for cork i believe you dont have to go full inverted as long as you are far enough off axis i believe it counts as a cork. Granted its definitely up to discussion but you cant say that last flip is fully on axis

True. Idk it's borderline for me

Is it really a quad though? the last "flip" was hardly off axis. Still an insane trick and mad respect to wacko but i"m not 100% convinced.

are you serious? The last one was more than some of the others
 
Haters will say it's not corked but even if you call that last 360 a wobble it is still a 1620 with 4 off axis rotations. I don't think anyone has done anything similar ever.

Unpopular opinion, good for wacko, he's a fuckin animal and I hope gets 4 girls tonight for his accomplishments. But that shit was ugly. Give me a monster backie or smooth 1 any day.

Pffffff gtfo of here with that try hard edgy contrarian bullshit. No one has ever done that trick and we all thought quads would look worse.

not hating.. love the Wells, but idk the first 3 were killer but that last one is iffy. maybe its because the first 3 are so corked that it makes me question the last...

oh mad props. i love the wells haha super sick. Im sure he could go back and hit it again and throw a bit more cork on that last one and shut people like me up but yeah
 
So are we gonna have another quad a couple days later like snowboarding? Now that its been done will anyone working on it stop? I have a feeling more than a few riders were working on it only for it to be copped outta nowhere in the best way possible.
 
Id say there's a chance Bobby has already done one and it'll be in his movie coming out in a few weeks.

Remember when these things were kept quiet until a movie premiered? That ended with Sammy's triple, would be nice to see it come back.

was thinking the same thing.
 
At first I thought it was a quad 14 which would have been even more insane but then I realized he took off switch. Oh well. Props. Now we just wait for a 15 year old to send one...

there is no flip, feet never come close to going over his head through the entire trick

Meh... as soon as you get to cork who gives a shit.

If you want the OG quad you just hit Frank Bare.


That is the true original.

Cork isn't a flip. For a cork you go off axis. To which wacko went off axis four times...

dont think of cork as a flip its more of an of axis spin.i dont think it needs to be as flippy
 
Everybody saying that it was a quad is fucking BLIND holy shit.

Pause the video when he's in the last rotation if you think it's not a corked rotation you shouldn't be in a conversation about what a trick is called.
 
I was expecting to see a little more hate in this thread... I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for entertainment.

a cork is defined as being "off axis", not the vertical axis, not an invert. No one ever called it a Switch quad FLIP 16. Each axis was not vertical, and not inverted right? Even if the 4th wasn't as corked as the rest, it still wasn't vertical. Appreciate it for what it is kids! The majority of you can't even do one cork, Wacko for president

Here goes my karma but someone had to say it....

Since when do 4 spins count as quad?

I kinda agree last rotation isn't a proper cork.. Amazing trick but not a proper quad cork in my opinion .

Because there are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many 'proper' quad corks to compare that to.

With all due respect, if your feet go over your head in in a cork then it isn't a cork. A cork is a backwards off axis spin, not a flip. It's what seperates a cork from a Dspin and a bio from a misty. That said, I agree that the last rotation was only slightly corked.
 
GOD DAMN WACKO OUT OF NOWHERE. But damn major props, still can't get around the fact that the first quad came from him and on that axis.... I remember at JOI when the first dub 7s happened and that blew peoples minds... that was like two years ago, now quads are happening on almost the same axis, skiings progression is just nuts right now.
