THE BIGGEST TRIPLE BACKFLIP ON SKIS?

Each and every summer, the One Hit Wonder Down Under Big Air in Thredbo, Australia tends to outdo itself. This year's installment of the insanity was no exception, with the biggest jump ever constructed in the Southern Hemisphere, measuring at 125 feet from takeoff to the sweet spot of the landing. But amidst the sea of silky smooth double and triple corks that were being tossed, Sam Baumgartner opted to throw it back for the crowd, by laying out an absolutely massive triple backflip. And it's possible, although not confirmed, that it may just be the biggest one ever. See for yourself in his enjoyable edit from the event, which in another throwback, contains some Super 8 film.
