Here it goes. If the progression of snowboarding and the insane tricks that go along with it weren't mind blowing enough - now the pros are getting after it switch. Guess we should have seen this coming. Joke's on us. Iouri Podlatchikov just released a video of him landing a switch backside double cork 1260 or in easier terms, a switch double Mctwist, being the first rider to document doing so.
Looks like this halfpipe pro is hell bent on stepping up his game this next year. Shaun White better stop making razor scooters and chewing gum and start paying attention. Don't believe us? Proof below:

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.
