Laurent Favre's Cork 180! Ridiculous!

I'm not 100% sure if this is a re-post or not but I think it's worth it. Starting from 1:03 is the sickest thing i've seen in a while imo. Super stylish and big cork 180. He gets so corked and brings his feet around to what looks like a stomped landing. Anyways it just amazed me because you would have to carve so hard and be so comfortable in the air. Check it out and give your opinions!

I'm surprised that this is news to so many people since it was such a big deal at the time but yes Lolo absolutely kills it and has apparently learned some ways to manipulate gravity that most of us have yet to figure out.

yea.. i'm sure it was incredibly hard, and in someway probably defied the laws of physics. Maybe in slow motion it would be cooler!

i dont even want to start this but since we arent actually debating whether or not its a cork 180 I will.

YOu head doesn't have to go below your waist for cork. that would be inverted.

doesnt really look corked to me, looks like he was just flattening out in the air from coming off the jump in the middle of a carve...
