i.e. will you have to be able to throw the double to win comps shortly. and who will we lay blame to if this eventuates? Rory? Jon? Peter? Some rnadom chick with big flaps?

jon is about to grow boobs so you will have to throw a double cork 12 octograb with your tits flapping in the wind

we can blame rory for the switch double back, but we should blame simon for the double front

im pretty sure that in about 1 or 2 years you wont stand a chance in any bigger competition if you dont have at least one good looking doubleflip. just look at how many people are doing them today, sooner or later everyone else is gonna realize that its not as hard as theyre made out to be. imagine in 2009, slopestyle runs consisting of three huge kickers with perfect takeoffs....its going to be nuts.

clearly we should all do nothing but straight airs and 180s because progression is fuckin stupid, why would we do that?

but andreas does way more tech runs with lots of switch compared to olenick

just to clarify, i wasnt ragging out the double flip.
im just saying i hope it doesnt get to the stage where if your not throwing the double, judges wont allow you to win the comps, like the cab 10

Double flips are lame. Mike Willson has been doing them for like 4 years.

yup. they r different and a refresher from spin to win and whatever but they are takin the sport back like 15 years. if you could throw some style into why not, but they look gay.

Double flips are great, spinning has gone as far as you can go off the competition sized jumps.
