I typically just do doubles. Singles are just not enough.

It's not about landing it, it's about not dying.

this.

i've had to do it a few times when ive been cliff jumping or something. over-rotated wayyy too much and could either tuck and bring it to close to double, or land flat on m back and get hurt even more

ive seen it done before on ns. a guy attempted a backflip and overrotated a lot and before he landed he tucked and finished off the second backy. it looked really sketchy though.

no evidence, but i was sending a backy first hit on a pretty medium sized jump in whistler a few years ago, i went a lot bigger then expected, extended fully and saw i still had a lot more time in the air so tucked for dub and got er around to catch my tips. better than a broken neck id say.

I just watched that, pretty sure he did a dub flat and tucked at the end for a trip. I could be wrong though

my aerialist buddy ended up doing his first double by accident.
he was going for a lay, and slung it way too hard, so he just tucked and ended up landing his first double completely by accident.

it is actually a good saying.
