The Triple Cork from torstein horgmo on Vimeo.

okay i might be completely wrong... whatever.

im in a debate with my buddy. he thinks this triple is like a normal triple cork..

but to me it seems like its a rodeo or flatspin because it looks like hes doing completely upside down and not really just off axis plus hes not spinning much.. i thought its was like a dub rodeo 10 to rodeo 7 or something but i have no clue. im just pretty sure its not a normal cork spin.

what do you think?

ps its a snowboarder
 
repost and its been discussed before but i personnally think that its more like a dub rodeo to cork. anyways, i want to marry Torstein. no Horgmo
 
HAHAHAHA you sir have just won. thank you for the most laughs i've had in a long time. I found that hilarious for some reason
 
fuck you..

thats showing im asking opinions about what the guys actually doing. if you dont have an opinion gtfo
 
honestly I swore up and down that this was not a cork because of the way it's thrown. it looks more rodeo'd than anything else. I mean, after the first flip he's rotated a whopping 90 degrees plus the rotation of the flip. however, if you look at the original thread of this video some snowboard explains that shit is different on a snowboard so even if it looks like he just threw a triple flip or a triple rodeo, it was really a triple cork (?). STILL doesn't make sense to me, but I am gonna trust the word of a snowboarder over my own common sense when it comes to snowboarding
 
That was so sick! It starts out looking like a double flip but then on the third flip he adds more of a spin, giving it the triple cork feel.
 
well first off id like to say that the snowboard part makes it out out of discussion of what a ski triple would look like... a ski triple would be like a normal cork three times, its the way physics just works, a snowboard double cork looks like a double backflip 360 out... way the fuck different... so a trip on a snowboard would just be a triple almost inverted rodeo to 540 out, which is what he did. snowboard tricks are named differently
 
peoples, there is no rodeo in there. He starts off with a frontside underflip set, then throws it into a second underflip, then on the third flip rotates around.

I'm gonna call it a frontside triple underflip 14 until something that makes more sense is brought up.

pretty aerials on a snowboard, but nonetheless amazing, torstein is too good both tech and style.
 
110% a triple flip, his head goes under his body clearly 3 times. your friend is an idiot, and also the person who named the vid
 
flip for sure. glad we all agree.

makes me wonder if Bobby Brown's "triple cork" at Alyeska is really a cork... guess we'll have to wait and see
 
this with a third cork would be a real triple cork on a snowboard in imo...this was a triple flip!
 
what i see when i watch this is a double back, then on the third he takes it corked

but i do meth so im probably wrong
 
You realize that would mean that he did a triple rodeo 1800??? which

a)no one has spun that much from my knowledge just pencil steeze

b)that would just be insane and the maximum the sport cna go(IMO)

c) it looked like he was just doing backflips for the first to 'corks' or 'rodeos'
 
Okay reposting this from the other thread.
"-Mees' snowboarder brother posting on his account-
To everyone saying it's not a triple cork:Skiing and snowboarding have different definitions for corks and rodeos. In snowboarding, any flip + spin trick is either a cork or a rodeo, doesn't matter if you do a full flip or an off-axis rotation. And most of the time if you don't go inverted very far, it's just called a spin. Unlike skiing, where it's called a cork when you go the tiniest bit off-axis, and for example an underflip when you do a complete flip.
Our corks are comparable to your underflips, and our rodeos to your flatspins.So in snowboarding terms, this is a frontside triple cork 1440, and definitely not a triple rodeo or backflip."
 
Yep, that's a double cork too. It's a backside one though, those look more corked instead of flipped most of the time. Frontside doublecorks almost always look flipped, with some exceptions like Andreas Wiig's in Double Decade.As I said, it's called a cork whether you flip or just go off-axis, so I'm not sure what your point is.
Snowboarders just aren't as specific when naming tricks, I guess.
 
Sorry for double posting, but I didn't see an edit button.

Compare this one to Scott See's. Both backside double cork 10's, although they look very different. Disregard the video title, that was january 2008 when nobody had ever seen this trick. Misties don't really exist in snowboarding, that term died out some time ago.

 
Mees brother = stupid

A cork is a cork, a rodeo is a rodeo, etc in just about every sport, it's no different in snowboarding.
 
Nope, that's just how snowboarding is. Skiers are way more precise when naming tricks, snowboarders just go "oh he spun frontside and flipped twice, frontside double cork!"It's not logical at all, since some people do them more flipped and some people more off-axis, but it's the truth.
I mean, Torstein himself calls it a triple cork, the Helgason brothers call it a triple cork, Travis Rice and David Benedek called the two-flip version a double cork, Shaun White calls the pipe version (which is flippy as hell) a double cork.
 
This guy is 100 percent on point. I was about to say the same thing. Snowboarders don't give a fuck about splitting hairs which is why they dont call shit flatspins, they realize they're all rodeos and that they can vary from person to person without being renamed. Why should a trick get a different name because it goes upside down? its still the same motion, just exagerated a bit more.
