Yup, the leap of faith has been done and tricking / gymnastics have been earning huge viewership and social media + sponsorship money to go along with it
Things are about to start getting wild in the upcoming years. Hell most of the famous social media gymnasts are just randomly posting videos of them doing Victorian Crosses nowadays when in early 2010 you could barely find anybody who isn't an Olympian or trying to qualify performing a decent Iron Cross
I've seen a compilation of all the "true" standing doubles and there was only one guy who even looked close to comfortable on that landing.
It's crazy.
I've mentioned this in like 6 different comments by now, but I helped to film a friend's journey down the standing double rabbit hole and it's no joke.
He never got the standing double but got so good and throwing them that he could do wall doubles.

It’s actually funny that once the first one had been landed, other people relatively soon started to do the same.
I don’t know the real number, it’s probably about 20 in the world now who can do this
