Wakeboarder turned snowboarder turned BS Triple Cork 14

Mark Mcmorris used to compete in wakeboarding, but he made the switch to snowboarding. Probably one of the better decisions he has ever made. I love wakeboarding, but it is unquestionable that there is way more money in snowboarding. No girls in bikinis or lingerie, but let's not start that again. Will we see a triple invert in wakeboarding anytime soon? Shapiro got around 2.75 times on a Triple Speedball attempt, like five years ago. And after seeing Trevor Hanson stick a w2w double backroll, I bet we could see a triple HS backroll later this season. Until then, enjoy this vid...

Holy Mcguillicutty. Corks aside, 1440!? Wow.

I am still grappling with the "cork" concept. It's one of those things where you know it when you see it, but it's hard to explain exactly what it is. With that video for example, each of the 3 dips of his shoulder are characteristically different. There's no doubt in my min its a triple cork but I would have a really hard time describing the trick and how if differs from a rodeo.

I got to meet this kid at wakeboard nationals and he was a really down to earth kid and he is so full of talent it's not even funny. Can't even imagine where he be in a few years!

Wow! That last flip / rotation looks kinda like a under flip. Coming up too short would hurt. That kid has balls!

wouldn't want to find out, as he's not wearing a helmet. Kind of hard to believe as it's barely been a year since Kevin's accident, but hey, he made it.

He really should be wearing his Red Bull helmet. If not for his family and his future, but for one of his biggest sponsors.
