Why were right dubs such a big deal?

I just watched reasons and Andreas did both double cork tens in his segment. I'm just wondering why they were made such a big deal out of now?

I'd imagine that they're pretty difficult.

don't you mean unnatural dubs?
because what if your natural spin was right?

Andreas doing both dubs was a big deal to the people who noticed, which is why he's one of the illest "both-way" skiers out there.

I'm not going to explain what makes an unnatural double flip a big deal.

maybe OP is understanding that un-natural dubs are obviously hard but not sure why when some went down at joss it was almost treated like the first time they had ever been done.
to be honest id pretty much forgot about that reasons segment and this has made me realise once again how sick andreas is. and obviously both kangs.

because most people do not spin rightside naturally so yeah if you can do a right dub and you naturally spin leftside your pretty good in my book

How many people in this thread can do a regular dub?

Exactly.

well it's also worth noting that switch right dubs were thrown at joss, and switch right is waaaay harder than just right (at least in my experience with "normal" tricks) so i'd say that was worthy of the hype it got

in a sense i do agree though, people dont make a huge deal out of andreas doing both way dub 10s and shit. it's sort of like when i watch jon olsson ski, i stop appreciating it cause all his tricks are so dialed and have been for so long it has a sort of numbing effect
