Dub 10 insight

I know what you're thinking. I'm some kid who thinks he's way better than he is, but just hear me out.

I'm going to Summit for Spring Breck, and am seriously considering going for a dub 10 as my first double. I can cork 7 and 9 with my eyes closed off the biggest jump in my area, and the jumps where I'm from aren't made with such precision as Breck or Keys so I know it'll be even easier when I'm out there. It's like learning kfeds on a summer setup, and then finding it's easier on snow. That's what it felt like last time I was out there doing everything I learned in Michigan anyway.

So for the dub 10, instead of opening up and dropping out at 7, would I just stay tucked and dip again? Or is there really a lot more to it? Watching some of my videos I sometimes come out of my cork at the peak of my airtime and it looks like if I went for it, it woulda came around. It just seems like a matter of sending it, and not letting fear prevent you from executing properly.

I've never tried them on a tramp but I'll hit up the the local gym and get them dialed before I go. In my head it doesn't seem too difficult, or even that scary. It seems like you could spot it pretty quick.

So what's the technique, and are they really THAT difficult? +K for any tips. Plz don't hate

If I get some good help and actually decide to send one, I'll be sure to film my success, or epic crash. Thanks guys.

I can't even cork on skis but I've come really close to a dub 10 on a trampoline and what I would say is go to throw the cork then at 630 ( sideways) hick down into the second flip

Good luck

The rotation I like to do is like cork 630, to rodeo 450 (exactly like the end of a switch rodeo 5) The real trick to dub 10 is really making sure you lift your feet into the rotation on the lip. A lot of people dont lift their feet, then their second rotation is too too spinny and doesn't come to their feet.

best way to do it, first do your regular cork 7, then before landing do the next flip and bring it to dub ten, when you see the landing land on your feet :)

its a way easier trick than most people make it seem to be in my opinion. They come around right to your feet if you throw it right and commit. i throw just like a normal cork but harder and when i am belly up and am facing the sky i grab mute and dip in and just land i fell on my first few because i never landed them on tramps or even really tried haha but since i landed my first one i havn't fallen since and i have probably done a couple dozen

Just come in with a lot of shin pressure. I don't know, it's kind of a weird trick
