Flipping into History: The Insane 2340 Lands Twice at X Games

What do you get when you combine adrenaline, talent, and six and a half spins? History in the making! At the X Games in Aspen, 19-year-old Hiroto Ogiwara of Japan nailed the first-ever 2340 in a snowboarding competition. That’s 6.5 full rotations in the air before landing like a boss. His mind-blowing performance earned him a near-perfect score of 97.33—and, of course, a shiny gold medal.

But wait, the 2340 frenzy didn’t stop there. Just a day later, Italy’s 20-year-old Miro Tabanelli pulled off the same trick on skis in the Big Air event, scoring an even more jaw-dropping 98 and snagging his own gold.

Two athletes, two incredible feats, and one unforgettable weekend. The X Games just proved once again that gravity is optional when you’ve got skill like this!
