Double Cork In snowboarding Double Corks are a family of different aerial maneuvers in which the rider is upside down twice while in the air. Double Corks can be performed in a Half-pipe but also on jumps in terrain parks and backcountry terrain. The first person to ever perform a Double Cork was David Benedek from Germany who did a Frontside Double Cork 1260 during the 2006 Air&Style big-air competition in Munich.
Shaun white was the first snowbaorder to perform a Double-Cork in a Half-pipe. During the 2009-2010 season White learned several variations of the Double Cork in his private Half-pipe in Silverton, Colorado. White performed the tricks for the first time in a competition during the New Zealand Open, the first Half-pipe competition of the 09/10 season. The Double Cork than became a must have for all the athletes competing in the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.
Today there a plenty of snowboarders who can perform Double Corks. The trick had became a new standard for the professional athletes and is commonly considered as a trick that had elevated pro-snowboarding onto a higher level.
During the spring of 2010 Torstein Horgmo, when riding in Folgefonna, Norway has landed a Triple Cork on a big air jump. He had gone upside down three times while in the air. Until today he is the only athlete to perform this trick.
