As a skateboarder i enjoy watching skateboarding and this is one of the worst crashes i have ever seen. Jake Brown fell between 40 and 50 feet and walked away from it.

HIS SHOES POPPED OFF ON IMPACT

How the hell does a human being survive that, let alone get up and walk away?

Part of the blame here

has to go to that obscene ramp design. Using such a massive vert wall in there to transfer a skater's momentum is pure television. It would be a better idea to have them roll up another slope to slow themselves down. Ahh, well. That's ESPN's bastardization of skateboarding.

the ramp

design was actually a skater name danny way, he made a ramp like that several years ago to set 2 world records at skating in one swoop, distance plus hieight.
