Go back twenty-five years in skiing and the 360 was just about the hardest trick anyone could throw. These days, it’s the entry point to jib skiing–meaning kids age six are pulling them off routinely. On the other side of that coin, in 1998, when ski-industry giant Salomon introduced the 1080–their first twin-tip ski–they were given that name because three spins (1080 degrees) was jib skiing’s Holy Grail, an impossible. Well, been there, done that. In 2011, Bobby Brown threw the world’s first Triple Cork 1440–which is four spins and three flips, and all off-axis.
