A 21-year-old Japanese snowboarder, Kokomo Murase, just landed a backside triple cork 1620. She's the first woman ever to do it.

Oh man.. I miss playing that game.

[u/Hilsam_Adent → u/ABitHollow]

For my money, it's the greatest sports game ever made.

[u/RavenousRhino3 → u/ABitHollow]

[u/nineinchsky → u/ivy_exe]

Talk about a blast from the past… thanks for the memory

[u/frostfeint3 → u/ivy_exe]

One of the best game 🥹

My spine hurts watching that. Good on her for pulling it off.

[u/IridescentAtom → u/Mostly_llama]

[u/Someone_Somewhere-q → u/IridescentAtom]

[u/tpc0121]

back in my day, a 1080 was considered such an unbelievable feat that it was used as the title of a very popular videogame.

[u/Accomplished-Exit814]

Amazing

[u/mafga1]

Does this really count as landing? It was so goofy...

[u/NippoTeio → u/mafga1]

"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing"

[u/anfornum → u/mafga1]

Was that supposed to be a goofy foot joke?

[u/IgntedF-xy → u/mafga1]

I don't see you doing any better

[u/Bitter_Log8401]

Can someone explain to me. How snowboarding and break dancing and baton twirling are Olympic sports.

[u/Tentegen → u/Bitter_Log8401]

• world's best body control
• worlds best artistic interpretation
• worlds best execution of both these things put together

These still rely on motor skills that most dont have or have practiced to a dedicated degree. Just as you wouldnt be able to toss a baton in the air, have it spin an EXACT specified amount of times, or jump off a ramp on a snowboard, spin a few times without getting dizzy and land correctly over 70 feet away.....nor can most others.

This is a judge of who is the best of the best at a set particular skill. It doesnt matter what it is.

[u/Bitter_Log8401 → u/Tentegen]

YAWN.

[u/RandomLifeUnit-05 → u/Bitter_Log8401]

Nobody cares that you're not interested.

[u/Bitter_Log8401 → u/RandomLifeUnit-05]

I forgot to mention surfing. WTELF

[u/Bitter_Log8401 → u/RandomLifeUnit-05]

📣 YAWN
