 Way to go Martin! But how many different slopestyle events have there been this weekend? Seems they should be more spread apart for better competition.

 Triple whip? holy eff!

 my thoughts exactly.. Seeing as how his double whips were dialed, I assume he landed this one just a buttery smooth.

 i just searched the video again, and no he didn't make the pedals. it even admits it right in the description, which is a classy move. A lot of people would've cut the landing from the vid and made the claim, like that double or triple front flip vid a while back...

 i recall a video but i dont really feel like looking it up. but martin landed a triple whip at Masters of Dirt in Vienna. he basically got no credit for it (it seemed like anyways)

 It's also amazing how Martin can pull those triples on regular (though big) doubles, while other riders need mega ramps to land them.

 I was there and the guy who attempted the double back flip deserves huge credit. Also no hand front flip.

 Great festival. Some great riding in the slope style. Stayed on there until Tuesday great place to ride. Bit off subject but it was my first visit to Germany and Winterberg. Probably on of the most friendly places I've been. If anyone is reading thanks to all involved for a great festival.
