no i dont mean the ssx tricky way of doing a frontflip then a backflip but on the diving board i can do a frontflip then spin 180 and continue with a backflip has this ever been tried before?

you sure that was him? Are you thinking of the clip where he hit that one at night while he had the flu?


this one was during the day and I think I saw a kang in there. It was like 5 years prior to that also.

Im pretty sure at the end of ski movie 2 during the credits, it is stomped at the open. Kinda weird that was 5 or 6 years ago and it didn't even win.

no, a venus fly trap is a flair to front flip as Tobey used to do them.

a front flip 180 to backflip was named wild turkey by mckonley, doubt he ever did it tho

surely you would need the most enormous kicker for it as you would have to stop all your momentum and then build it in reverse.

love to see it tho
