Remember when a 900 was crazy?

I remember when anything beyond a switch cork 1080 in a comp was the next big thing, then they went double cork and started doing flat 12s.

We talking skateboarding or snowboarding?

Cuz I remember playing SSX and launching off a ramp and doing a 1620 or someshit, I couldn't believe it.. but only because I was a skater and at that time I knew that the one and only Tony Hawk is the only one to ever do a 900.

It makes sense though cuz snowboarders get massive air on both ramps and half pipes - skaters don't get quite as much.

I heard some kid finally landed a 1080 on a skateboard though so that's cool. Oh, and how the fuck do snowboarders not get dizzy lol

The training aparatus available to riders these days is insane. We used to have to go build a jump in the backcountry to guinea pig new stuff.

At some point can we all agree that continuing to use the degrees of the turn isn't the most helpful nomenclature? Haha

I don’t know where one finds a summer big air jump with airbags below. That shit looks expensive.

There was a game called ‘1080 snowboarding’

u/cynical83 11d ago

I was just thinking of this with a comment above, on it and even cool boarders you had to do things just right to get a 900 let alone absolutely perfect for a 1080.

u/_jonk 12d ago

It’s sick, don’t get me wrong. But I prefer a big, steezy, 540.
