A 21-year-old Japanese snowboarder, Kokomo Murase, just landed a backside triple cork 1620. She’s the first woman ever to do it.


Kokomo Murase, a 21-year-old Japanese snowboarder, achieved a historic first by landing a backside triple cork 1620—a four-and-a-half inverted spin totaling 1620 degrees—at the recent X Games, as captured in the post's slow-motion video showing her precise launch, rotations, and clean landing.

This maneuver demands near-perfect timing and massive air height, evolving from double corks introduced in the early 2010s; no woman had previously attempted or landed a triple, highlighting accelerating innovation in women's big air snowboarding.

Murase's feat builds on her early career, including a 2018 X Games appearance at age 14, and reflects broader physics principles like conserved angular momentum that enable such extreme rotations without board slip.
