so all cannon rails are pretty much skinny jumps.

sick anyway though. I think it's probably a small grind with mostly flip.

Let's all just progress in the most obvious direction possible Also some scandanavian kid did a dub front off a box so Gus looses. Skiing has only digressed in this thread

Nah, as NS has repeatedly bashed into my head, double fronts and backs 'don't count'.

that dub front was fucking gnarly but dub front =/= 'dub' especially not just a straight slide on a box vs actually sliding a rail (albeit probably a very quick slide)

I will consider your argument as soon as you learn how to spell aerials.

It's probably just gonna be a tap with a double. Not to stoked to see this, but pros got to progress too.

If you want to see it so bad,  start giving people lessons on how to do doubles off rails.

Back in the day, before Gus or double corks existed, they counted, and in my mind they always will.

Not surprised, wish they had a rail like at the rage bachelor setup so you actually have to grind the rail.

How do grabbed double flips equate to aerials? Its just the natural progression of the sport.

yeah he was also the first to dub a 25ft. jump at a rail jam... since when was spinning really fast off small jumps cool? i've always seen it as a complete joke and laugh my ass off and this isn't any different.

doing a trick faster is not a talent or skillful but props for having the balls to do it, that's all.

but gus has been doing solid doubles for years? granted it won't be the same as others he's thrown but the fact is that he's the first one to do it because he's the only one to get a perfect setup to do it. it's nothing special but still cool to see happen. he might as well go for biggest spin of a box while he's at it...

wow, how cud u possibly be that ignorant and downright stupid? i dont think u really understand how difficult it is to control a corked spin coming out of a rail, let alone a double. the trick is fucking sick and u cud never do what he does in a million years. so next time, instead hating, please give the guy a bit of respect.

fuck all the haters.

If he did a 90 to double backflip to 180 he would catch an edge and eat complete shit

He was trying dub misty off yesterday, that was before the rail was up on a riser though, not sure what he ended up getting in the end.

no, 90 off the rail would mean hes going either forward or backward. then he does two flips. then another 180 would land him either forward or backward
