Replying to Whiskey Flip
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).
