X Games

Skateboard Big Air airing live on ESPN now. Jake Brown is back one year after this fall from 46 feet. hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN28HOFwfIw

3-time winner Danny Way just clipped the lip and did a front flip onto his back. Some other guy might do a front flip later in the motorcycle competition. These guys are retarded. I don't think they even scheduled commercial breaks, they just wait until someone gets injured and has to be attended to on the ramp.

It's even more ridiculous now. He's limping around like a cripple and just came back and hit the same trick (backflip over the 70-ft to 35-ft something 540) and now he's in 1st place. They interviewed him and he says he thinks his foot is broken, his shoulder feels broken and his back hurts. The doctor told him not to skate and he told the doctor he'd have to fight him. He's going to take his next 2 runs too.

Wait - passed for 1st by Jake Brown, the guy who should be dead.

Way is a machine. Some guy in the motocross tried a front flip and fell about 15 feet from the ground straight on his back. Apparently he compressed some vertebrae.

These guys keep going bigger and bigger, and eventually I think someone will die at the X Games. It's getting that out of hand but it is so captivating I just have to watch.
