I get it. First quad cork on skis. Sick. Progression. All that.
Good job Wacko. You're nuts.
But why do we say its a first?
I'm genuinely curious to debate this, because frankly as soon as you're doing that much spinning and flipping, its all about set the shit out of it - lock into a position - then stomp at the last possible second.
Frank Bare did a quad back in '83.

This one was off-axis, that one was on-axis. One guy kept his body straight one kept his body tucked. Both were just locked into a single position spinning, flipping and praying to god.
So - what makes it a first when its simply slightly off-axis? Is a few degrees of rotation different worth calling first?
Honestly interested in opinions on this, not trying to start shit. So please simply share your thoughts, I don't want to talk about rotations and style at all here.
