Biggest Flatspin in the Pipe?

Just curious but what's the biggest flatspin ever thrown in a Halfpipe, I think the largest I've seen is a Flat 5 to be honest.  Is anyone throwing Flat 7's or 9's in the Pipe, is that even possible?  I know Dorey is doing double flat 7's in the pipe but I mean is anyone doing single Flat 7's and 9's?

I've got a trick for someone who's got balls. Think straight air to fakie on the right side of the pipe. Got that? Good. Now add in a lincoln loop... no, the other way, dropping your right shoulder.


Lets see it "pro's".

Dropping your left should would be way scarier.

No, air to fakie like, but you drop your uphill shoulder for a sorta flair thing.

But which was bigger, the WSI hit or the channel gap..?

Without looking I wanna say the WSI was higher but the channel gapper was a lot more down the pipe.

Agreed, but that WSI hit was fucking HUGE.

I miss DC, sad he had to bow out like he did.

Wouldn't the 7 that Dumont always does to set up his switch hits be alleyoop flatspin? The ones hes been doing in recent contests kinda seem like it

No I gotta trick for someone to try. Take Dumonts alley-oop cork 7 thing, and then in the same trick throw a flat 3 and land switch, pretty much alley-oop double cork 10 but it would be so sick!

The WSI hit is around 3:50
