Easiest Double?

Ok so I'm looking into doing a double next year but not sure which one. I have a feeling it will most likely be a dub back because I can do those extremely confident on tramps and off water ramps at Ohio dreams. But I have heard a few people say when you try a dub back on snow they are extremely easy to over rotate. So I can kinda do a dub flat and have heard those are much easier to land. So I want your opinion NS which is easier for my circumstances.

Well if you feel confident about the rotations on tramps and water ramps then you should be able to control the rotation and not over rotate. No doubles are going to be easy, and most of it is personal preference. Just get super confident on the tramps and ramps and then take it to some deep snow.

"Easy" at the doubles stage is more down to personal preference than anything I feel like. If you're confident on dub backs then do a dub back, no need to introduce a different rotation like on dub flat and confuse yourself

Dub backies are easy on the ramps at Ohio Dreams. It would probably be the same feeling on snow. They scare me though so I'm thinking switch dub 9 as my first dub.

dude my first ever dub back (never did them on tramps or anything) was on skis on a medium jump, almost landed it, it's really not hard, it's a single axis and motion, and if you lay the second one you can spot for ages. Dub flat unless you can do them well on water ramps are much more likely to make you spin a little too sideways, and tramp flats are different from ski flats. Just huck a dub back in pow, you'll be fine. (tip, don't think of throwing the first one harder just to get around, feel the first one and use your back if that makes sense to throw yourself hard into the second one. and pull your head out, spot, land.)

its what ever your most comfortable with for sure but dub flat 7 is far less blind, looks cooler and has lower consequence than dub backie.

from my experience i think the double cork 12 was the easiest to learn you can really just rip it and kick it, weather with dub backs and dub flats i find them to boring and to LSM for my liking

Peace out and shred ya laterz

I haven't done it on snow, but I have found on airbags that PERSONALLY, once you get them down, dub 10 is slightly easier. Harder to learn, but once you get them on like an airbag or water ramp there isn't much difference in difficulty. If you MUST take it to snow and not use some kind of safety ramp, then send dub backie. Dub flat can spin the wrong way after the first flip if it doesn't go well enough.
