Russ to try Triple

Russ will get it no problem. Kid has the floatiest dubs as it is, and that booter looks ferocious.
 
not sure if he landed it, it pnly says that he tried, buw in case i think it was in msp spring shoot in alyeska, where bobby did hes triple
 
yeh i heard from a friend that was up at alyeska that it was almost a 16, insane!!! cant wait to see it
 
Can't wait for someone to stomp a more corked out variation of a triple. It was so ill seeing Andreas and Russ pushing each other when they both started doing dub right cork 12's at JOSS. They'd watch each other and kept experimenting with getting the proper axis's.

since when do people need to announce that they are going to attempt tricks before doing them?

this whole mess is getting goofy.
 
In this era of super-hype, is it such a bad thing to keep an 'almost' on the down-low?
Russ' triple cork 16 that he tried was super tight and grabbed the whole way, but the slam was a little more brutal than "washing out" as he described it.
 
just fucking do it. this isn't a boxing match, no need to hold a pre-trick press conference.
 
Cause they need a big jump to be built, people to document and whatnot. So even he didn't directly announce it, it would happen indirectly.
 
couldn't have said it better.

I'm fine with guys attempting triples, but I'm annoyed at the Evil Kneivel/Monster Truck Rally style announcing of an attempt.

"Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!! Watch the Flying Koala, Russ Henshaw, triple flippy spin the flaming jump of doom! You don't wanna miss it!"

It's fucking corny.

 
all he did was mention it on a blog post... cool your shit down bros he didnt hold a press conference or some shit

Yea, no joke.

Hasn't everyone on NS / the ski community hate claiming for the last 5 or more years? What happened to that? MSP even made a whole movie making fun of claimers.

This pre-event BS is just stupid. It's the ultimate claim.

 
am i missing something? what happened to make this big shitstorm of "claim hating"? unless im mistaken all he's said about it was this:

"Hopefully once the event is finished we can put a bit more pop on the take off. I want to re-try the triple cork 1440 I did on a spring shoot with Matchstick. I brought it to my feet then, but slid out so I am pretty confident I will be able to land as long as there is a bit more hang time. "

he mentioned it on his blog in 2 sentences. and i hadnt even heard he had tried one in the spring so he obviously isnt running his mouth about it

you guys must just want something to hate on or something. i hate claiming and all but jeez take it easy
 
i feel like russ doesn't get nearly enough love on this site. and claim wasn't really "making fun of claimers" per se.
 
theres no doubt russ henshaw will probably stomp a triple at some point soon. That being said, he needs to stop talking about it, and be about it. You dig?
 
It's in Australia. Thredbo is in the same state as Sydney.

No body knew he had a crack at it previously, there's no claiming here, just NS hype.

It was also good to see the event get some airtime on the news last night alongside the US Open tennis, football finals, etc. I hope he gets it, people like him and Andreas are responsible for the maturing of doubles.
 
Russ Henshaw is fucking insane, I would love to see a triple cork.

It's not like he issued a press release. He mentioned he wants to try one in a blog post. You kids are the ones that run with it...
 
He just said he wanted to try it. People hyped the shit out of chris turpins trip flat attempt last year and I never even heard about russ' trip cork attempt at the msp shoot until today.

If you were about to be the first person to ever do something(trip cork 14) then you might be excited enough to tell your fans on your blog too.
