In the movie he basically goes the same way as the cork 720, except he spins way faster and ends the first "cork" flip before he's on the highest point of his jump, then it looks like he's gonna tuck under while spinning and then they cut it out ... so it looks like he goes for a cork flip and then spins all the way to another flip 720 or something ... So crazy !!!

But I remember that in a video, while talking about the 7, he was saying that the gymnast helping him told him that maybe if he could go for a second flip and an extra spin, his momentum would help him come back straight ... Sounds pretty crazy !

No, not to my knowledge...Tom Pages was practicing corked 540's off a quarterpipe but he never even attempted a 720 to my knowledge; neither did Charles...

it was as sick movie, i like the way it was layed out not all bam bam bam had good build up. some of those stunts were epic and the opening scene in 3d was amazing, it was definatly worth crossing the boarder to go see since its no tup here in Canada
