This is a slopestyle run that very well might go down in history – not only did Yuki Kadono put down the first ever switch backside triple 1620 a few weeks ago in the LA Air & Style, but on Friday he went for broke on his very last run and landed back-to-back triple cork 1620s, earning him the top spot at this year’s open and a spot on the rest of the competitor’s shoulders to carry him out of the arena.
No matter what you might think about gymnastics or spinning-to-win, that is some mind-bending stuff and will most likely set the bar in terms of the next step in competition progression. Even Mark McMorris’ incredible comeback jump line – cab double 1080 off the quarter, frontside triple 1440 and backside triple 1440 – couldn’t compete.
