Did I just see what I think I saw?




But on a more serious note, Dave Treadway is fucked!

Same here. It doesn't look like a triple the first time, because you assume it's just the first shot continued from a different angle.. but his ski position is different/other stuff.

It might even be two different doubles thrown together...

conspiracy?

same use the grab as a reference tho. he lets go of the mute after the first so it is a triple not 12 or 16???

Yeah, that's why I'm confused.

I'm not saying I don't believe Tom can/has triple(d), but idk. It looks like two different doubles.. or a triple..

tammy whalefish has indeed tripled
the cut is right as he's releasing the grab after the first flip, after the cut you can see him moving his hand away from the ski and uncrossing his skis

'Cause he didn't land, he hip checked, got up, skied out. Still insanity.

It's the cut that confuses the whole trick. Could be two different dub cork edited to make you doubt if that last cork is the dub or the trip. But after seeing thousands of ski videos/ movies, I realize that they don't cheat often, especially in professional productions.

Yeah, that's not a triple. When it cuts away from the first shot he is grabbing mute, and when it cuts away he is no longer grabbing mute. So unless they left out a fraction of a second where he let go of the mute, it's two doubles pasted together.

Im not? Do you know how well wallisch grabs his switch dub 10's or did you miss dew tour big air? That 2nd shot was barley grabbed. Why would they use that shitty switch dub 10, when he easily could grab blunt/japan with it and hold for the duration of the flip.

Its a triple 1620 mute.

so niether of the shots in that ad are a triple rotation? since he takes off forward in shot one, lands switch shot 2 meaning it couldnt be a switch triple 12 since he would land forward, correct?

This is what I thought when I first saw it yesterday. But after taking a fresh look at it, I think it's a triple 16. Look at the hand position of the grabbing hand after the cut. It is in the same place.

It should be illegal to land a massive cliff on your side and ride away.

that took me so long to figure out what was going on...they should have had it in one single shot. the transition from each cork makes it just look like a dub. but after playing and pausing it it looks so ill!!

That was sick, but at the same time very confusing...
I don't understand how someone can land sideways on such a huge cliff and still ride away....

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure this is correct.

He's in the same position when they cut it but he is suddenly not grabbing his skis and rotating a bit differently

pretty sure it was just a dub 12 with a couple shots put together, but that frontflip was so much sicker

well argue all you like, that shot may or may not be of a triple but he did do one on that jump.

In Tom Wallisch's world, triples are simple.

My co workers were there at the session.. He defenetly landed his first triple in whis. I heard he was as how it feels to be apart of the triple club and his response was "feels like anyother club, expensive".

I feel like if people wanted to make a dope advertisement with Tom in it, they wouldn't use of shot of a double with a landing he didn't stomp the shit out of.

this! hes nearly at the nuckle when he completes the first cork. and he wouldnt grab a high mute for a triple. and if it should be a tripple, its definitely not a 12 for how hard he sets the spin rather than flip.

Why the fuck is it a big deal? If he tripled, then he did and if he didn't. Then he didn't

Treadway is fucking sick, and Tom's shot is the start of him doing a dub 12, but the second shot is of a different dub 12 where he missed the grab

i doubt this. how often do you see shots of tom (especially in a commercial) where he misses grabs? I bet they included it because it was a triple

not a triple, 2 different shots. 1st shot he grabs at beginning and second shot he just starts the grab

First shot is a double cork 10, cut into a switch triple cork 14 safety.  Not a great cut and a little deceptive, wasn't my call, haha. Hope that helps!

Great little edit from TGR by the way

But really, this had me fooled. Still dope though. Definitely hoping they put the full video of the SW triple.
