Foam pit... Helps if you don't mind getting smashed to pieces sometimes as well, he's destroyed himself more than once trying it. That's why he runs up to his mum and says "I'm sorry mom", apparently he'd promised to never try again Originally I thought "Mums, never happy... She wanted him to do it no hands"

I remember staying up all night to see if Tony Hawks would land a 9 in the X Games, years back... Brilliant stuff. Can't say I'm a big fan of the bike stunts, but it's the same sort of achievement. Even the other riders loved it...

i guess its what i dislike most about Americans (assuming he is American of course), there whooping and yee haaing about something they've done.

had that been a bloke from blighty he'd have prolly punched the air with delight and got off his bike properly.

whats the point in landing that trick then throwing your bike away at the end? don't get it....
