This is the first 'quad cork 1800' the world ever seen and it is incredible

Billy Morgan’s head must still be spinning.

TEAM GB OLYMPIAN Billy Morgan on Thursday made the world’s head spin as he became the first person to land a back side quadruple corkscrew, spinning 1800 degrees between the ramp and the ground.

The ‘quad cork 1800′ involves five rotations during four off-axis flips and the Southampton-born Morgan pulled it off at an event in Livigno, Italy.

Speaking to the Red Bull website, Morgan reacted as only snowboarders can:

“So stoked. I’ve been thinking about this for so long. It’s such a relief to have it done.”

“It could have been cleaner,” he said in reference to his hand touching the snow on landing, “but I’m still pumped!”
