Has a switch triple backflip happened yet?

Has anyone sent a switch triple backie yet? I remember Christian Bieri’s sw triple front attempts like 15 years ago, and Jesper stomping a sw triple front maybe 10 years ago. I also remember Rory Bushfield’s iconic sw double backflip back in ‘07 or so. Bushy attempted it at xgames big air too back in the day. But as I sit here pleasantly stoned this evening, I wonder in today’s skiing world of quads and 2160s, has the sw triple back happened yet? And so it came to be that I logged onto Newschoolers for the first time in years and posed this question. Thank you in advance for your replies. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Ah yeah, forgot about BMOS. I miss his skiing—he had that same crazy hucker mentality as the rest of the guys in this thread

I just find it hard to believe we had switch triple front attempts and a stomped sw double back 15 years ago, but still no sw triple back. Hopefully it’s out there and we find it. Otherwise, someone needs to be our savior and send it this winter

Alander had sw triple front flip and some other crazy dubs but no switch triple backie either

Is switch trip backie an NBD???https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1079257/Samuel-A--lander-SuperUnknown-XVIII-Finalist

Damn, he probably has the most casual sw double backie out there. On a bigger jump, I’m sure he’s got the sw triple backie if he wants it. I feel like Ålander is the man for the job.

We need to start a bounty for this trick. I got $100 to whomever does it first 😂

Scratch BC was one of the first skis I truly fell in love with. Was also the fattest ski I'd ever owned at the time lol. Blew the sidewall completely out at Breck back in the day when their park was awesome. I've always wanted to hop on a pair to see how they ski compared to all my modern shapes...

man they actually still rip. I nearly mounted them centre, so not what was intended with this shape haha. but they feel great!








this video was before I had my bindings adjusted correctly and they would pop off instantly if I didn't land perfectly.
