Watch Torah Bright Attempt a Double Cork

Rumors have been abounding that Torah Bright has been working on a double cork. We even heard that Torah was trying one in X-Games practice when she fell and hit her head leading to her withdrawal from the competition. Certainly if she landed one in any halfpipe competition, Bright would be extremely hard to beat.

TTR has just posted this video of Bright trying a double crippler while in New Zealand last year. She doesn't land it...but she sure looks close.

Does Torah Bright Have a Double Cork?

The New York Times has an article today about Torah Bright and her Olympic aspirations. She placed 5th in the 2006 Turin Olympics.

One of the most interesting parts of the article is about Torah working on a double cork for her pipe runs. The double cork has become the must-have trick this season. That a woman might be breaking one out would be a huge sign in the progression of women's snowboarding - and certainly set Tora Bright, who has long been known for her technical tricks, apart from the other women riders.

We'll be eagerly watching X-Games this week to see if she breaks it out before the Olympics.
