1/1-in triple back ?? on snowboard

Torstein Horgmo … is a Norwegian pro snowboarder. …

In the Winter X Games XV Finals Torstein landed the first Triple cork in competition in the Big Air Final on January 28, 2011 …

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

A triple cork is “three off axis flips before coming back in contact with the ground”.

Looks similar to a 1/1-in triple, to me.

Geoffrey Taucer calls it more as a 1/2 in triple back.

… The one thing we can all agree on is that he does 3 “flips” around the transverse axis.

Apparently the only voting in that event is by spectators texting.
