Anyone watching?That dude, James Blake just fell 20ft. out of the sky on the mega-ramp.....it's amazing he didn't die.........I mean, it wasn't like he skidded along the quarter pipe....naw he fell HARD. Probably the hardest I've seen anyone fall....and he walked away too.

    i was out and people were calling me like " I think this dude just died on live tv!"

    They recorded it and I just saw it. That looked like someone jumping of a building. If he didn't hit the tiny bit where the ramp started to bend to go up and just hit flat he'd probably not be doing to well. Did you see his shoes go flying off like 45 ft????

    Somebody is gonna have to make the chill out with the ramp. He could have easily died.

    I was watching it live by myself and was like "ohhhh shit...................".
    There was complete silence and stillness on the screen for like 5 seconds. I mean dude didn't even flinch.....that was a real scary moment. I'm glad he's semi-okay now.

    I was just telling my girlfriend about that..


    that shit was eff'n bonkers, the crowd was going nuts over his 720... when his board got away from him shit was surreal...

    thought he was dead for sure... he should be making a sizable donation to the helmet company..

    Probably more like 30-35 feet considering the height-meter starts at the lip of the ramp.

    Damn, his name is Jake Brown and he's an aussie. Although after a fall like that it's lucky to not say he WAS an aussie.

    They're more evil knievel than skaters these days, and it hurst just to watch.

    Athletes gotta "up the ante" but still.....even the commentators were like "I'm glad I'm not competing! I can barely watch these guys do backflips WITH A KISS OF DEATH."
