now i am nowhere near dub flip ability. but imo kangs or the switch double like cosco does in the jiberish chapter 2 edit. switch dub rodeo? i think would be the easiest... my 2 cents

i haven't tried yet, but for me the dub that i see myself trying first is a cork 7 to backflip... it's the first one i can visualize.... i can also kind of see a spun lincoln to late cork 5... but i 'm going to have to play with that one on water for a bit before i actually see what's going on.

I tried dubcorks and found it pretty hard to get the second cork, I also started with kangs, which are easier in my opinion. I am getting the kangs, but I still have problems with either over or underrotationg the second flip.
Cant say anything about switch doubles.
Just get out there on a waterramp and try the trick you can visualisize.
I wouldnt recomend doing so on snow though

well I can dub front and for me the next easiest double would be a dub front but I'll put a little spin on it so get eather a dub front or back first the just try that dub but with some spin

I think the easiest for me would be a cork variation on a rodeo 5. But thats only because I've got the rodeo 5's on lock.

They are really straight forward, not like a dub cork 12 where you have to figure out how much spin and how much flip you have to put into it.(BTW I can't do them on snow.)

what?

I know a lot of people learn switch dubs first because it's easier to set your rotation and spot the landing. Other than that I'd say kang

i tried dub cork 12 on snow for the first time last year with no previous attempts on anything and almost had them, just under rotated by a little but i had the right axis and all that.  and i just learned kangs on the diving board and they dont seem to hard. but personally i would get really comfortable with double backs and just being ok with going upside down twice.  so if it were me, i would get super comfortable doing double backs and flat 3s, and then just go for a dub flat 3.  that is my plan of action.

can you cork?? if so go for a double cork. just make sure when you come around your first cork keep throwing and stay tucked and you'll come around the second cork for your double. haha now the ACTUALITY of it is alot harder than i just explained. but water ramp sounds dope right aroud now. god i hate the midwest.

I think it depends on what your good at. If your good at flatspins do kang, corks do double cork, rodeo do dub rodeo

^^^^this! it really depends on what u like and what your comfortable doing, i learned double cork first just becuase im really comfortable corking, but for some one really comfortable flat spinning, they might wanna try kang first, its all just personal prefrence really.

I am waiting to hear a response from someone who throws doubles a lot.  My opinion though is in fact the double lincoln.  You can always see the landing and always tell where you are in relation to your landing in terms of distance.  And, they are easy to get momentum going in that direction and easy to come out of.

After double back I tried dspin 7 to backflip on waterramps.  Didn't go that well mostly cause the ramp I tried it on wasn't very big I just came up short.  I'd recomend kangs though they're super fun and relatively easy.  Lots of time in the air to spot the ground and such
