Yeah I saw that live last night. I honestly thought he would have a broken neck or back or something. Couldn't believe he got up and was laughing.

i thought i was going to die falling onto my back from 11 feet. holy shit.

Holy cow his shoes just shot off of his feet! I bet his ankles are going to be swollen for a long time..... I jumped off of a single story roof only a 15' drop and my ankles hurt like a bitch for 2 weeks and that was even using the tuck and roll method...but you can tell his feet went back and then sprung forward throwing his shoes off in the process....

The dude kept his mind right and landed as best as he could. Fuggin amazing he walked away with out being strapped to a back board. AAAAaand he made that 720 ... I couldn't even do an ollie anymore.

Not only did he make the 720, but that landing was faultless, utterly perfect. But, owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww fuck that drop!

Too bad. I wish he would have landed it. Skateboarders are some of the toughest motherfuckers in the world.

Walking away was bad ass.

No doubt about that. I've seen some dudes take some serious spills in my days of skating and get up and laugh/walk it off. Amazing stuff. Guaranteed this guy is on his board and identical ramps in no time. Takes a lot of balls after a fall like that.

The latest I've heard is that he has a bruised lung and bruised liver. No broken bones after that impact is truly amazing.

Did you make that, min0?

Posted by: min0 lee

No, but I could make something close to that.

I spent 5 minutes making my little sign.

Nothing can beat your IM-driving by pooping GIF. Ever.

Sorry man, but finding it is no easy feat. Maybe min0 will repost it.

One of my buddies is an on call physical therpaist there....he is one of the first responders that runs out there when the guys go down to do all sorts of checks to make sure that the guy is able to move, that he has not broke is neck or any other vertabrae, etc.....he comes back on monday and I can't wait to get the scoop. He said that this entire week during practices there were a ton of accidents as guys were trying some incredible stunts.

What the hell is Mabry doing in there?!?!?!

You've never seen that before?!

Posted by: min0 lee

I can't wait to do more, my main PC is better for that stuff.

I made Ken stare at Kefe's peepee.

Ali is such a mess. He'll try anything. I used to have a 411 of him trying to ollie a ledge which then dropped like 10 feet. But he clipped the ledge and went head first and used his arms to brace himself. One of his wrists snapped like a twig and was just dangling. Here's another classic, Jamie Thomas' leap of faith:

Newsflash!

Skateboarder Jake Brown, whose 45-foot free-fall Thursday night brought a hush to the crowd at Staples Center, remains hospitalized after suffering bruises of the liver and lung, stress fractures in his vertebrae and a small fracture on the top of one hand.

I'm really enjoying Mike V's series on FuelTV "Drive."

I don't mind his narration, they get some good sequences together and usually only play prog-type instrumentals like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky.

Never seen that one. I always liked him though. WTF ever happened to the A-Team? I recently got a CCS catalog out of curiosity to see what type of stuff they sell these days. So much has changed as far as brand names since I skated. Seeing all the video parts definately makes me want to go out and grab a board too.
