A switch backside triple cork 1620. We can hardly wrap our heads around that, but Japanese sensation Yuki Kadono threw and stomped it without a hiccup during the finals at the first Air + Style competition ever held in the United States. As many of you know, Shaun White bought the Air + Style competition last year and has since introduced a skiing component to the contest, which has drawn some discontent from the snowboarding community. In Snowboard Mag’s recent interview with Halldor Helgason, he gives us his feelings about many aspects of this video: triple corks, style, and of course those on two planks instead of one.

This trick is pretty insane.
