X Games Big Air Footage

Los Angeles, USA, 7/30/2010 by Denis Sopovic
Jake Brown did it again and took home a gold in the Big Air; just like last year.

Footage:


The first day of X Games 16 started with Big Air and Jake Brown took home the gold again, just like last year. A nasty slam almost stopped him early in the contest, as Jake decrompessed right before the takeoff and made the crowd go silent once again. However, after he was checked by the paramedics that he was ok, he continued doing his backflips to huge 540s until he busted out a 22.7 feet high 540, giving him the highest score.

Bob Burnquist decided to try the 900 in his last runs in an effort to beat Jake´s leading run and almost landed it. Bob got so close that he decided to give it a few more tries even after the contest was over and the crowd started to leave the huge arena, unfortunately he did not land it.

Results:
1: Jake Brown Carlsbad, Calif. 93.66
2: Bob Burnquist Sao Paulo, Brazil 93.00
3: Rob Lorifice Encinitas, Calif. 87.66
4: Pedro Barros Florianopolis, Brazil 86.66
5: Adam Taylor Cocoa Beach, Fla. 80.00
6: Edgard Pereira Sao Bernardo Do Campo, Brazil 2.33
