HORUS Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 i just watched the first part of the x-games. the first events were Skateboard Megaramp and Moto-X best trick, and it was amazing. for those who dont know, the Megaramp is an 80 foot ramp that you ride down on, then a smaller ramp that you air over a pit, onto another large ramp, and then fly off the top of a 30 foot ramp and do a trick. Jake Brown, one of the contestants, when he was going across the gap, did a backside 720 indy, but then when he went off the ramp at the end... he fell 50 feet onto his back. he is miraculously okay, and was able to walk after about 5 minutes. insane. anyone else see it?

The Slime Lord Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I didn't see it. Sounds cool though. They always do a lot of crazy things like that. 50 foot fall onto your back? Good thing he was wearing a helmet :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 lol yeah it was insane. i was very surprised that there was nothing wrong with him. he landed on the flat bottom of the ramp, after a 50 foot freefall. he should be dead, but he's not. and the thing is, he still got second, but only by 2 points.

Poc Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The plywood probably softened the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 yeah but still. 50 feet is a long way. and the whole time they were hyping up about this guy who came from nowhere who did a double backflip and he was supposed to do one for the x-games, but on his first attempt, he didnt land it and his engine was completely broken. i laughed. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Snowboarding and BMX is usually the only X games stuff I watch. But its pretty alright in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaaraofthesand617 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 :shock: wow that was insane i should watch more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Didn't his shoes like, explode or something? I saw it on ESPN, I thought I heard that his shoes blew up or exploded. Well, no duh. The X Games are a crazy competition for those who take risks and for those who try to be the best and most talented daredevil of extreme sports. Yeah, I wanted to watch it but I forgot. I'm going to watch it tonight and over the weekend, too. Winter and Summer, I always find some type of urge to watch it again and again and again, like the World Series Of Poker. Hey, I like poker and card games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 :shock: Jeez, that hurt just watching that. That is crazy. I liked how they showed him fall another 2 or 3 times afterwards. :lol: I also saw the video where Scott Murray's bike broke after missing the double backflip.

Wicket Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I MISSED IT AGAIN! :evil: Oh well, today I'm not doing anything, so I'll be able to see all of the crazy things people will do just to get attention and popularity by doing really stupid stuff that make people think it's not stupid when it really is and when they get hurt, will be completely embarassed and angry that they'll keep doing these stupidly insane stunts until they break too many bones in their body to X-Game. (If that's a right word to use as a verb.) "But no pressure. Have fun!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
