Rumours told me that russ henshaw and macrae williams landed the tripple cork today at the JOI kicker in Åre sweden. A lots of riders have attempted different tripples and there was almost a tripple cork 1800 landed... where is this madness gonna end?

I guess JOI will be crazy this year... what do you think?

Russ was soo close to that triple in The Way I See It, I've been pulling for him to give it another go. When I think "triple cork" that what I imagine, and I hope he stomps it soon. Great to see him so close.

I hope that we see some slow, steezy doubles on the JOI jump, along with these insane triples. Not hating on triples or anything, but I'd like to see the same thing happen to dubs that did to switch cork 9s and the like.

Bobby threw his triple after a number of days spent building up to it at the Red Bull facility. These guys have just rocked up to Are in the last day and did all of this on day one. Give it some more time, things will look better by the end!!

That triple isn't quite as nice as the one he almost landed in The Way I See It. He's saying he hopes Russ puts down a perfect one like in the movie.

Oh, my bad, I suppose it's true that this one isn't a true triple cork like the MSP one.

" Im married now" haha, what is that the biggest, best jump to get enough rotation for a triple?, if so they still look hucked, props for trying them though, you have to have a lot of balls, but i am pretty sure aerialist can do quads or have been doing trips for a while

You have to consider these are their first attempts at them. It's going to take them a little bit to get grabs locked in and really clean them up. The same thing happened with doubles when they were first being done.
