Just came up on my youtube feed. Personally, I think it's really sick. What do you all think?

For the first half second of the airtime, I was thinking "There is no way this can go to a ten.." and then sure enough..

Should have kept it at dub 9.

PS I could watch this for days. Even the sound is amazing. That schhhlp sound at takeoff, the flickering camera shutter, and the frog like croaking of the snowmobiles. If you listen closely you can even hear his skis cutting through the air, I shit you not.

Margetts and Tudor were doing carved dub 9s years ago. Good to see something slightly different

It's awesome standing on a jump when someone does a big spin (10, etc), hearing the skis and poles whish through the air.

nope.
a dspin is an off-axis back full. So pretty much a very inverted cork 7. This trick is a cork 3 to cork 7.


Good D-Spin example: 0:29

Oh my god you totally changed my mind, you are so smart. Good thing no one is entitled to their own opinion right? Maybe your sponsors over at monster, amp, rockstar and redbull should designate you as the king of trick calling or something because obviously your the only one thats right here.

I liked how it wasn't a cork 7 to cork 3. He goes into the second one at some weird point like 630. Almost looked a little like Henrik's, with the weird shoulder drop.

bahahahaha butthurt much? If you're going to come out and try to call that a double D-spin and then hide behind "opinion" when you get called out you're just being puss. Anyway here's what a double D-spin 10 would look like:

Like Gus says in the description, he was working on cork 3 to cork 7 instead of the usual cork 7 to cork 3. It's fucking sick!!

lol if those look like the same trick to you then you shouldn't be trying to correct others on trick terminology.

You're allowed to stick to your misinformed opinion though, just don't expect to be taken seriously.

because Mike Douglas decided to call his inverted cork 7s D-spins. You'll have to ask him why it's not called a d-flip.

I think its more of a cork 450 to cork 630 but thats just me, if you watch it thinking cork 3 to cork 7 you can kind of see it. pretty cool
