Horgmo made history when he became the first to land a triple cork in May 2010. He went on to win gold in WX 2011 Big Air with a triple backflip 180, the first triple landed in competition. The 24-year-old is a favorite to win WX '12 Slopestyle because he has an arsenal of double corks, including a frontside, Cab and a backside 1260 double cork. To top it off, his rail tricks are some of the best in the business. Off a 2nd place at the Beijing Air & Style in December '11, the progressive Horgmo has the potential to medal in both Big Air and Slopestyle at WX '12.
