iv done them and i think they are one of the most fucked up feeling trick you can do, not that hard but your blind on your landing like 75% of the flip

exactly dude.

here are a few examples:
walnuts does one, looks sick
also in magic moves here

the one in magic moves is nasty too, like a little off axis from the grab. they just look scary as hell

haha they are by no means a new trick. Shane was pulling those before most people even knew what a twin tip ski was.
