    Yeah was supposed to do a 540 after he landed the 720 or something....

    Amazing how he could only get those injuries though.

    I think I got the link to the vid off AGFX. Really scary. I thought for sure he would have died from falling that high.

    Yeah he made the 720 over the gape, but had speed wobbled as he went up the QP.

    I think everybody wants to see Jake take the gold next year for Big Air, well atleast I do. The part that sucks, for him, is that Danny Way never loses any Big Air competitions. He didn't compete this year because he messed up his wrist (it could have been something else) a few weeks before.

    Does anyone go to Woodward? They just added a mega ramp with an airbag landing and I want to try it so bad. I haven't been there in two years.
