Another Big Air Skateboarding Crash at the X Games



Clips of dudes dropping about 40 feet in the air and almost dying are definitely like watching a car crash.  You know something bad is about to happen but you can't help but watch it.  Of course, it's always better when the people involved don't get hurt and luckily, Danny Way seems to be OK after doing a somersault headstand while flipping down the ramp at about 50 MPH.

This obviously reminds me of Jake Brown from the 2007 X Games in which he got so high above the ramp that he was basically flying in the air for a good 4 seconds.  You had time to say "Oh shit, that is not good" as he was falling to the ground.  He hit so hard that his shoes came flying off and it looked as though he could have been severely injured or even paraylzed.  Luckily, he was OK as well.  This is just insane and is just as shocking every time you see it:
