13 Year Old Marcus Kleveland Nails Triple Cork
The 13-year-old Norwegian snowboard talent, Marcus Kleveland, becomes the youngest athlete by far to accomplish a triple cork.
Not more than three years ago the first triple cork in history was landed by Torstein Horgmo (NOR). And now a 13-year-old kid from Dombås, Norway has accomplished the most progressive trick ever done within snowboarding.
Marcus, a snowboarder since the age of 3, has completed double corks since he was 11 years old. But last fall and this winter, the triple has been his main focus on the trampoline.
-I was inspired when I saw Torstein Horgmo landed the triple cork for the first time three years ago, says Marcus. -Since then I have wanted to try it, and the first time I dared to try was at the Red Bull Performance Camp in Sun Valley last year. But the jump there was too small, and I landed on ice. Now everything was perfect, though.
The youngster grew up a stones throw from the slopes in his hometown of Dombås, and his parents never had to chase him out to practice: –This is something I do for myself, because I think it’s fun. Nobody is pushing me to do this, says the first year teenager, while his family is sitting nearby in the sun, enjoying themselves with their favorite entertainment.

I remember seeing an edit of Marcus a couple of years ago and I had to ask my Norwegian friends who this was from that was so sick. I’m stoked to see him progressing at such a fast rate but having fun doing it at the same time. I hope to see this kid around for years to come!
dang..super styley too…couldn’t hate even if i wanted to…
Well if he hasn’t touched a boob yet, he will now….
Someone tell that kid snowboarding is over!!! And get him a tall tee while you’re at it.
why all the hate? look deep in your sking soul, you know that surf/skate has given so much to sking it has made it cool again. Or do want to go back to the sking of the 80s?
skiing of the 80s! skiing of the 80s!
They’re just mad that spins look so much better on snowboards. That and we don’t count jumps where we land on our backs..
Thank You!
-perfectly said-
just goes to show how easy snowboarding is.
plus he probably had like 7 redbulls before dropping in.
Wow…that kid stomped the crap out of the triple cork…very impressive and I know you will be hearing his name in the future cause he kills it and has a bright future as a professional snowboarder…:-)
Now do it without doing a triple wobble. As in, do it proper. And don’t claim so hard.
dude your actually an idiot i wanna see you huck that kicker and see what happens
song?
Shazaam?
Is this really a surprise to anyone, have you seen skate boarding lately, the younger the easier. Get use to this, magical trampolines and foam pits…gymnastics and little kids being the best at it, is nothing new
oh to be young
You can tell its a triple cork by the way that it is
Lol as if there’s a place in norway called dumbass
haha, dude, there is… I grew up there, the rest is history
Mad propz to the mini-shredder that stomps a triple cork, but I wonder if he’ll do it when he’s ten years older (23)? Olympic gymnasts retire at 18.
I did my first 180 today
Honestly, after watching this in slow mo the trick looks nothing more than a 1080. He really doesn’t go upside down at any point. Its a great trick, especially for a 13 year old but not all that impressive at the end of the day when compared to pros like shaun white.
too bad shaun has never landed anything close to that yet, or that first dub with japan.. for that sake.. Hoooly what a tweak.
So glad snowboarding, and skiing/skate/surf is not defined by the most tech tricks, but about all the other things that shaun seemingly forgets most of the time. Marcus on the other hand does the sickest 7´s, shreds rails for fun, and hangs out with his buddies.
- He is just a thirteen y.o. kid being stoked on the fact that he just has landed something people barely could comprehend two/three years back. BTW, its Field Productions who filmed this, for RedBull.
Oh to be young and parent funded….
Some athletes will never be sought out, due to financial constraints.
