Trevor Jacob double flip/cork

[Gheri Sandusky]

I have mixed feelings about this.

[Buzz Killington]

Stuff like that should have no place in skateboarding, but gnarly as shit nonetheless

True, best part was "double cork". BMX type shit does not look good on a skateboard

[velocirapedher]

that makes bmx look like rollerblading... tho i totally agree

[Charles Smith]

i guess that was cool, though i would really rather watch that little asian girl kickflip into a quarter...

[shit_for_brains]

i thought it was going to be a double flip crook and that you couldn't spell.

more of a snowboarding term really

[shred420]

Ive skated with this kid hes like a pro snowboarder or some shit so this isn't a surprise why they called it a double cork.

[bumptobar]

The intro monolouge was stupid.  No one cares.  Also i think trevor jacob is the most suiting name for a kid that does a double back flip.

Lemme see that.

[Unbridled Technical Precision]

exactly,

but in all seriousness, this game was the shit

[Big Skatefase]

please keep this snowboarding shit out of skateboarding

[tb303]

I'm surprised no one has done this on mega ramp yet. If Way or Burnquist did it it would be great....

sorry for partying dude

Regardless of the painful intro, I don't see how you guys can hate on progression. I don't see this as an example of a 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' type of trick.

really? i feel like this embodies that phrase... i would really not care to see another one of those. unfortunately, i know bob burnquist or somebody is working on three right now.

progression? when will he ever get to use that trick in a skateboarding context? (not a foampit) its an evolutionary dead end, but i guess someone had to do it at some point, might as well be a guy named trevor.

[happenstance]

I mean, the painful intro, basketball shorts, resin ramp and bad style made it unlikable for some of you, I get that. At least he didn't self-cheer right after. Still worth some respect nonetheless.

he did it into a foam pit?  Are you sure you even watched the video?

[Spike Hawke]

An early grab double backflip is just a scooter trick without the pole thing they hold on to.

[papasmurfsdog]

That intro deserves a dick photoshopped into every picture he was and will ever be in. His marriage will be him marrying a giant dick and his family portraits will just be him as the centerfold of a giant bukake party.

[natenola forever]

that trick is gay as fuck, some circus bullshit. and i don't consider landing tricks into a resin ramp as a make either

[KoRnholio8]

i agree this looks whack, but other recent backflip threads had a pretty high approval rating here at slap

also, that clip needs a lot of monster logos, seems only fitting

[doomstation55]

The real question is, can this dude kickflip? I would not be surprised if he's just a mountainboarder or some bullshit and happens to be really good at early grab backflipping jump ramps on a regular board.

Gravette's was the first acceptable single backflip I've ever seen, because it was actually styled out over a huge gap with a cement landing, not plastic covered gymnastics mats

[happenstance]

^This is pretty acceptable to me. It is on a street spot dammit!
