I luckily got to see some of this on TV today and it was just pure sickness. Those dudes have HUGE gonads!

I won't even hit a 70 foot gap on my dirt bike, much less my skateboard. SICK!

"The largest crowd in X Games history witnessed Danny Way shatter his own long jump world record at the debut of Skateboard Big Air at ESPNs X Games X last Sunday at STAPLES Center in LA. Prior to the debut of the Skateboard Big Air competition at X Games X, with Guinness Book judges on site, Danny wanted to try to break the world records he set in June of 2003highest air and longest jump on a skateboard. So during warm ups before Big Air on Sunday, Danny, shattered his old long jump record of 75 feet, blasting a backside 360 four feet further over the gap to 79 feet.

During the Big Air event, X Games announcer Dave Duncan said that Danny told him when he landed the backside 360 during a warm up run, he saw the yellow 80 foot marker line under his wheels and knew he broke his old world record.

I didnt plan on breaking any records, said Danny, whose last X Games gold-medal victory was in 1995 in Skateboard High Air. As the person who created the ramp I was already under a lot of pressure just to win the Big Air."
