Where are we headed with snowboarding?

The longer we snowboard the better we get. That's a general rule of thumb and it is definitely true when it comes to progression in snowboarding. I know that when X-Games comes, every professional snowboarder throws insane tricks to win the competition and gain respect, and every year new, better and faster tricks come to daylight.

When I think about it, it wasn't too long ago when snowboarders were mind-blown, when someone pulled off a 1080. Progressing past that point seemed totally impossible! but as years passed better and better tricks eventually came up. Let's me present you with a short video of this Norwegian 13-year old snowboarder.

A Triple Cork done by a 13-year old. WHAT?!?!? How is this even possible. In 2008 Travis Rice was the first man on earth to perform a double cork, and that seemed like the peak of progression. Then in 2011 Torstein Horgmo did a Triple Cork. It spins so many times so fast, that my I get dizzy just from watching it. Now in 2013 this 13-year old fellow does the same trick as Torstein, who was in his mid 20s when performed the trick (as well as Travis) . Keep in mind that this isn't a small jump, but a massive 75 foot kicker that sends you flying into heavens.

Since now we have youngsters doing tricks like that, who can predict what will come next and how far will the progression go? Imagine this man in 6 years and the things he'll be doing then. I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Anyways, keep it safe, keep progressing and keep on shredding.
