VIDEO: First Ever Backflip Pond Crossing

Pond skim backflip by Riders-Match

In 2014, Ben Paciotti became the first person to ever successfully complete a 360º pond crossing at the Cushing Crossing at Squaw Valley, USA.

In 2015, a skier successfully completed a backflip pond crossing at the Alyeska pond crossing.  

It does make us wonder what’s next?  Rodeo flip pond crossing?  720º pond crossing?

Pond crossings very well may likely take on a life of their own and start catering to tricks and build better jumps as this one in Alyeska had.  We’ll see.
