Swiss snowboarder Iouri Podladtchikov claims he hasn't had time to come up with another revolutionary new trick ahead of the Olympic halfpipe competition in Sochi.
Podladtchikov, otherwise known as 'I-Pod', stunned the snowboarding world last year when he produced the first ever cab double cork 1440, which he named the Yolo flip.
Such was the outlandishness of that trick that superstar Shaun White of the US was forced to learn it just to keep up.
