Last day riding for the season so thought I would send one for the boys!! Thanks to Red Bull and to Livigno sorting the wedge! #quadcork #1800 #seasondone
Posted by Billy Morgan on Wednesday, April 15, 2015
It took a long time for snowboarding to get to this point. It’s kind of like the people on My 600 lb life. How do they let themselves get to that point before deciding to go on TV to do something about it? But of course, in snowboarding it’s not really a problem. Ugly, yeah. Necessary, nah. But it’s actually kind of exciting and gives us something to talk about. You have to respect the level of spinning and hucking athleticism it required. And Billy Morgan couldn’t have done it alone.
People have been claiming the quad cork for years. But now that someone actually did it, we have to ask ourselves: has progression gone too far? Did any one really need to try a 1800 Quad cork? Are we as snowboarders, happy that Red Bull made it possible? We’re sure Billy is, because there’s no way he would have tried that shit if he didn’t want to (and have a little bit too much Red Bull in his system.) Was it worth all the views? Was it fun?
Anyway, hopefully this doesn’t become the standard cause no one wants to watch that shit, it looks gross. Hell, no one else even wants to try that shit, do they? McMorris, we’re looking at you…
Preston Strout handled this the best.
brb… going to rewatch the last few yawgoons edits
what the actual fuck
that was a sick triple twisty quadruple!!
damn, sweet mute grab too
Call toll free 1-800-QUAD
Doesn’t look any different from watching someone huck a backside double 10 mute twice. It’s impressive, but not even that exciting to watch this shit.
Seriously though it would be quite funny if it turns out halldor actually landed that quad attempt first
I WISH!
crazy to watch it happen, but we all know it’s just 4 cork 5’s off a single jump
Learn to add and/or multiply there Pat Sajak. 4 corks 5’s would be a quad 2160.
yeah but CAN HE CARVE COOL?
Noo idiot! We were supposed to skip the quad and go straight for 5! This isn’t enough progression!!!!!
I really hope this doesn’t catch on. 3 was enough
Most likely wouldn’t. This trick looks like luck, not from real practice.
people acting like they didn’t get excited… you know you stopped doing whatever shit you were doing and clicked this immediately.
fucking so gay. not even close to hesh. This makes triples look hesh. I am so angry. take this shit off
Haaaa go and ride your own snowboard instead of taking one dudes trick as a personal insult, it’s got fuck all to do with you
it’s good to finally see someone progressing our sport in the right direction. thank god for Red Bull
all you haters need to stop hating. thank god we have companies like monster and red bull to help push the progression of the sport to its extreme limits. imagine if there never was an x-games or dew tour, where would it be? you’re all losers.
True. We would’ve been labelled as a bunch of hippies with no lives. We would’ve still been banned from 99% resorts just like snow bikers. Him landing the quad cork will not affect the rail scene, pipe scene, backcountry scene, etc. I doubt this would even be introduced into slopestyle and big air for the next 1-3 years. This trick seems to be landed by pure luck. I doubt he would land on his feet again next season.
FUUUUUUUUUCK, that was gay
Can we seriously stop calling everything negative “gay.”
Seriously.
Gay Man spotted
RIP Snowboarding
1960- 2015
Beloved By Millions
Unfortunately Passed Away In The Arms Of Billy Morgan
stop being so dramatic
Shut the fuck up dude. Just because Billy Morgan landed something by luck, doesn’t mean the whole world will pile their snowboards up together into a mountain then burn it…
That actually sounds cool, shredding down a mountain of fire.
fuckin if only the thumbs up would work, 10/10 comment
In Sage we trust….
who the fuck is Billy Morgan?
He’s a gymnast kid who’s not terrible at rails but really excels at flipping in pretty sure he was the second person to do a triple flip (triple backside rodeo) he was in the Olympics for great Britain but he really is just a gymnast jumper , still 3 more corks than I can do
He’s pretty fucken shit on rails
god dammit
You know what would have been great? If no snowboarding website posted this, no one made a big deal of it and no one told him he progressed the sport. Leaving this guy Billy speechless like “what the fuck I just did a QUAD motherfucking cork! Someone props me!” Probably go up to people telling them he did a quad and they’ll be like “a quadriplegic? Was it Stephen Hawking? hahaha stfu guy no cares” Making him all pissed off till eventually he completely forgot he ever did one hopefully making him never do one again. Letting us all go back to our simple happy quad-less lives.
Keep in mind Yobeat is a but a small haven of hesh and core-ness in a big world of cork loving, x-games watching, red bull drinking bros who are getting hyped about this. Shit, even i’m a little hyped. Now I can make fun of my skiier friends cause no skiier has quadded yet
quadded isn’t a word
@admin Wow, we’re pretty fucking behind. We caught up to them 32 years later.
Well fuck me. This is way sicker than ski slopestyle
lol dude does it first try. btw his warm up before going into the jump could be the next black person dance.

You sound like the type of person who complains when they release the name of somebody who committed a school shooting. “Don’t glorify the person doing the action and people will stop doing it.” Sorry bud, that’s not the way the world works. Clicks=money.
Yeah this guy you’ve never met doing a trick on a jump has clearly ruined snowboarding for you forever, better go and burn your board

Dammit, I can’t figure out the internet. See SSX^ for the context.
Yobeat should never be speechless when writing about Spin to Win
Sorry, didn’t have time to deal with it earlier. Also, whatever, let the dude be stoked on his quintuple cork.
whatever
Yea, but how’s his switch method?
CAN’T FRONT ON THAT.
Oh my fuck…its happening…
Oh my fuck…its happening the death of snowboarding
No, it’s not. I’m very sure 98% of snowboarders around the world don’t even know this happened, and 80% of the world can’t even double. Just because the competition scene changed, doesn’t mean backcountry, street, carving, etc. will change. He landed a quad cork, so what? This might actually make snowboarding seem cooler to a skier. When Chris Cole landed a triple kick flip 720, did all skaters suddenly quit? No, they said “wow, that’s insane” and continued skating. Same thing will happen with snowboarding. Stop fucking assuming shit because someone landed something that seemed impossible.
So 20% of the world can double??
You must’ve been sucking cork during your statistics class
@Mid-E Whoops, typo. 90% can’t double. Yes, double corks/rodeos are pretty common. Think about the number of retired double corkers, pro pipe riders, local riders, comp riders, some street riders, crazy little kids, and up coming ams. We can statistically say that 90%, give 2-3% most can double. I’ve met random local riders in random resorts in the middle of europe or south America who are doing doubles for fun (mostly in the backcountry). They don’t want to be sponsored, that’s why you don’t see them too often. The doubles aren’t stylish, but they land them.
i had to google that chris cole triplefleip 720, i thought you meant he did a 720, with a tripleflip. No, he does a 720 flip. guy is such a kook. so good though. remmeber when you could see his transition from baggy pants skater to butt rocker in in bloom. that was too funny.
^
the like button doesn’t work so i wanted to let you know I liked your comment. What happened to train wreck tho? my vhs player ate my in bloom right on tony t’s part to. RIP.
Sorry about the like/dislike feature. It’s not agreeing with the new server but we’re working on it.
@spf 30 Haha, true. The guy is so good but he’s seems so desperate now. He even came out in the fucking Jaden Smith music video. wtf lol.
Everyone is a bunch of cork suckers
Alex Andrews looks like Stewie Griffen
#banbillymorganfromsnowboarding
Ben Morgan longboards in the summer
why the fuck is anyone surprised by this? it is an impressive feat of gymnastics no-one can deny but outside of that who gives a shit. give him an energydrink sponsorship and send him to the olympics and we can all go back to watching pow edits and yawgoons
the infamous triple twisty quadruple!
Oh for cryin out loud..
He looks like he fell out of a helicopter and somehow landed on his feet..
At some point you have to wonder… have we just simply gone to far..
Im going to go watch Simple Pleasures on VHS and reconnect
So I am on the fence about all this. Someone asked me yesterday what I thought and I originally said, yuck that is just gross and looks like aerial skiing. He then said, well what do you think will be next for contests then if this isn’t it?
I wasn’t sure what to say but it made me realize that the slopestyle contests that we know today may be hitting a limit as to what tricks are possible. If the Quad cork is the answer to the next wave of tricks, then I think the contest itself needs to change or the future of Snowboarding is in real jeopordy.
No one will want to get into it cause no one wants to do that trick. It happened in moto when people started doing backflips. The contest side of moto kinda fell off the map. Or at least to me it did. The same 3 people won all the contests. So if the Quad cork is what will win contests then like 3 people will win everything. Its kinda happening now with slopestyle. If you can’t do triples, then you have no shot. So if this is the face of snowboarding, then 3 people will be famous and no one else. And there will be no style so it will look just like ariel skiing. Then people will be training into swimming pools. Oh wait they do that now into airbags.
Bottom line is something needs to change and everyone is to scared to change it. Travis Rice tried to change it with his contest at bald face, but that didn’t really work for some reason. I thought is was sick though.
So the question “whats next” I think is more about the future of snowboarding and contests vs the 1 trick.
Lets fix snowboarding
This guy must work in the industry.
it’s funny you brought up travis rice considering he was the first person to try the triple………….contests have always been spin to win and grab mute, people have been saying weve reached our limits since someone did the first 1080, which now is childs play, i completely understand style in snowboarding, but how can we judge contest with just a bunch of people doing back 180’s and steez front boards, obviously all us can back one, but none of us can quad , its a whole new level of balls and skill, and i guarantee by x games next year there i wll be a quad cork 2160 and a triple will happen in the pipe. think about how boring everything would be if it was just all 180’s and 360’s and nothing harder , it looks good some people have better style than others but moral of the story is everyone can back one
I’d rather see Halldor go for it and land on his head. but rage at the bar later.
Great News! I went snowboarding today. It did not appear to be dead.
Sort your stuff out Brooke, I’ve got a lot of red thumbs to hand out here.
who the hell is Billy Morgan? never even heard of the guy..
This guy lives a pretty lame life as far as a “professional” snowboarder goes. The only time you ever hear about him is when he’s hucking meat. The only reason I vaguely knew him before this is because of that stupid triple rodeo he did a while back where you questioned how it was possible that such a jerry looking mother fucker could do such a thing. I don’t think it was a matter of “oh I’m feeling a quad cork” it was more “I have nothing else going for me and now that people are doing triples regularly I need to do this or I’m gonna fall off real fast”. I look forward to watching you get worked trying to do this at xgames big air on a jump no where big enough for it to be possible. you’re in your own shit league Billy Morgan and I don’t think anyone wants to join you
Did someone say quintuple cork?
I love all the ‘lucky’ comments on here. Bitches, please. You don’t land a bs quad 1800 first try with luck. You do it by being a crazy gymnast with a couple of triples on lock and enough time to kill in the air to add another one.
