Mark McMorris Joins Triple Club

Mark McMorris just joined Torstein Horgmo as the second guy to do a triple cork. Following thier one-two-finish in this season’s Winter Dew Tour snowboard slope discipline, Mark and Torstein are definitely leading the progression this winter. Mark’s was the first-ever backside triple cork 1440, and he landed it last week in Snowmass at the Transworld Park Session.

Just last month Mark told Alli in a Catching Up interview:

“Maybe I’ll do a triple cork sometime, maybe in the spring. It all  depends on the jump. But I don’t see the sport going that way for the next few years. I don’t think it needs to come to that yet. The jumps just aren’t safe enough or big enough.”

It’s not even spring yet, and he’s already tried and landed the trick, so check out the footage:
