Who landed the first double cork ever?

I'm curious as to who landed the first ever double cork on skis. I consider my historical knowledge of freeskiing to be pretty deep and I know Jon has been given a lot of credit with his Kangaroo Flip, but I was watching Volume Video Magazine-Issue #11 the other day and saw Mike Wilson bust out a dub 10 during Big Air at the US Open back in 2004. I don't think I've ever seen, let alone fathomed any footage of a double at that point in time or earlier. Anyone know the answer to this?

auskiYou're obviously very passionate about this and I'm not going to change your mind but I disagree and you're wrong

The double misty as a concept is pretty far removed from aerials too. Hardly a 'leftover'


Nothing the Schrabs did was far-removed from aerials. He just did the same stuff they were doing in a forward direction. Not to mention he didn't land the double misty, so it's a moot point.
