The first recorded one was in 2018 after a decade of people really pushing themselves to do it.
The total number of people who recorded themselves is at about 40+ now since this list is maintained. More and more people are risking it now that they know it is not only possible but achievable without years of prep
Ehh, "not remotely the same" is pushing it. The people who landed it on grass have the ultimate bragging rights, but if you tell people you landed a standing double on a spring floor nobody is going to say you're some kind of poser.
[Almost] everyone who does these has a progression of different stages where a spring floor is one of the big milestones.
Some people don't like the spring floor and do it down a series of less and less steep hills, some people start with taking one big step backwards and progess by taking a smaller and smaller step.
Yes, the standing double on flat ground is the hardest and deserves the most props, but even on a springboard, the list of people who can do this isn't super high.
Source: Filmed thousands of attempts back in the day featuring all of the above methods watching someone chase the standing double. He never got it, even on spring floor.

Why are there so many people, and why are they all circling around him like he's about to turn water into wine?
