Double Flips... The New Trend?

It seems like for the past few years, people have been putting down double flips of all sorts. I have read people saying "they are dead, no one does them any more" "they have no style" "double flips would never hold up in a competition." I do not terribly disagree with the last statement about not holding up in competitions, but everyone I have talked to picks Rory's switch double back for the gold. We see a new variation of a double flip, "The Kangaroo Flip," performed by Jon Olsson, winning a huge competition recognized throughout the industry. We see the amazing new Matchstick Productions Film, PUSH, displaying Mike Wilson's double back off of a cliff, and his insane triple back, and also Rory's infamous switch double back. It seems as though more and more people are doing double flip variations and brings me back to my title> Double Flips... The New Trend? I think so boys and girls.

not true, chris collins did a trip back off a cliff, wilson did a dub off a cliff and fell on a triple off of a jump in the bc.

yeah. wilson didn't stomp a triple. Collins did the triple off a cliff, and Wilson did that double at Squaw.

I don't like the look of double corks. I just think corks look more stylish. Double flips, on the other hand, are sick.

how many snowboarders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
27. 1 to do it, 2 to say they can do it better, and the rest to sit in the landing.


^ thats one of the funnier stupid jokes iv read in a long time

Double flips are sick! especially the one that Rory Bushfield did but hes my favorite anyways so i guess i'm basing it on a bias decision.

i think double flip variations will be the new switch 1080's.

Gotta keep it fresh, wait until the x-games money booter at the end of the course, i bet we will see double flatspins, kangaroo flips, and all sorts of new goodies.

hope so anyway.

well think about it. how many more variations of single flips/corks/flatspins are left to be done? I think this year double corks/flips/rodeos are gonna dominate. i bet the U.S. open big air this year will be won with a double something
