In the way we think about it now, its either Jacob Wester or Jon Olsson at the JOI 3 - 4 years back. But people have been doing variations of double flips as long as the sport has been around like the double misty 1440 crash at whistler way back, or more perhaps more importantly mike wilsons dub back at the US open in like 2005 or something.

Pretty sure it was Jacob with the first "true" double cork...I believe Jon through the first Double Rodeo/Flatspin before Jacob did the double cork.

anyone who said Jon needs to get learned.

The first person I saw throwing double corks and double underflips was Wilson.

Was he the first? I dunno, but it wasn't Jon.

Schrab (sp?) brothers double misty, Whistler around 2000 (probably not landed)

Rex Thomas "Venus fly trap" = flair to front flip in quarter pipe around 2001

The "Risky Flip" around 2002

These dates are guesses. Please correct me.

Jon did the first official 'park' double.

The first double cork variation was the Wilson Flip in the 2004 (2005?) Big Air Freeskiing Open. He grabbed safety and stomped the shit outta it. However, he couldnt hold onto it for finals. It was fuckin perfect. You find the footage in Volume Video Magazine DVD.

it was jacob wester. i read a blog about it a while ago. he was talking about trick progression and how he worked out how to do it, and jon had it down pretty much 3 days later. the two of them push each other so they keep getting better and better.

Here is an excerpt from Jacob Westers blog where he describes the deal in from his point of view:

"Understandably, this got boring after a while. In Vail, Colorado, at the US Open big air competition in 2006, 37 out of 40 runs in the qualifying round were switch 1080s. Something had to happen, and I’m going to blame and thank Mike Wilson for taking the first step towards a new age of big air competitions. After landing two Wilson flips, or better described as “underflip to switch rodeo 540“, he didn’t make it into finals because the judges didn’t know what to make of it, but he left a few questions hanging in the air. Was this the way forward? Can we make this cool? Is this aerials?

Watching Wilson doing his thing while all of us were stuck in a rut of just spinning like tops, Jon Olsson and I said to each other – this is what we have to do. I remember Jon ranting about how this was the future and we better get on it now before everyone else. The rest is history. Jon went off to Australia to invent the Kangaroo Flip on the water ramps, I worked on double backflips in Åre (on the jump Jon built to learn Kangaroo on snow, all props to him for pioneering, yes, he should get the credit for doing the first “new school doubles”), and at the Jon Olsson Invitational in 2006, on the first perfect big air jump to try double corks/flats on, we unleashed the new tricks to the rest of the world, Jon stomping Kangaroos and I figuring out double cork 1080s and 1260s. All of a sudden these tricks were accepted by the judges, and we had something new and fun to play with."

I think this sorta clarifies that Wilson did double flips first but Jacob did the first true "double cork"?

I'm pretty sure Jacob Wester did the first "true" double cork, however he didn't do the first double flip. I'm pretty sure OP was asking who did the first double cork, not double flip.

Pretty silly argument, but my two cents: if we're talking about the "modern" double cork rotation, I'm pretty sure the Wilson flip doesn't apply. Watch the footage from the US Open and compare it to today's dub cork 1080, and tell me how similar the tricks are. Same goes for the Schrab double mistys. We're talking about dub cork here, not dub misties or rodeos or backflips or anything else.

Howver, if I were forced to find an exemplar before Jacob & Jon, I might look at Rick Wroblowski's Risky flip from back in the day, it's pretty damn close to a dub cork 10, but with oldschool invert steeze.

Probably just about impossible to say..... People have been trying to do them since like 2001, but everybody was just getting so fucked up because progression was so fast that people started focusing on style, which resulted in higher comp scores without as much risk. Just as hard, but a safer way to progress.

well we split a lot of hairs over in these here parts. the risky flip was a dspin 7 to backflip and those were thrown a while ago along with venus fly traps and shit, plus that double misty. but in the recent comeback of them, wilson did the wilson flip first that i know of, but wester, jon, and mike clarke are others i definitely saw throw them in the tricks' early days (this time around)

what i want to know is, who was the first to do the kang flip/ double rodeo/flatspin, jon or snowboarders?
