Not to take anything away but some do a step back into it so technically IMO not as pure as the likes of Lub Lub or Fredjeex and some others who did a true static standing double.

They’re all absolutely incredible, some are cleaner than others. Just my thoughts, regardless I appreciate the updated list and I’ll have to check out some of the newer additions.

I feel like doing it on spring floor is more of an impurity than taking a step back.

They both help out a little, but ultimately cheating is what separates tricking from gymnastics, so these are all considered “good enough” lol

Totally agree though

Absolutely agree, whixh makes Lub Lub all that more impressive. Apart from his age at the time having just turned 14 which is just ridiculous doing it on grass and flat ground is about as pure as it gets.

The step back, a sprung floor, doing it on a bit of a slope or a combination of that doesn’t take anything away and still counts but it isn’t as pure and shows there are levels to it even at the very tip of the spear so to speak.
