Now that takes some commitment. And Eli Bouchard was certainly dedicated to the task of throwing a double backflip. He and his family waited for the right day as the young snowboarder from Quebec wanted a padded-out, powder day to build the right kicker so as he was attempting the double, it wouldn’t hurt as much when he ate it. But he makes it look pretty good, even when he doesn’t make it, before landing a pretty nasty one with pretty sick style, too. It’s kind of a hard one to quantify but sounds as if Eli’s the youngest ever to complete two rotations? Regardless, kid’s a shredder.
