theabortionatorFirst, forst backflip isn't relevant. OP says hes has them dialed on skis. I mentioned first backies in that anyway though.
Dub cork? Sometimes people get hurt trying those, more people try them on park jumps. If you throw it weird or lose where your at you can fuck yourself up. Obviously park is less soft than powder. On a good jump n a double backflip the chances are better of landing it. Sure a good pow lip is great, a lot of people chucking in pow have pretty beat jumps that make it harder imo, also OP is on the east coast again. No deep pow windlips in some bowl to tour to.
People def fuck themselves up in powder.
Not everyone has a foam pit, not everyone has a big pow lip. Honestly if you have singles dialed, and dubs dialed on the tramp, the right jump you're prolly gonna stomp it.
As far as the advice about overrotating singles before theowing a dub. I'd say prolly get better at landing singles. If you can't slow yourself down on a single it's going to be tougher on a dub. We're not talking fosm pit where you yolo until you go it. Even in pow a 1.5 is bad news.
Idk, there's no point in arguing anymore. The "you need to learn it in powder" people are always around. I get it but if OP has them dialedin his sleep on skis, has dubs on the tramp, has the right jump, and knows the feel. There's no reason he won't bring it to his feet.
I think you're misinterpreting what I'm trying to say man, and maybe that's my bad for not being clear. Just general experience, honestly not even talking about OP at this point. I know not everyone lives somewhere they can make a good jump, I was like that for most of my life, and it seems like OP is probably fine to send this on a big park jump he feels comfortable on and I'm not trying to discourage that.
I want to address this specifically because I think I phrased this poorly:
"As far as the advice about overrotating singles before theowing a dub. I'd say prolly get better at landing singles. If you can't slow yourself down on a single it's going to be tougher on a dub. We're not talking fosm pit where you yolo until you go it. Even in pow a 1.5 is bad news."
I totally agree, I said that poorly and that's not really what I meant. I'm not saying your goal is to overrate a single, it was just giving an idea of how much airtime you need and in hindsight that message just wasn't clear. Yes you absolutely should be comfortable enough with singles to be stomping them pretty much anytime, and you should have the skill to slow down the set.
Actually what I tell people in person is the number one most important thing is that they have the air awareness to make that split second call whether to wrap for two, or unwrap and backslap when they spot after the first flip, because you should never do a 1.5 and land on your head.
I'm absolutely not a "you need to learn it in powder" guy, I'm a "this is how I did it so I can tell you you about what worked for me" type of guy, I have not once said that you need to do it in powder and I won't.
