Saw it on the news, pretty cool.
I assume you could do the same only backwards though right? (judging from your pic sequence last week)Skookum said:
Very cool. Did walmart sponsor it?

No but i when i do skate i do it handstand style. It's great X-training for all that hand pumping i have to do to make it up them steep hills.MMike said:
How do you keep your board from falling in that long of a jump?
I remeber when he had a crazy ramp like that at his house (15 min from me) set some record cleared like 5 cars I think it was a 35' gap
You have to do a grab to keep your board with you. Is it still going to be on the news, I missed it.

Here's the whole story and website. The whole thing was put on by DC shoes. My GF works there so I got the inside scoop. The whole thing is pretty amazing really. Apart from the huge jump, it is really cool to see the Chinese government get involved in something like this. They actually have a Minister of extrem sports in China! Oh and the ramp cost a million dollars, seriously.

Something to be said for knowing how to crash correctly? Look like Mr. Way hit the ground pretty hard a few times, but always on his pads....
I kept hoping he would land it coming back into the pipe after making the jump. Just friggin' nuts. It's nice to see they did it a bit more professionally than when the guy tried unsuccessfully to do it on a bike...
If he were a REAL man he would have landed in the pipe, and then jumped BACK over the wall.llkoolkeg said:
