I was watching this last night with the gf. After landing a 720 to McTwist over a 70 foot gap (INSANE!!) he attempted another stunt. He didn't make it. When this happened I was seriously crying. I thought Jake had died. The impact sent one of his shoes flying off of his feet. He laid there for about 8 minutes unconscious with his eyes open. Then dude WALKED OFF of the ramp (with a little help). Many news stories are reporting that this is the worse fall in skateboarding history (that we know of).
