Skateboarder falls 45ft at X Games

Bob Burnquist won gold in Skateboard Big Air in the opening night of the X Games on Thursday, scoring 95.6 on the final run of the competition. Jake Brown, from Sydney, Australia, was in first place with a score of 95.33 when he rolled down the ramp for his final attempt. After doing a 720 over the gap, he lost control of his body and board when he launched over the quarter pipe and fell 45 feet onto his face and stomach, making a loud thud and leaving the crowd silent. Checkout the Video.
