X-Games.
Danny Way just blew my mind.
He did this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqq8wfZQnws
Went to the medical center since his shins are likely broken in half.
Doctor was like, "No way you can skate."
and Danny was like, "Where there's a will there's a Way."
and he came out a few minutes later and landed those tricks.
Also Jake Brown isn't dead yet, in fact, he's the leader in the big air competition right now.
This is nuts.

Well goddamn those are some painkillers
But I don't see how they couldn't have been.
I could certainly see some injuries possibly occurring but to say that it's impossible for someone not to have broken a bone from a fall like that is stretching it.
Wiki... - "but was found to have sustained a lacerated liver, a lung contusion and stress fractures in his vertebra as well as a small hand fracture"
I'm not very good, but I still have fun
And that's the important thing
The day it stops being fun, I'll get rid of my board
I stick to playing EA's Skate now (which I haven't done in a good while)
i was at least good enough at skateboarding to ollie onto things
I can manual
I can revert
I cannot ollie
But that whole thing went out of style with everyone I knew about 10 years ago. I think they still sell those shoes though.
you need to kick out both legs at the right time and the right angle
doing it five million times in a row helps
I've never even managed to get it off the ground
Anyone else waiting to see the Moto-X frontflip they keep hyping?
kick down with the backfoot as you slide the front foot forward
and try it four million more times
Fucking Danny Way
Tonight was getting my revert down and working on my balance with my manual
He's in first right now
then came right back out a few minutes later and did the same tricks but landed them.
then came out and messed up and slammed his head pretty hard on the ramp
and then came out again and pulled off a really awesome looking varial 540 something other.
add it to the OP
edit: damn add all the videos if he's intent of fucking his shit up
it was the butt sweat.
videos
I mean, I know how hard it is to come in backwards like that
But god dammit
This is still awesome. I just love how he's like "fuck you bike i'm hot" after he lands it
My brother came off the lip of a fun box on a 50-50 stall, tumbled slowly, awkwardly to the ground and broke his leg in like 6 places. Had to wear a cast for 7 months.
Also i was watching x-games live like 10 years ago when a dude landed the first ever dirt bike back flip. Now every motherfucker does it. Seeing a double is pretty insane.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
edit: nope it was just a barrier.
Everytime someone mentions Travis Pastrana I think of this video.

i would never go near stairs ever
I just don't go down them
I pulled a manual off the ledge at the school tonight, dropped a foot and a half to the ground and kept going
It felt rad as hell
