My name is Tyler Jay Hardig in 14 years old from UK and I'm making a trip out to aaas fee in Switzerland and I'm pretty sure I'm going to do double corks there but I'm not sure which double to do first ( not just double corks ). I'm sure I I do my first one I'll try loads , thanks ;-)

Dub backs were the first double invert i tried. They don't really count as a true dub but its a great way to get the feeling of going upside down twice and they take more balls than skill to be honest.

The rest is up to you, if you feel more comfortable doing rodeos then they are a good way to go, but if you are better are cork spins then maybe a dub ten is the way to go. It all depends on what you feel more comfortable with. Way to claim btw; and remember, pics or it didn't happen.

And he will definitely get good advice on here, seeing that we don't know anything about his skill level, or bag of tricks. This has been mentioned many times before, but if you have to ask, don't try, cus you'll probably land on your head.

i would think that a dub front would be easiest, especially on a nice big step up or anything low impact in case you dont make it all the way around the second time

it didn't look like a double flip because it wasn't, it did however look like one of the sickest double corks ever

I don't want to judge you by this thread because I don't know your skill level, experience etc.

But if you have to ask on Newschoolers, You're either

1)Claiming(which is dumb, no one really cares)

2)Shouldn't even be attempting it(If you're a good enough skier to do dubs, you definitely don't need our help figuring it out.)

This is my first year skiing, and if i get money i wanna try some dubs on the glaciers. Jumps are mainly balls and a little bit of practice on tramps. IMO.

For some reason it seems like switch dub rodeo 10 would be the "easiest", and the hardest to sketch out on because if you're going in switch you'd have to fully commit anyway.

i wouldnt try yet. while dub back arnt that hard you really dont want to be over rotating. learn corks/ flatspins or switch/ unnatural way stuff.

I've got to the point where doubles is the next thing to do, I can do switch 10s. Switch unnatural 7s. Cork 12s and unnatural 900s , just a heads up on the skill level

if you can do cork 12's, you should try a forwrd dub 10 or 12. that seems logical.

If I was going to do a double, I'm pretty sure double back would be pretty easy if I just sacked up. Do that.

well whats your best inverted trick? when it comes to doubles it doesnt really matter how big you can spin. with all of your singles, picture yourself dipping into a second flip instead of spinning out, and go for whatever feels like it would be easiest to dip into the dub.
