To the people who think this is a backflip: you dont understand what a rodeo is on a snowboard. it is 100% a triple rodeo. end of story.
To Bobby: your whole snowboard boots allowing for faster spins theory is completely false. if anything the harder boots of skiis allow skiiers to spin faster (if they want to). Skiiers are capable of doing quads (aerials) and also 1800s on fairly small jumps (check youtube).
To people who think this looks bad: The point is he wanted to be the first person to try this flip. He wanted to gain recognition and blow peoples minds. He certainly accomplished that. He also stomped the shit out of it.
personally i think its fucking insane how he was able to pull this trick on an early season public jump. and i think this guy is extremely talented. I would love to see him take this trick to a massive spring booter and put some steeze on it.
also, does anyone know why he didnt compete in the dew tour? it seemed like he was in summit county at the time ? if he pullled this trick on national TV i think people wud shit their pants. especially those lame ass anouncers.
