Torgeir Bergrem lands first ever triple cork 1620
Well there you have it, another day and another new, insanely difficult yet not so styled out trick thrown down.
As much as I’d rather see a huge method, or boned out front 3, putting down a triple cork 1620 no easy feat. So congrats to you Torgeir, keep up the impressive work.
Watch the triple cork 1620 on helgasons.com. We would embed it on the site but it’s hosted through some old-school video player that no one uses.
