About
The double front pike is a surprisingly new skill to the code of points, not named or entered into the code until Brenna Dowell performed it at the 2015 World Championship in Glasgow. A moment immortalized in the Oscar-winning film Full Out 2.
(With all apologies to queen of Sweden Veronica Wagner, who was competing it successfully a decade before but fell on her attempt in qualification at 2006 worlds.)
Maybe if it were valued better more people would have done it by now.
