World's first snowboarding triple cork nailed by Torstein Horgmo!

Amazing snowboarding video of Torstein Horgmo nailing the world's first "triple cork" jump at this year's X Games at Aspen, Colorado, and earning him huge legions of fans.

It won Torstein Horgmo a gold medal at the event (surprisingly enough), and just to make it even more exciting, he pulled off the stunt on his final run of the big-air event.

"It's probably the stupidest thing I've done in my whole life," Horgmo said. "It didn't feel right doing it. I don't think the jump was right for that trick."
