So Vincent Gagnier just did a switch cork 3 with that crazy signature pretzel in a the Frostgun Big Air comp!

And judges definitely knew what was up as he got a 94,33.

Vinny CA$H for prez.

Video is on the facebook page in the link.

I've been trying to see this since the comp but all the videos keep getting deleted.

I hate to say this but this trick is going to get stale by next year, mark my words.

With big air becoming an Olympic sport and Vinnie winning 2 big air comps with this trick its only a matter of time before everyone abandons throwing dubs and just follows his lead.

Well I mean the same logic would apply to everyone doing the same old triples but with different grabs.

You have to remember, that path was already followed in Aerials, and that sport stagnated to what it is today.

So at least we're seeing other types of tricks getting scored higher, and perhaps what we'll see is some guys go the route of super clean big spins/flips and some guys go the route of all manners of wacky low spin/rotation hardness.

We'd get diversity back into competition skiing and bam if you ask me sport saved.
