I've wondered the same thing. I guess it's just a trick that lost its popularity. Even though i saw one thrown at X games, they are still rare to see. If you're ever bored, take 15 minutes and click your way back to the end of the archives section in videos. Dspins were so popular.

they're very similar to corked 7s... and plus, there's harder tricks in the book, which the pros throw more.

Yeah at every X-Games there is the ''it'' trick that has to be thrown down to have a good chance at placing high. This year it just happens to be the 1080.

^ Haha, your J.D. sig. made me laugh. What we need are Mike Wilson's smooth double flip variations.

For me d-spins are cool.They just look good.
The reason why people stop doing them is because a D-spin is a flip,and flips are illegal in competitions.If you can't do em in comp,why practice them?

^ inmajor pro comps inverts are allowed. i tihnk the big thing is that it's way easyier to throw ina huge amount of diffierent combination of grabs in a corked spin. in a d-sipn the rotation has to be set so hard the steep that you can only do like tails to make them look good.
