My buddy Luke recently told me he has been working on a new flip called a frack flip. It is essentially a front flip 180 into a backflip. I've seen him do this into water before, but not on skis. Has anyone landed one of these on skis?? Or has anyone heard of this being done at all?

Ski movie 2: High society. During the credits or the friends segment. There is one that is perfect laid out and not misty like at all. That could be a switch back 180 to front though

Idk if it has a different name in skiing but I imagine he's doing a tsukahara rather than a dub misty nine or any of that other stuff

lol okay well misties and bios are virtually identical so that's sort of a silly distinction to make

anyway, doesnt matter cause trick names like that arent really used. OP's trick is basically dub misty 9, next question

Fun thread to read! A friend linked me here and said "put out your clip". I did a variation of a double misty a few years back and the clip is in the trailer here at 1.45 -
 

I think I was the first one with this trick and "named" it snowflip.... since every other guy who learned dubs a this time trained in some waterfacility two months before going on snow and myself needed to work during the summer instead of hanging out at waterparks... well, i had to do it in my head and then throw it at the next jump... sooo if this is what your looking for its essentially a snowflip or as i would call it now. A variation of a dub misty.

Cheers.

It's exactly the same as this, I am learning misty to backflip at the moment on trap and this is how mine look into the foam pit.
