Billy Morgan Actually Lands an 1800 Quad Cork

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

  2. basshole

    what the actual fuck

  3. STEVE THE CAT

    damn, sweet mute grab too

  4. The Corporate Catfish

    Call toll free 1-800-QUAD

  5. Lil 'bud'dha

    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.

  6. Lil 'bud'dha

    Seriously though it would be quite funny if it turns out halldor actually landed that quad attempt first

  7. bleu gerard

    crazy to watch it happen, but we all know it’s just 4 cork 5’s off a single jump

  8. LizardTail

    I WISH!

  9. broseph stalin

    yeah but CAN HE CARVE COOL?

  10. bert

    Noo idiot! We were supposed to skip the quad and go straight for 5! This isn’t enough progression!!!!!

  11. Dos Cadenas

    I really hope this doesn’t catch on. 3 was enough

  12. Chongo

    people acting like they didn’t get excited… you know you stopped doing whatever shit you were doing and clicked this immediately.

  13. Puff The Magic Dragon

    fucking so gay. not even close to hesh. This makes triples look hesh. I am so angry. take this shit off

  14. Dabz95

    it’s good to finally see someone progressing our sport in the right direction. thank god for Red Bull

  15. tina

    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.

  16. Tom

    FUUUUUUUUUCK, that was gay

    RIP Snowboarding

    Beloved By Millions
    Unfortunately Passed Away In The Arms Of Billy Morgan

  18. Gonzo

    In Sage we trust….

  19. Seriously Though

    who the fuck is Billy Morgan?

  20. basshole

    stop being so dramatic

  21. Steve the cat

    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

  22. Torstein

    god dammit

  23. Honyos

    He’s pretty fucken shit on rails

  24. howyadoin

    Why would it be funny? Dude competes at the X Games every year. People need to stop pretending that guy isn’t a contest rider.

  25. ssx

    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.

  26. Trillbo Swaggins

    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

  27. CNN

    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.

    Dammit, I can’t figure out the internet. See SSX^ for the context.

  30. Yobeat should never be speechless when writing about Spin to Win

  31. dick sock

    whatever

  32. Meetch

    Yea, but how’s his switch method?

  33. TROOF

    CAN’T FRONT ON THAT.

  34. Oh my fuck…its happening…

  35. Oh my fuck…its happening the death of snowboarding

  36. funner

    quadded isn’t a word

  37. Sorry, didn’t have time to deal with it earlier. Also, whatever, let the dude be stoked on his quintuple cork.

  38. green gerard

    @admin Wow, we’re pretty fucking behind. We caught up to them 32 years later.

  39. green gerard

    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.

  40. green gerard

    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.

  41. green gerard

    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.

  42. green gerard

    Most likely wouldn’t. This trick looks like luck, not from real practice.

  43. French judge

    5/10

  44. Mid-E

    So 20% of the world can double??

    You must’ve been sucking cork during your statistics class

  45. Mid-E

    Everyone is a bunch of cork suckers

    Alex Andrews looks like Stewie Griffen

  46. squares

    fuckin if only the thumbs up would work, 10/10 comment
