Clearly Jake also has a yet to be diagnosed brain injury....

LOL, I would have to agree

[SixVi6-Camaro]

That is nuts but I bet he goes home every day in his Ferrari to his multi million dollar home as well.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Yep, everytime he stuffs that can of Monster in the camera it's CHA-CHING!!!

Ricky wins moto x. Jake browns out of the hospital and says he cant wait for x games next year. :crazy:

as expected

Bruised liver.

He bruised his lung and liver, broke a wrist and a vertebra, and had his sneakers knocked off.

From comcast news.

"I kicked them off in a fit of joy!"

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

God, I hope the shoes are OK.....maybe if he tied them they wouldn't have come off. But on the other hand, maybe it was like in a car wreck, the parts flying off helped to dissapate the energy, thereby saving his ass.

[squirrel]

ANy way you look at it that had to hurt!!!!!!! He might of walked away but you know the next morning he wasn't moving very much! Reminds me of the crash that Tommy "tomcat" Clowers had a few years back. When he nailed the side of a landing.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Overall a pretty good X-Games. What I want to know is how he fell 50 feet and bruised his liver...... I jumped 25 feet and fell about 15 feet down and lacerated mine. Granted I hit the bars but STILL. I am absolutely amazed at how relatively un-injured he was. Pros know how to fall I guess......

[Ponch]

Well yea Dan, when you're falling, you gotta get off whatever you're riding and swing your arms around like an idiot pretending like it's gonna bring you down slower....ha

He was inventing a new trick, and hoping for more style points.

You do know they do that to keep their balance.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

balance on what ur free falling and once ur in the air u cant do anything about balance

[Ponch]

^My thought's exactaly....

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

its just physics, once ur in free fall u cant apply a torque because there nothing to grab onto or push back against u. u can twist ur body but u cant make urself move in any direction other than the one ur falling in

[Ponch]

I mean theoretically, yes it WILL work because you can push air (aka a fan, etc) but your arms aren't fan blades so they're not going to do much.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

no it wont lol ull learn when u take physics

[Ponch]

How does a bird fly then?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

its wings create lift through a large surface area not to mention ridiculously strong pectoral muscles, thats a tottally different thing

[Ponch]

But it's the same...If we had rediculously large wings and huge pecs it would make an effect if we were falling...

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

u wouldnt be falling then u would be flying or gliding, thats different...see lol

[Ponch]

To quote Woody from A Toy Story-"That's not, that's not flying! That's falling.........with style! YOU ARE A TOY!" haha wow

[Evil3]

Lets see this went form the X-games to physics class. lol

Mike not everything is explained with physics. lol

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

everything is physics man!
