BillyVance 35 #1 August 3, 2007 These skateboarders have big balls. I caught the end of the X-games show on ESPN last night, just the winning jump, and noticed another skater getting wheeled out, but never saw what happened to him, until I saw the youtube video. Holy fucking shit batman, that HAD to hurt! Sooo.... quotes anyone? he did have the foresight to stop flailing and turn towards his back for impact. Watch the whole video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBvCrSjpx9I&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsports%2Eaol%2Ecom%2Ffanhouse%2F2007%2F08%2F03%2Fx%2Dgames%2Djake%2Dbrown%2Dfalls%2D50%2Dfeet%2F"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchYourStep 0 #2 August 3, 2007 I was watching that last night. If he would of completed the 540 he would have won hands down considering he hit the 720 across the big jump. I thought he was dead or injured for sure. It knocked his shoes clean off. I still can't believe they allowed him to walk off the ramp.

He lost his board just as soon as he went above the top of the vertical ramp. I don't know anything about ramp skating, but I figure you're supposed to get a hand on the board to keep it there. I noticed on the big jump they didn't, and I can't believe the board didn't just fly away! What, is there velcro on the bottom of their shoes???

WatchYourStep 0 #4 August 3, 2007 It's all inertia or something like that. He held it for the 720 but Bob didn't hold it for the backside 180 which was amazing!!!
