Dowdy's clean double roll w2w floating around on the book of face, got me thinking. What if this summer it's doubleville for the win like the triple is for snowboarding?
Quick question: Regarding Dowdy's double backroll here, did he take it to revert/switch because its easier to land that way (ie. the trick naturally wants to go that way anyway)? Just curious....
I've always said that all good backrolls want to go to revert.
For an advanced rider they are both easy tricks (singles not doubles), but a roll-to-revert is more natural when you edge away hard. I believe that would hold true for a double.
I don't know why Cisco came in with all the videos of kicker doubles. I hate it when people compare to snowboarding, but my point is, if anyone follows snow they know that pretty much Mcmorris has it wrapped up every contest as long as he lands a triple cork that he has on lock, and it makes everyone else attempt it, whether they're one a few to land them as well or not, to even have a chance at winning. Who knows what Shaun White really has, but I doubt he has a triple off a booter. Hopefully more guys get them in their bag by summer, or else Harley and maybe Dowdy will run away with it.

What the?? When did Harley land that? I thought Shane Bonifay was the only one who could do that toeside! And Harley did that really clean too... no celebration or anything. Just another trick!
On the original topic, I would have to think with all these W2W double inverts going down behind the boat, that a triple would at least be possible off the double-up.
I just noticed that Shane's version of the double toeside roll to revert is different than Harley's. Shane does a toeside roll to revert into a frontroll. It's because Shane does his 180 during the first roll that it naturally sends him into a frontroll for the 2nd rotation. It's different, and probably should be named something else. Harley's is a two straight ts backrolls and than a 180 at the end.
I don't get what makes a ___cork now. The term came to popularity with Shaun White doing halfpipe tricks that were inverted spins that were "double corks" because he changed the axis of rotation, the first "flip" would be on one axis, then he would duck his head into a different axis for the second flip of his total 1080,1260, etc of rotation.
That triple cork 1440 just looks like an off axis 1440. I dont see three different axes of rotation. Didn't off axis spins used to have different names like "rodeo" spins? Who/when changed the names to "____cork?"
I'm not as up to speed on my snowboarding terminology as wakeboarding...am I missing something or is the double/triple cork fad causing everyone to rename their off axis spins to sound cooler? (Kind of like when any messed up backflip was called A THREE-SIXTY!!!!! in motocross best trick)
You're right, you aren't up on your snowboard lingo... there are also double rodeos, and someone has done a triple but it was kind of ambiguous and I didn't think it was as legit as some of the doubles I'd seen... it was hucked.
Rodeo is different than cork, is different than misty etc... Can't explain it without a ton of videos that I won't look up
