 Torstein Horgmo, a 26yr old from Oslo, Norway made history when he landed the first triple cork in May 2010. He continued picking up speed when he won gold in WX 2011 Big Air with a triple backflip 180 (first triple landed in competition). Besides Horgmo's versatile style and laundry list of win's, he's also been making music. Check Out Torstein's SoundCloud Here.
