In times of 1440s and triple corks, the good old 540 is … hang on, this is almost exactly what Burton say about this video! Here you go:

In the world of 1260s and triple corks, 540s are easily overlooked these days. While a slow, stylish frontside 540 isn’t as technically hard as spinning your face off, it is much harder to make look good. Here are a bunch of 540s from Mikkel Bang, Mikey Rencz, Jussi Oksanen, John Jackson, Danny Davis, Mark Sollors, Kimmy Fasani, Marko Grilc, and Enni Rukajarvi that you won’t be forgetting any time soon.

Featuring Iikka Backstrom, Mikey Rencz, Benji Ritchie,Kevin Griffin, Jody Wachniak, Eero Niemela, Devun Walsh, Dustin Craven, Andrew Geeves, Johnny Lyall, Jussi Oksanen,Mikkel Bang, Mark Sollors, Logan Haubrich and Kale Stephens.

1. Jussi Oksanen in Jackson, Sollors, Bang, Oksanen & Rencz Shred Whistler Deep Days

According to our photo editor, Jussi has been licking his face after a pow shot ever since he has been 10 years old. He’s still at it, as he is at shredding the backcountry like no other. Watch the full clip, it’s full of BC hammers!

2. Marc Swoboda in Lovelution IV FULL PART

Not only is Marc Swoboda one of the best European jibbers around, this trick was also shot during our inaugural Onboard Send-Off Session at Kitzsteinhorn. It will return this spring, so keep your eyes peeled on more smackbanging park action.

3. Ursina Haller in Protest Jokers – Mogul Madness

Yeah, we kind of had to post this as a GIF. Ursina Haller loses a mogul race and gets sprayed while stripped down to a bikini.

Watch John Jackson, Mark Sollors, Mikkel Bang, Jussi Oksanen and Mikey Rencz rip up super deep conditions in Whistler’s backcountry.

It snowed a lot in Whistler last year. So much in fact that it limited where Jussi Oksanen, John Jackson, Mikey Rencz, Mark Sollors, and Mikkel Bang could even go to film. So they stayed in the trees. Button up your jacket, pull your hat down over your ears and grab a hot cocoa because Part 2 of Whistler Deep Days will give you chills.

This edit has more corking than a winery. Here are a bunch of backside double corks from the likes of Mikkel Bang, Mark McMorris, Shaun White, Seppe Smits, Mikey Ciccarelli, Jussi Oksanen, and Mikey Rencz.

1. Scott Stevens in Bode-Man and Sleepy do a few laps at Brighton

Scotty Stevens is your man for absurd flat tricks on a snowboard. Here he goes again. We call this a switch boneless to front lip 270 off, but we’re not sure, either.

2. Ethan Morgan and Mario Kaeppeli in EthanVsMario

We’re not sure what goes on in the brains of these two jokers, but their new web show ethanVSmario is pretty entertaining. We took the gif from their first video, but the second (which we linked to) even contains some actual snowboarding.

3. Jussi Oksanen in Frontside Double Corks from the Burton Team

According to our photo ed Jussi Oksanen is the most stylish snowboarder that ever lived. We find it hard to disagree with this sentiment after watching him put down this fine front double with such effortlessness. We could look at this all day.

ZEAL Optics announced today that they are proud to now call snowboarding’s legendary Jussi Oksanen one of their own.  Jussi joins fellow pro snowboarders Kimmy Fasani and Austen Sweetin on the ZEAL winter team.

“We are stoked to have Jussi join the team,” said director of marketing Joe Prebich.  “Besides being one of the most progressive snowboarders I know, he is a great person and a perfect fit for the ZEAL family.”

Jussi has been pushing the progression of snowboarding since 1989 when he started snowboarding as a child.  An Olympian and 11-time Winter X Games participant, he has been a fierce competitor, but his true passion is the backcountry.  With a seemingly endless list of video parts, Jussi continues to show us all his passion for the sport.  Currently a resident of Encinitas, CA, Jussi spends his time in the water surfing and playing with his kids when he isn’t on the mountain. 

“I really like where the brand is headed. It’s always nice to be part of something fresh from the beginning and help the brand grow,” said Jussi Oksanen. “ZEAL has that small company vibe, which I really like and of course, the product is amazing.”

Jussi will be sporting the new ZEAL HD Camera Goggle this winter. 

Though we have to say Mark McMorris’ ‘dubs’ look  more like good old fashioned corked frontside spins to us, there’s a whole bunch of eye-popping double dipping in this edit from Burton, from dudes like Shaun White, Jussi Oksanen, John Jackson, Mikey Rencz and more. More corks than a winery…

These days it seems like everybody and their little brother can double cork, but doing them so they look good is like doing a whole other trick. Here are a bunch of frontside double corks from Mark McMorris, John Jackson, Roope Tonteri, Christian Haller, Danny Davis, Shaun White, Jussi Oksanen, Mikkel Bang, and Mikey Rencz. Enough corks to make your head spin.

Check out a whole bunch of frontside-rotating 900-degree spins from the likes of Mark McMorris, Danny Davis and Jussi Oksanen. 

There really isn’t much to say about this other than, “Here are a bunch of frontside 9s from Mark McMorris, Mikey Rencz, Danny Davis, Marko Grilc, Mikkel Bang, Mark Sollors, Seppe Smits, Roope Tonteri, and Jussi Oksanen.” Even with 1080s and beyond being pretty standard, the frontside 9 is still one of the most technical tricks, can’t spin too fast or too slow… just right. Which one was your favorite?
