Both skier and snowboard Big Air at X-Games 2014 were won by throwing Triple Cork tricks. The age of the Triple Cork has arrived. Max Parrot of Canada just won the X-Games Snowboard Big Air with a Triple Cork 1620.
You’re going to have to throw Triple Corks to win from now on. There’s likely not going to be many exceptions to this new rule. Snowboarding and skiing are changed forever.
Quadruple corks? How far off are they? We can assure you that they aren’t far off. These guys make big money throwing these tricks at this level. They want to push it. They want to be the best, the want to go bigger, and they’re willing to pay the price.
