X-Games: Jake Brown's Legendary Wipeout

My God...

I don't know if anyone is watching the X-Games right now but Jake Brown just had the worst wipeout I've ever seen in the Games. It was on the Big Air competition (skateboarding). After hitting the quarter-pipe ramp, he launched a good 15-20 feet off the lip (which is on top of the 20 or so feet from the ground that the ramp actually takes to get to the top) bailed out during a trick and landed flat on the ground, on his back. It was so bad that they had roll to commercial, while he was lying on the ground and the paramedics were checking him out. How he didn't DIE, from a fall like that, is simply Amazing.

Minutes later, they helped him to his feet, and he actually walked off the ramp on his own. That man is a fuckin soldier.

Don't know how many people here (if anyone) saw it, but I'm sure it will be all over Youtube pretty soon, so I'll post a link, whenever I find the vid.

DAAAAYOHMYFUCKINGGODYYYMN!

*cringes*

Whoooooooooooo... I've seen it like 4 times already and it still hurts, just as bad as the first time, to watch it again.

They uploaded that shit FAST. Haha. Good find, Led. :goodjob2:

Yea I thought he was never gonnna be able to skate again because for one he hit hard and fell high and two his shoes fell off! I was wonder like WTFSHIZOYOUUZIO? when he walked away pretty lucky and amazing

Wow.

Yeah man I saw it when it happened too. Ridiculous.

Oh, that was brutal. they won't stop playing it either.

I have satellite and theres this thing with the 6 different x-games channels all up at the same time and they kept showing the people around him but I kept looking at a different one so I was missing the replay. Then I saw it online and can't believe how hard he fell. There have been alot of huge wipeouts on that ramp already. That one BMX guy completely destroyed his tire when he landed.
