I need help proving my friend wrong.

So my friend thinks that in a cork the flip doesn’t add to the rotation. Which to my understanding is false. If you do a double cork 10 then you do a cork 7 plus a flip and the flip gives you the 360 to make a 1080 and a flip. Am I right? I need help fast!

let me know if this doesn’t make sense.

ig so dub 10 isn't a flip though so it's just considered off-axis, if you did count it as a flip it would be like a backflip 360 to backflip kinda, but yea it's cork 7 to cork 3ish so you would be right.

you're correct because the second flip in a dub 10 is off axis, so it counts as a 3. Your friend is viewing things from a gymnast's perspective, where they don't count a flip as a rotation (ex. with a back full, the flip is not considered to be a rotation). if that makes sense.

Aren’t those impossible. While I’m at it if you do a rodeo 5 and added a 3 to it would it be a rodeo 5 or 9. My friend dad said I did a rodeo one but I tried to a explain since it’s off axis the “flip” count as the three if that makes sense.

that’s the joke, because if the flip didn’t count as rotation it would be a misty 180 when really it’s a misty 5

The flip and the spin sort of mix. Angular momentum isnt exactly straight forward.

If you're 10 - 30 and your main circle isn't discussing: how a flip adds to the spin. Then it's time to find a new circle. your network is your net worth.

Well it started by me wanting to know who understood what a cork was and then I would ask a question: is a dub cork 3 or 5 possible. And then we got into an argument about why a cork is.

Can confirm as a former gymnast this is exactly why I was confused asf when I first heard it called a dub (7/10/etc)

For corks there really is no flip, so no flip would be counted to the spin.
For rodeos, misties, flats the flips count toward the spin.

Done right, it's a cork, not a flip. This + grabbing is how park skiing still isn't quite aerials.
