^ Haha nah not really! They already have these kinds of restrictions in other sports. Summer dew tour for example - some stops for FMX they are only allowed one or two flips per run. Maybe they could do it like that, have one ot 2 stops of the dew tour with those kinds of restrictions. I'm all for dub corks, don't mistake me for a second, I just like seeing some variety as well.

This brings out another point.

Will it just be Dub corks, or will all dub flips be banned?

its a thought.. but honestly this isn't olympic mogul skiing or something.  its kinda an overused word but they call it 'freestyle' for a reason.  Do whatever you want and make it look as good as possible.

you're missing an ideal pee-in-her-butt opportunity.  And while I want to see more diversity in ski/board tricks, banning any one flip rubs me the wrong way.  Kind of contrary to the freestyle movement
