Triple Backflip! Takahiro Ishida flips out...

Snow might be conspicuous in its absence in the UK right now (though I’d honestly prefer it to the bleedin’ non-stop rain!) but over in Oregon it seems they’ve still got tons of the stuff. At least enough to build monster jumps of the sort that nutters like Takahiro Ishida here can try triple backflips off. This isn’t a world first. Or technically the trickiest trick. Or the best looking. But it’s still pretty damn impressive really isn’t it?
