i was at the pool yesterday jumping off the 3m spring boards. trying to work on some misty5 to backflips. i got those pretty quickly so i started doing more rotation and i eventually got what i think is a frontflip 180 to a backflip 180. then i pushed it another 180 and i dont even know what to call that. it was basically thrown as a misty 5 into a back 3 but a little off axis throughout. anyone know what any of these are called and if anyone is doing them on snow?

I know the guy travis stregger got a switch backflip 180 to a frontflip 180 off off a 30-40 foot cliff. Damn that kid has some potential.... RIP

front flip with a half twist to backflip with a full twist in diving terms, very simple there is not technical term

ya the 1:12 trick is like the front 180 to back 180. when i did the one with an extra 180 i threw misty real hard and tucked both hands at my left knee and it spins you a lot more, so it doesnt look as much like a double lincoln. that double where you started backwards was siick tho.

peter O is doing a similar variation but it looks more like misty 5 to sw flat 3 rather than backflip
