![]() As seems to be the trend with Jon’s tricks there is some debate about what is actually going on in the air! I, again, agree with the majority of speculators and believe it to be the very complicated sounding d-spin 630 to flatspin 630. The flip is named because this is the 2nd double flip invented by Jon (Kangaroo was named because he invented it in Australia) and so the Double Jon flip was born. It’s immense and the guy’s English which gets him easily to the number two spot because we’d almost expect that from a Canadian or American. Joe Murrell is an English kid who apparently had only done one season of skiing when he pulled this little puppy out the bag! This one is amazing and was invented by the only guy I’ve ever seen do one successfully. And with that in mind this is the daddy of skiing talking you through a sweet trick which isn’t that hard to do, though the style Tanner drops in with the double grab is typical of his skiing.īack to the inverted tricks for the number one and two spots. Going the other way from the spin-to-win is the school of thought which says the slower, more steezy the better. The bet was for $1,000! Maybe Jon became the richest skier by tricking the young ones into stupid bets as TJ obviously lost that bet not too long after! Here is the original: When he first did this trick Jon was making fun of him so TJ made him a pretty dumb bet that he’d never do it again. Henrik Harlaut is thought to have been the first one to do this but TJ Schiller’s is almost unrivalled when it comes to stomping it with such style. This trick is cab, which means going off switch, 1440 so four full spins. So this is still one of the hot topics of conversation in the freestyle skiing world because a lot of the time when somebody spins this many times there is a distinct lack of style and people claim the direction skiing is heading in is ‘spin-to-win’ instead of the preferred emphasis on style.

Check out Jacob throwing it down in this video: The most popular and my own opinion is that its a flatspin 5 to flatspin 3. So what is it? This is a strongly argued point on many forums and between a lot of skiers. It is still an amazing talent to be able to pull it off so it definitely makes the list. Whatever you like, this is the Nonstop Top 5…īack in 2006 this trick would have been number one on almost everyone’s list but thanks to its inventor, Mr Jon Olsson, it has become over used and has won too many competitions already. Others give no credit to the ‘spin-to-win’ era we’ve moved into and much prefer a steezy tweaked out 540 or just a simple late 180. Some love the maximum amount of spins possible on a single jump. Some people prefer the inverted freestyle tricks. ![]() This is a much debated topic among freestyle gurus.
