at 6:04, wilson is doing a double cork 7?????
"Understandably, this got boring after a while. In Vail, Colorado, at the US Open big air competition in 2006, 37 out of 40 runs in the qualifying round were switch 1080s. Something had to happen, and I’m going to blame and thank Mike Wilson for taking the first step towards a new age of big air competitions. After landing two Wilson flips, or better described as “underflip to switch rodeo 540“, he didn’t make it into finals because the judges didn’t know what to make of it, but he left a few questions hanging in the air. Was this the way forward? Can we make this cool? Is this aerials?
Watching Wilson doing his thing while all of us were stuck in a rut of just spinning like tops, Jon Olsson and I said to each other – this is what we have to do. I remember Jon ranting about how this was the future and we better get on it now before everyone else. The rest is history. Jon went off to Australia to invent the Kangaroo Flip on the water ramps, I worked on double backflips in Åre (on the jump Jon built to learn Kangaroo on snow, all props to him for pioneering, yes, he should get the credit for doing the first “new school doubles”), and at the Jon Olsson Invitational in 2006, on the first perfect big air jump to try double corks/flats on, we unleashed the new tricks to the rest of the world, Jon stomping Kangaroos and I figuring out double cork 1080s and 1260s. All of a sudden these tricks were accepted by the judges, and we had something new and fun to play with."
