I was just wondering this on my way to school today, seems like a lot of skiers/snowboarders have triple corks now, will anyone be able to push it even more and land a quad cork? Is that kind of future spins even possible?

when triples become as common as doubles are now im sure someone will huck a quad back and call it quad flat.

id rather see someone get better grabs in triples or get one unnatural first

Who the fuck cares? Let's just hope that it doesn't happen in the X-Games so a legitimate quad cork will be the first and not some jackass that hucks a quad backie to 180.

Skiers have done quads before so I can only assume we will do them in the cork fashion. I mean, give me one reason as to why we wouldn't? Humans have a knack for doing whatever we possibly can do.

Wilson probably did one 10 years ago and is waiting for somebody to come close to landing one so he can come out with a video saying "Oops, sorry, I win."

People said the line was crossed with dubs. People said the line was crossed with trips. The line doesn't mean anything.

I think it can be done but i think that's where it stops, if it will be done. Peoples insanity is unlimited, but jump size isnt.

Seeing how he did the first double cork 10 over snowbird's half pipe years before Jon ever attempted the Kangflip, I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

there is never a limit to human. Once a single was done a double happened, then a triple, next a quad. If we stop improving there wouldnt be free skiing. Its that simple

At the current rate of progression, I would be pretty surprised if a quad rodeo doesn't happen in the next 5 years.

for sure will be done! jumps are getting bigger and bigger, which means they get more air = bigger tricks.

I would want to see it happen, but probably not in competition. How stylish a trick looks is relative to the jump its done on. Because many jumps aren't built for triples, skiers are forced to spin way to fast to keep their style and can't tweak their grabs.

If someone did a quad off a massive backcountry step up, and had time to air it out with a nice grab, I would want to see that.

I think that its a possibility but itd would be just so damn stupid. people are going to start to get injured left and right. park jumps are going to get so huge we will have people dying every year. from just park skiing. i think its ridiculous for people to start doing quads. but i bet we will see it in 2-3 years.
