TEAM GB OLYMPIAN Billy Morgan on Thursday made the world’s head spin as he became the first person to land a back side quadruple corkscrew, spinning 1800 degrees between the ramp and the ground.
The ‘quad cork 1800′ involves five rotations during four off-axis flips and the Southampton-born Morgan pulled it off at an event in Livigno, Italy.

Too fast? Here’s the YouTube clip complete with super slow-mo footage.
Speaking to the Red Bull website, Morgan reacted as only snowboarders can:
“So stoked. I’ve been thinking about this for so long. It’s such a relief to have it done.”
“It could have been cleaner,” he said in reference to his hand touching the snow on landing, “but I’m still pumped!”
