With the speed of progression in skiing the past few years, the chance that someone will throw a double flip onto a box or rail is high. Now whether or not you think its cool or "gay".... my question to you is

WHO?

and

WHEN?

the only person with balls enough to do it is Mike fucking Wilson.  Actually though.  it is the most out of control luck of the draw with huge consequences trick ever.  that is when mike wilson is at his best.  he is the king of the huck along with jamie pierre.

mike wilson yes. mcmurray could have maybe 4 years ago, i've heard absolutely nothing about him since then, so i kinda doubt he'd be down with a double flip onto a rail

holy shit. a lot of stuff in this thread that i am completely oblivious too apparently. if someone has done the 630-pretz 270 (forward, not switch, i know PK and hornbeck have btoh doen them dope as fuck, and dotn get me wrong, that is a sick trick, btu the forward 6 to blind 2 out is completely blind. liek sw 2-pretz 2 and forward 2 pretz 2. you cant see on forward 2) , or flat 450-pretz 2. i must have been livinig under a rock. i have not seen these. i know qutie a few people now ahve done falt/rodeo 450 - blind 270 out, but no pretzels...yet. i know wallisch is just waiting though. haha. as for the 630 on pretzel 2, i dont believe thats been done. i know people have got it to switch, but that whole 270 part can be a BITCH.

oh, and i know of some people scheming up the dub rodeo("kangaroo" i hate that name) to rail/box...im sure itll happen this or next year

I'm not really sure I can see that happening, I can't help but think anyone who'd wanna try it is an idiot, or has skills far beyond what I can imagine.  The jump onto the rail would have to be huge, meaning very high risk already, and smashing onto the rail pretty hard, you're not exactly flipping slowly coming out of a double either so the risk of slipping out onto your face is very high, or just plain over rotatating to your face on the rail.

I mean I guess I could maybee see it if the person did the tiniest little tap at the end of the rail like candides 810 on from years ago, but to try and legitimately slide a rail after a double doesn't seem like a good idea to me.  Maybee that's just cause I suck at rails but I've done kangaroos and can't imagine tryign to land on a rail

kangaroo outs man? I dont think so, you'd need a big fuckin launcher rail and you'd need to be going real fuckin fast. one flip out of a rail is hard enough, i dont know if you've tried it but you have to huck it pretty fuckin hard already.

I'm pretty sure that Rich Fahey threw 4 on pretzel 2 out, and 4 on pretzel 4 out at the Cascade Mountain New Years Rail Jam last year.

Anyone that was there feel free to correct me though.

ya that has been done many a time, but what you quoted was talking about FLAT 450 - pretzeel 270-....a flat or rodeo 450 is insanely harder then a regualr 450. no one ahs pretzeled out of a flat/rodeo 450 that i know of. and you woudl think that would be pretty public
