Think they will become popular/done at all? Cannon boxes are in basically every big competition now a days, and it seems like the doubles could come to them next

 it's not like a super hard trick.  just put a little extra into your 270 and they come right out.  6s off are only a another 180 degrees of spin.  my boy john dorris can 6 off his back yard set up...  it has got to be easier on a cannon than on this

that would be so sick. But the air you need and just everything else necessary for a double cork then to stick a down box to land on would be sketchy as hell

I cant see dub fronts being super difficult off of a decent sized cannon box.

i was just gona say dub backs. some of he cannons ive seen in king of style edits are def big enough for a laid out dub back imo. youd jus have to go to the bottom of the landing i guess

id say dub backs maybe if the cannon was pretty steep.

dub fronts would be easier imo because I find they spin pretty fast if you lift a foot and spring off your tips, stay tucked. cannon boxes tend to be not too steep so your trajectory would be pretty scary for backflips.

but maybe im just a pussy.

Didn't Mike Wilson do a double off a rail or box of some sort in either Yearbook or Hit List by MSP?

i would say backside 630s are a medium where frontsides are higher in difficulty because i can do backs but not fronts **CLAIM**

gnarshmellow has done more to progress the sport than the air bag, water ramp, foam pit, and twin tip combined! If it was done on gnarshmellow its only a matter of time

that is insane...
it's funny, i was just talking about the possibility of doubles off boxes today.

i can see it happening on skis for sure. progression seems to come a lot faster than anyone thinks it will.

How did you all just disregard Vanular's post?? If somebody's going to do it, it very well may be him.

yea i'm pretty stoked to see who throws the first dub rodeo 810 to rail. how about a cork 7 blunt to 50-50 on a box? that'd look hilarious. or maybe a cork 450 to rail, that'd also be crazy

i'd think a hucked dub back or something simple off a cannon box like in Pretty Good would work
