Kimmy Fasani lands double backflip

Oh, the backcountry. How we love you. Nothing like the ability to huck yourself and stomp a trick that would otherwise scare the living shit out of you. Massive landings, soft powder, and a perfect take-off is a recipe for one damn good day with your friends.

DC rider Kimmy Fasani got her backcountry moment last week in Colorado after she found the perfect jump, charged it, and went for a double backy; turning "a long-term goal into reality" and became arguably the first female ever to land one.

Riding with the guys will do that to you; adrenaline, motivation, and people charging all around you will inevitably cause you push yourself more than you ever have and attempt ballsy stunts such as double backflips. Congrats to Kimmy for being one bad ass chick.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
