DUb are just the progression of the sport! I'm stoked on them and they are just getting sicker and sicker with some MAD style! They are like every other trick now, just a bit more tech... As long as they are steezy who care! It's sick! I like to watch them!

not really, as long as they look clean, and as long as the entire run isn't based off of them, like in slope, if every trick was a dub it would be super boring, but if the entire run was clean with some left spins and right spins and then the last jump was a huge styley dub, that's sick.

Dubs are so sick, takes big balls to pull that kind of maneuver. Here's the video:

It's not as bad as you think. I had a ski fly off while I was inverted, landed on one ski, knee buckled a bit but skied away.

Dude, that is like saying you would rather see a 540 than a 1080. It simply does not make sense

anyone can shove something up there ass if they really wanted to, but only faggots actually do it.

haha, nah, im not against doubles, but if i could water ramp for a day i wouldnt waste my time with it, Id learn a D-Spin 1080 tailgrab, or a cab 5 shiftied double mute.

In terms of comps i think they're pretty sick i mean if everyone is gonna throw a ten then they might as while go corked or upside down twice. Plus margaretts double looks damn floaty. but kangaroos are pretty played but now it has turned to dub cork 10s. So to answer the questions i'm only sick of kangaroos
