Occasionally, athletes show us things we struggle to believe are possible, and this time it’s an 18-year-old Swiss freeskier who has our mouths agape in disbelief.
Andri Ragettli enjoys pulling off tricks on a pair of skis, and recently decided he was going to try to become the first skier to complete a quad cork 1800 (you know the one).
The trick involves five rotations while flipping four times off axis – here’s how it went.
Ragettli completed the trick at the Suzuki Nine Royals, an event where some of the best freeskiers and snowboarders come together for photos and filming, in a week that demonstrates their talents to the world.
Pretty impressive stuff? The public thought so.
@Andriragettli @NineKnights this is amazing!

Yeah – “wow” was pretty much our thoughts as well.
