That looked painful. I can't believe he got up and walked away.

I've seen that a few times and I still grimace. When you see something like that does your body just hurt or tingle? Man that had to hurt.

why not have ppl with mats ready for such a thing? At least you could attempt to save him from a big hit.

- keep.

Nah...it's like NASCAR...spectators just go to see the "the big one"...

No need for over-reaction from the NASCAR or X-Game fanatics...just having a little fun...

Good Lord, that was horrendous. Dude has to be tough as nails, and missing a few marbles. What are they going to do next for extreme? I know they've jumped out of helicopters onto ramps before. Maybe ride a skateboard down Everest?

I was in Scheels when I first saw that. I let out a big "OOO" right in the middle of the store. I hate to say it but I am fascinated by how far he fell and he actually was back at the X-Games a couple days later, even though he was using a cane and had a cast on his wrist.

The guy was in first thought before his crash, ended up getting second when Bob Burnquist, the only guy left to go, beat his score. Burnquist had to think hard though I am sure before he went down that ramp after that.
