Yeah, I think Danny Way's performance was classic X-games sickness. His determination and the fact that he came right back to stomp the trick that took him out is "heavy metal dude!" - that's F'n gettin' back on the horse for sure!
That sent out a message to the other competitors "if you gonna win this you gonna have to bring it!"
Gotta love that in sports when the other guys respond and then D way comes back from the second crash
and took it to another level to take the lead...
Then one of his best boys says" I gotta try some hard sh!t to try to beat him! and lay it all on the line to reach one step higher! That was a kick ass event!
But, That event could get someone real hurt! Two of the gnarliest skateboard crashes have been on the Mega Pipe!
Are you kiddin' lookin down from the top looked insane to hit on a skateboard!
Good attempt Jim, I hope everything is O.K. that was a shot to the spine!
I think he bailed cause he saw he overjumped it and was going to land to flat -probably front wheel first.
the bike landed both wheels flat cause he bailed, the natural projection of the trick would have kept spinning
forward as he continued out. I think he would've ate sh!t worse, but who knows.... hope he's O.K.
I thought the trick that won was original but, I don't think it was executed that cleanly. It's a hard call cause I'm sick of backflip combos but, that double seat grab that took silver was sicktasticly done with perfect form and extention - thought it should have won but, that's "Judged" sports I guess - No Finish Line!
