What Torstein throws here in a triple wildcat backflip. We all know what a wildcat is right? It's where the term Tamedog comes from for us skiers.

I'm not trying to diminish the trick here, it's sick as fuck, but I still see a triple backflip to late 180. I could care less about park riding, and the names of all the tricks out there, but in my limited experience I'm not seeing a rodeo except for on the last rotation.

Anyone with me on this?

oh shit you might be right. i looked up snowboard rodeo on youtube and they all land with backfoot forward. but a lot of them are called rodeo 5, so billy probably did rodeo 3 three times?

man , im sorry to keep saying this but you are just flat out wrong. it just looks weird because he added the 180 really late. a rodeo on a snowboard is basically: a barrel roll + 180. a double rodeo is 2 barrel rolls + 180. and a triple rodeo is 3 barrel rolls + 180.

backflips on the other hand, are basically just cartwheels in the air. which he clearly does not do.


if you dont believe me, google it. also , do you really think that the entire snowboard magazine community, who have all written about this story, would get the trick name wrong? do you think that the guy who threw it would get the name wrong?

No one is with you, you are wrong.

why a lot of you guys are saying it's a triple back 180?
snowboarding and skiing are different and for doing both skiing and snowboarding i can tell you it's a perfect triple backside rodeo 12 and definatly not a triple back cause you can see he's poping on his backside edge to go to the rodeo!!!!

technically, that is really a triple backflip late 180. but, because the way snowboarding rodeos and naming conventions have evolved it is known as a backside triple rodeo. a rodeo is a backflip 540. But, very few riders do them properly. 90% of rodeos are really just backflip 180s, but that is how the trick has evolved. a backside double rodeo should look like this (trice in absinthe neverland):



but instead it looks like this 1080 (trice does them both ways):




you see them a lot to 9 in comp runs, like this:

and that is why its called a backside triple rodeo. a "true" backside triple rodeo would melt faces. and its nothing like a lincoln loop to whoever suggested that.

apparently those didn't embed right. the first vid should start at 4:00, and the third vid should start at 0:13. sorry for the confusion
