Danny Way obviously has no reasonable way of judging pain. He is a real man's man. Seeing him do the Big Air makes professional football players look just a little less tough. After watching him wipe out at the X Games Big Air, there is no reason that man should have skateboarded for the rest of the competition. He went nearly 40 feet in the air, clipped his feet on the edge of the half pipe and flipped back down the ramp (video at the top). He may have broken his foot and had a sprained neck going into the competition. The amazing thing: He finished 2nd in the competition. He held first place on and off and on his last run pulled a backflip and a Varial 540 and I thought he would surely win gold. Had Bob Burnquist not had another sick set of tricks, the injured Danny Way would have gotten first. Really, both Burnquist and Way are ridiculous men. Danny Way jumped over the Great Wall of China, has had 4 ACL replacements, and has won the X Games Big Air 3 out of his 4 entries. Burnquist jumped off a ramp, grinded on a rail, and then base jumped into the Grand Canyon (video below). I think that both of these guys have to be slightly touched in the head to do all this. Really, anybody who jumps off that Big Air ramp is an idiot. I would probably pee my pants just looking over that ramp, let alone throwing myself off it on a piece of wood and wheels.
