I remember that PK Hunder did one in the X games last winter, but got robbed. Even though everybody has been learning dub corks, I haven't heard of anybody else throwing them? has anybody?

have you seen any of the competitions in the past year?

pretty much every skier did one in in every competition (especially all the pre-season big airs in europe)

they're getting extremely repetitive if you ask me

Maybe these weren't switch, but I thought I saw a dub 12 in refresh and possibly a dumont edit??  it may have been his buddy

Cause pk is still a level higher then everyone his dub 12s from last year were way sicker then the winning ones this year in the pre season.

hopefully they'll be gone for good soon.
EVERY double cork looks the same.

i guess i should add that i also like forward dub cork 10s. but personally i think dub 12s are just okay looking. switch dub 12s are amazing though
