Big Air Champion

thenewiBall · 2012-09-28T14:43:04+00:00

I never want to hit the ground hard enough for my shoes to fly off

ganymede_boy · 2012-09-28T14:33:45+00:00

Jake Brown 2007. He did not die.

UnrighteousFool · 2012-09-28T14:35:14+00:00

He walked away from that.

ComplainsAboutDvotes · 2012-09-28T18:25:33+00:00

Can't have hurt that much, he was falling so slow.

knappster99 · 2012-09-28T17:42:33+00:00

If one were in that situation, whats the best way to land? On your butt like this guy or is there a better way to reduce injury?

Emorgaron · 2012-09-28T17:56:20+00:00

Someone should have thrown him a skateboard while he was falling.

Dodecadildo · 2012-09-28T17:24:44+00:00

The X Games provide a lot of Holy-Shit-That-Just-Happened moments and for me at the time this was the most intense, but it was quickly topped when 10 minutes later he walked off under his own power. A decent percentage of people die from 50 foot falls, and Jake Brown simply picked up his iron-clad balls and walked away.

MemeTLDR · 2012-09-28T15:58:45+00:00

I watched this live and I seriously thought he was dead. I screamed at the top of my lungs and my entire family ran into the living room and thought he was dead too.

RICH_LITTLE · 2012-09-28T15:13:44+00:00

Does anyone know the consequences of this fall? Looks like some pretty serious whiplash he suffered.

Blame_The_Green · 2012-09-28T17:08:50+00:00

He's got some skill.

ADAYATTHERACES · 2012-09-28T16:41:48+00:00

Make it or Jake it!

Sharzona · 2012-09-28T17:21:41+00:00

I lost it at the shoes.

everyday_youtuber · 2012-09-28T17:24:50+00:00

He is very skilled, at the last moment he seemed to calm the shit down and land properly.

misterfrank · 2012-09-28T17:35:38+00:00

I remember watching this, crazy as hell. Can't believe he only left with some bruised ribs and a concussion.

adn5027 · 2012-09-28T17:51:10+00:00

The entire length of his long, slow fall, I was sitting here with a cringe on my face goin "oh no ohhhhhh...ouch."

ChikenArmy · 2012-09-28T17:54:44+00:00

This is one of my worst nightmares just falling and not being able to do anything about it knowing your gunna get hurt

Coolbreezy · 2012-09-28T18:04:47+00:00

Shit. How bad was his back after that?

ugh_next · 2012-09-28T18:08:11+00:00

I'd request someone stand at the bottom with a mattress nearby ready to slide it under me if something like that was about to happen!

tamnoswal · 2012-09-28T18:09:52+00:00

I got jumped by some agro man-child while at a high school football game once. The glandular freak tackled me so hard my shoes flew off (or maybe stayed put) as my body rocketed violently towards the ground.

I know that feel, bro.

SSJwiggy · 2012-09-28T18:10:38+00:00

I have no idea why I read the title as "Big Air Chameleon". I guess I assumed that was the name of the skateboard trick.

slowitdown · 2012-09-28T18:46:15+00:00

It kinda sucks that he's only really known for this horrific slam. He's actually an incredibly talented skateboarder.

Lady_Tata · 2012-09-28T18:47:49+00:00

I remember watching that when it happened on TV. The first thing I thought was "how fast was he falling?" My bro and I estimated that he hit the ground going about 35-40 mph.

sharksfan93 · 2012-09-28T19:31:38+00:00

I remember when I saw this live, I thought he would have snapped his legs off at that height. Dude is lucky

Jay_KWM · 2012-09-28T19:56:11+00:00

I remember watching this live on tv. I never cringed so hard, i thought he was a goner.

SuperHorribleGaming · 2012-09-28T21:04:29+00:00

Oh god, I can't imagine how horrifying that is. it was like falling out of a 5 story building

Caleb_mac11 · 2012-09-28T21:18:04+00:00

I remember this X-games so much, I would hate to hit the ground that hard

FalconOne · 2012-09-28T22:33:48+00:00

After about 5 seconds after he's airborn you can tell that he accepts his fate.

leogg_lyl · 2012-09-28T22:37:07+00:00

You would think that his happens quite often, right? They should have an emergency mat or mattress that they can just throw. It's not much, but it's better than landing on hardwood. (Or is it metal?)

cromwest · 2012-09-29T01:18:53+00:00

Gravity is unimpressed.

Brwnman · 2012-09-29T01:29:15+00:00

Dude NSFL that shit. Some people don't like to just happen upon this.

Cynical_Walrus · 2012-09-29T02:47:39+00:00

Right on the tailbone. That would've hurt like hell.

SuperMonk34 · 2012-09-29T03:53:38+00:00

BRAVO!

Avarra · 2012-09-29T03:59:59+00:00

His shoes exploded!

Neze · 2012-09-29T04:15:54+00:00

Didn't grab no SHOOOOOOES or nuthin' Jesus.

TierOne · 2012-09-28T15:46:44+00:00

I think this man may have eaten the Gomu Gomu no mi because there is no way normal legs should have survived that.. O_o

MustardMcguff · 2012-09-28T18:35:47+00:00

He actually landed exactly how you're supposed to land from a fall that high. Bend your knees, hit with your feet, and roll forward or backwards.

MakeMeNaked · 2012-09-28T19:10:09+00:00

I've never understood "Trick" sports. I look at these people as one step above dogs or dolphins, do a flip- get a biscuit
