ya, dnny way's antics were amazing...didnt he break two records in that one run?
but besides him and a few others throwing rodeos and shit, skateboarding big air might be pretty lame

i guess they're trying to take a page out of snowboardings book. i really think only a couple guys'll be able to pull it off (definately danny, and a couple others like burnquist and lasek).

^^actually danny way went higher out of the qp on his skateboard than a skier has. He was about 29 feet out. the biggest air on skis is like 25, but i bet if there was a huge qp like that for skis they could get higher

Sorry, Tony can pull the sweet 9s, but Danny Way all the way biotches!!!! He is the ultimate! Ya I caught the DC video that is a ausome skate movie, I suggest everyone who skateboards should watch the DC video. Besides those, possibly Bob Burnquest, he pulled that double backflip, but its always funny to see the AM where these people who rip huge air and bite it terribly.

x games should make a near impossible rail to slide. like a 10 foot box or something, and the first one who clears the whole thing wins.

I think that this is a sick progression of Skateboarding, but I also find it a shame that to be good you have to go stupidly far instead of pulling stylie stuff going moderatly far... 65 feet on a skateboard is insane...
p.s. they should bring back the skiing big air in the summer X..

danny way got 23.5 feet out if i'm correct. jon went 33, like the dude above me said, on a flair tailgrab.

but when i said danny way goes bigger than most people do on skis, i was referring to the massive gap he cleared, with cork 3's etc.
