Whilst this came to light in May 2013 it was – in this writer’s opinion – one of the most underrated moments of the last 12 months. Maybe it was because the majority of the snowboard world was off tanning themselves in Bali?

Either way when, with typical Swiss precision, Sina Candrian sent a huge frontside 1080 on a gap jump at Snowpark Laax late last season it didn’t get nearly the “holy shit!” reaction I felt it deserved.

She also threw it in her run at the Olympics, making her the first to land it in competition. She might have finished 0.25 points away from the bronze medal spot, but it was still a monumental moment in women’s snowboarding.
