Jason And he walked away. (And he hit his 720.) Unreal. -
clarkey I freaked out when I saw this on highlights this morning...I've never seen anything like that before.
I'm a guy who thinks skateboarding is the male equivalent of figure skating, so for me, falls like this are the only reason this sport exists.

louismg Wow. It blew his shoes off! -
Fear the Beard omg -
BigSmoke I love that his shoes fly off from the impact.
Considering the ramp is about 29 feet high, and the 'huckmeter' reads 16+ feet, thats about a 45 foot drop.
Jake Brown, Immortal

What Goes Up Must Come Down: Jake Brown’s X-Games 2007 Crash (Video)
Larry Brown Sports —
... Yes, and that man did walk away from the crash. Imposible! I’m not a huge X-Games guy, but if they keep these types of charades up, count me in. For the highlights at least. And by the way, that mega ramp is insane. That is exactly why they’re so effing dangerous.

X-Games Skateboarder Falls 50 Feet Straight Down Buy Walks Away

... : Jake Brown was attempting a 720-degree jump during ESPN's corporate-created X-Games. Although he made the clearance, trouble arose on the back end, when Jones went up in one direction, and his board went the other way. On the way down, Jones hit the ramp with such force that his shoes literally flew off his feet. Yet after a few motionless minutes, Jones was able to get up and walk away under his own power. Surprised by Brown's fortitude, an ESPN commentator noted, " I feel like I'm watching an episode of 'Heroes' ." We're sure the Disney overlords love the mention of an NBC show, when there are so many quality ABC programs ...

FanIQ Blog —
Shockingly, we've already entered this portion of the calendar. It's time to do that year in review sort of thing, so over the final days of 2007 we'll be looking back on the top sports events as highlighted by FanIQ. Since I'm hardly a wordsmith, you'll notice this amount to a video recap ...
We'll be rolling few several of this videos today seeing as how there's next to nothing to talk about. T-minus 6 hours until bowl game season resumes. I've never been so excited to see a mediocre Big Ten team and the MAC Champ square off.
Anyways, the X Games this summer featured on ...
