Debatedly, Wacko Wells did the first one. Back in the 70s or 80s some dude did a quad backflip. I think a couple aeriels skiers have done quads but I don't remember if they were quad fulls or just backflips.

too lazy to check and verify right now but i'm pretty sure both aerial skiers and old school hot doggers have done spinning quads, yeah

Shouldn't we obviously disregard aerials? The kickers are waaay different. Quads on a park jump are totally their own thing.

It's fun to hate on aerials, but they are undoubtedly far more insane than the freestyle quads:

So where do you draw the line between Aerials and "park jumps"? Is there a certain degree?

Shape of the kicker or distance traveled? Idk but aerials jumps just boost you straight up, they're not traveling very far forward.
