]]> This is Pat Burgener. Pat is 16 years-old and lives in Switzerland. He’s some kind of snowboarding prodigy.

This video is of a session that he had last week. Frustrated by the poor spring conditions, he spent the day reshaping one of the jumps in the park and then sessioning it. In five hours he learned three new tricks–including a switch backside cork 1440. He is the first person in history to have landed one.

I still can’t even stick a 720. Good work Pat.
