Skatebord Wipeout at last night's X Games

[P Chippa]

Crash

I was at a bar after my softball game last night and they had the X Games on the big screen. A skateboarder (Jake Brown) goes flying up a huge ramp and loses his board immediately after clearing the edge of the ramp. He fell 40-50 feet and landed on his tailbone.

He was laying on the ground for quite a while and we were all waiting for the replay to come on, but ESPN didn't show it for quite a while. Were they refusing to show it in case he was dead? That's the only reason I could think of for the delay.

The last 15 seconds of this clip is the best angle of how scary and how high in the the air he was when he lost it.
