In bobbys new one the last rotation almost looks like a straight up sideflip.

Watch them again. After Bobby's first cork he stops spinning and just flips. Look at the nose of his ski and see how it stays along the same vertical axis. Now look at Russ's, notice how the nose of his ski continues to move across a horizontal axis rather than stay along a vertical one like Bobby's. Russ is still spinning, while Bobby is only flipping.

i understand what youre saying but are you talking about the one he landed or his attempt in the way i see it? i feel you on what youre saying but i think bobby's was plenty corked (as opposed to flippy)

I was only referring to his attempt in the way I see it.

And I admit we are kind of splitting hairs here, mcmorris' is my best example of a real triple cork.
