While most of us have been trying to salvage some last turns in the slush and sunshine, the pros in Sweden have been getting it done. Each year the Jon Olsson Invitational (JOI) provides us with a measuring stick for the season to come- in the park world at least. This years JOI was no exception. A handful of new tricks were stomped, including a double cork seven, a trick that’s feasibility has long been debated. This video is truly amazing, and requires a couple views just to figure out what the hell some of the tricks were. In the end, Gus Kenworthy took the top spot on the podium, followed by Vincent Gagnier and Aleksander Aurdal.

Looks like ski aerials with baggy hoodies and poles.
there it goes
This looks like the shit from old N64 games like Tony Hawk, but actually real.
wow this shit sucks. snowboarders make spinning look good actually!
This is why skiers don’t like us….
Can someone explain to me why that cork dub 7 was such a groundbreaking trick? I’m not saying it’s not (it looks so smooth and clean), but what about the mechanics of the trick makes it so difficult compared to say a cork dub 12 which all the pros throw like its nothing? probably should be on NS asking this question but thought i’d throw it out there.
btw i’m talking about the trick by Frej at 2:02.
Your momentum is wrong
