spin would be preety dope over a hip jump dam ..
 
im with you man, its no double flatspin, just like how mike was calling the kangaroo filp a double rodeo and then jon did a single flat 3 and he called it a lincoln loop
 
i disagree. names for double flips/spins are inconclusive. A double flat 7 and a double flat 9, for example, are both called kangaroo flips. Why?! And a double flat 9 in the pipe is a whiskey flip? If it's a double flat 9, call it a double flat 9. (But yes, i do agree that Pete's trick was not a flatspin.) And heaven forbid we bring back the dinner roll.
 
i think theres way to many names for tricks why cant we just call them flips? or off axis stuff corked ? or anything else a spin
 


some one should come up with a official trix book with the exact definitions and names for every possible trick than we wouldnt have arguments like this
