"How many youtube views do you think we'll have by the morning? Two million." I have never watched the X Games. I don't really care about extreme sports (or any sports) and as many people know I have a special place in the darkest part of my heart for skateboarding. Fuck that shit. Anyway, I watched the X Games Big Air competition last night and I fucking am glad I did. Big Air is a 62-foot-high, 293-foot-long mega fucking ramp. It is the hugest, steepest thing I have ever seen in my life. Danny Way is a big name is skateboarding and on his second run clipped his shins on the top of the TWENTY SEVEN FOOT HIGH quarterpipe. "The second most gnarly bail" according to the X Games fags. It's seriously brutal. After this out of control fall he decided he was going to continue taking the last three runs. I figured we were about to watch him die. Sike. He limped back up to the top of the ramp and did the EXACT SAME TRICKS and landed that shit like it was nbd.
After this insanity, he took his fourth run, slammed his head into some shit, obvi still decided he was going to take his final run, fucked that ramp like he'd been locked up for 10-15 and takes first place with 94.00. UNTIL. Bob Fucking Burnquist, the last and final competitor, decided ehh whatever I'm just doing to do the sickest trick anyone has ever done at the X Games, backwards.
He took the gold with a score of 96.00 which is the highest score ever received thus far. It sucks to be Danny Way.
Just for shits and giggles, here's this years bronze medal winner Jake Brown (or as the announcers called him the "bridesmaid") taking the most serious bail ever in the history of bails at last year's games.
