yes, they have been done a lot, but thought some folks might want to know.

Olenick:
Apparently the goal is to do it like a double flatspin, and I hear he has got it that way a few times, but most of them have basically been double backflip 180.
Hayward:
OK, so you know how when people do flare in the pipe it is a lot like a lincon loop, facing down towards the bottom of the pipe? Picture that twice.
Both are pretty damn impressive to watch, but I'm giving it up to Hayward for linking it after a cork 1260, whereas Pete does it first hit.
Of course that's assuming Hayward starts to land as consistently as Pete, which no doubt he will with a bit more practice, the kid is a freak.

watch the vid man, it does look a little like a doble flare, but then again a down the pipe flatsping and a flare are similar to begin with

Sure it can "want to be done." When I go down the pipe, I either do a normal straight air, or I will choose to do an alley oop air if I feel that I want to. So I don't know what your argument is here.
If it wasnt clear enough, what I'm saying is basically, enough of this alleyoop only on the unnatural wall. Let's see some on the natural wall, thus causing the skier in question to spin unnaturally.
