I'm nitpicking here but as I was scrolling through the comments of the Big Air thread and everyone is saying "henrik should throw a dub 7", my mind immediately goes back to the days of Kang flips and Jon throwing a dub 7 in Ski Porn. Double cork 7, much different obviously but for us old people like me...please elaborate. Onward and upward.

I've watched both of ABM's run and the double 7 he throws is the same as Jon's. I just don't get the hype that's all.

I could be wrong but I think that Jon was throwing dub flat 7s and the newer cork 7s are a weirder more difficult rotation.

But they look identical (except for the grabs).

Double cork, you don't go head over heels, you stay horizontal.

In that video of ABM, he is stomach up. It isnt a double cork 7, it is a double flat 7.

You're absolutely correct. Jon was throwing dub flat 7s. The dub 7s that are blowing minds these days are dub cork 7s. Much much much harder to do just like a cork 3 is more difficult than a flat 3.

He did a true dub cork 7 in practice, but the dub 7 he did in qualis was a dub flat 7.

Anybody else notice Jon doing future style there? Gorilla steeze before there was such a thing as steeze. There truly is nothing new under the sun.
