08/03/2007: "Un-Freaking-Believable"
I grew up with baseball and football, so I'm probably a bit too old to fully appreciate action sports. I'm one of those guys who cringes when I hear of skateboard events being considered for the Olympics. But there's no question that the events can be entertaining.
If you were watching the opening few minutes of ESPN's X-Games coverage last night, you saw Jake Brown survive a wipeout he had no right to survive, much less walk away from. Rest assured that I'd never share this footage if the outcome had been bad, but believe me - a minute into the clip, you'll think "Man - I just saw someone die." Be sure to watch the clip all the way through for the replays - see if you can figure out where his shoes go.
You can question the sports or the athleticism - or the sanity - but never question the courage ...
Man - I just love YouTube ...
