First triple on skis? Norway's aerial team do triples for breakfast. To claim a first "freeski triple" it has to be on a freeski axis(cork, flat) and grabbed. But huge props to the guy for hucking a triple back, he must be stoked.
Good question. I just saw this on facebook and posted it, so we will have to wait and make sure he actually landed it. I just got real pumped for Ola when I saw this because he is such a good guy and wanted to get him props right away (hopefully not premature with the landing claim). Hope he stomped it and can't wait to see the landing. I'm guessing they are saving it for the movie they are making.
LOL EHEATH IS FAT, but seriously shut the hell up he's telling the truth, a straight triple backflip is not that amazing by any means. For sure props for doing that on a park jump and what looks like landing though but I wouldn't really call a straight over triple back a true triple.
P.S. eheath can probably ski better then you can so get off his back
Anyone who says this doesnt really count is a pussy. Tripples are tripples, a trip back in my books is FUCKING LEGIT!!! If its so damn easy to huck a tripple lets see you guys put out and lets see the vid.
You're missing the point. Triple backflips have been done for years. So has jumping on skis, or 360 heli mogul jumps. The thing is we are a newschool site that do newschool tricks. Just as we don't give a shit when an aerialist does a quad quad.
Yes, a triple back flip is a triple flip. But a "Triple," in the way that it is used on this site, refers to a newschool trick. A trip back is not newschool, not in the same game as a trip cork, and therefore should not be claimed as a "triple." It is irrelevant in a newschool discussion. This is the same reason why a wack flip gets less respect. Rather than using a newschool axis (cork, rodeo, bio, etc) its three backflips, tweaked out.
That being said, that triple back flip was sick. It is not a newschool trick but it is ballsy as fuck and hard to do. Style and axis is what makes our segment of the sport. Don't forget that. No matter what those text in idiots at the x games say about Dumonts double front beating Jon.
you hate and bitch more than anyone on this site, cant you just open the thread and say, "wow, he is very good at skiing and that was an epic trick." and then click back to ski gabber and read the next thread....people on this site would appreciate it
thanks for reading my post, cant wait for you to hate on it
