instead of a "proper" misty 5 it's more like a downhill frontflip. like pop up turn 90 tuck into a front and come out regular.

as for a proper front flip to switch, can't say I've actually ever seen one. it would be quite blind.

It was switch front. He was finishing his runs with a double back set up, into a switch front.

Andreas Berchtold from Australia has done frontflip to switch on a quarterpipe. A snowboarder does one in Afterlame too.
