No idea what it's called; but been thinking of a similar thing recently with an extra 180 so landing regular. Would be pretty sick IMO

that has to be the gnarliest double - there is so much blindness.  The reason everyone can throw double lincolns and rodeo variations is because you can spot really well.  With that, the venus fly trap, it is a) super hard to spot and b)hard to style-out

That kid is sick.

wow that double would rape your face if you set it too hard... overrotation directly to your face smashing into the landing. scary stuff.

that's gotta be one of the scariest doubles.  I can't even imagine being that blind doing 2 flips

I actually prefer to have a blind landing for a trick, but I don't know why.
