i've seen it before of jon olsson doing a kangaroo flip 7 in the joi a few years back. if anyone can find it please post it. it is proof that kangaroo flip is NOT just a double flat 9 and can be thrown just as a double flat 7. after all the creator of the trick did it to 7.

tom wallisch said it /thread

But, seriously I've heard people say both. I think it just depends on the skier. If you watch jon here it looks like dub flat though.

i didnt mean it like "tom wallisch said it its true"
chris turpin also said "i almost landed a triple rodeo at whistler"
i am just using them as examples because they are pro skiers, so they would probably know better than us

He definitely went up side down. Rodeo and flat are pretty much the exact same thing.

How so? Show me a video of a flat spin and then one of a rodeo and then tell me where they are thrown different and how they look different.

I think the main points are:
Kangaroo Flip = Double Flat 9 (and only Dub Flat 9!)
Double Rodeo 9 ≠ Kang
Double Flat 7 ≠ Kang
Double Flat 10 ≠ Kang
Flatspin ≠ Rodeo

If Tom says so, it must be true!

Get over yourself kid, it doesn't really matter what it's called, both are doubles.

i was at whistler when he did that. he and everyone who was there said it was triple flat spin. a kangaroo is a double flat spin. can people do switch double rodeos? yes. can people do a switch kangaroo? didnt think so. its a double flat spin
