Replying to Learning how to double frontflip?

I've been thinking about this one for a while. I'm stoked on taking my skiing to another level and I have decided it's time to learn doubles. I look at the double front as a way to progress and eventually be able to do double corks. I'm just afraid of the commitment, I think. If anyone here on the forum knows how to throw one, it would be great if you shared your experiences. What was it like the first time you tried it in the park? I reckon everyone who stomps this trick tried it in BC first? How do you know when to open up to slow the rotation and land? Well, I'm pretty much wondering about everything that has to do with this trick. Thanks so much for any help.
