Anyone see this?
It was almost akward to watch.
-
how many more times does this slam have to be told in the mainstream media? enough already.
-
Yea I saw it. He had that deer in headlights stare at the camera. Very akward. He was probably on some strong painkillers anyway. Dude hardly smiled, more like he was programmed for the show.
Besides Jake, Dario's Formula-1 wreck was insane as well as the other guy having his drag car fuckin break in half!
-
I can see it now:
"GET OUT OF HERE! YOUR GOING TO FALL FORTY FEET LIKE JAKE BROWN!"
Skating a ledge.
Watching Larry King is always awkward.
-
Larry King's wife admitted that Larry likes wearing leather ass-less chaps on Howard Stern's new show lolercats.
-
At least one future skate-rat in your neighborhood is going to claim that Jake's slam got them interested in skateboarding. Just watch.
...and I'll be damned if this hasn't become the new 900... I've had the most unexpected people ask me if I saw "the dude fall off that huge ramp."

It's just too bad that this is what created Jakes's infamy. The dude kills, but now he's the fall-down guy to the entire world.

Yup, it's already started. My project manager called me up just to ask me if I saw what had happened. All he had to say was "DID YOU SEE THE.....", I just stopped him mid sentence and said "yeah, I know". Then I told him my views on the x-games and why I don't watch it. The conversation ended very quickly as his son skates and is into the x-games. If it weren't for the good ole SLAP boards, I woudn't have known.

Was it last night? The night befoe the heart attack cook was on

I would never take fried chicken from this woman... never.
And I was sick about hearing the fall a day after it happened.
Skateboarders fall... some from 40ft up. It happens.
-
It just dawned on me that he's larger than life now...at this point I just hope he's ok with gettin brain from any hot-ass model celebrity chick in the world after that shit;)

"how long have you been skateboarding?"
"20 years"
"why?"
what the fuck kind of question is that? i wish jake would have replied "how long have you been getting spanked by your old lady while wearing assless chaps?"
-

My guess is about 50-60 years with an upgrade every decade or so.
-
Yeah Larry seemed like such a condescending prick in that interview.
I could tell Jake had zero interest in being there but knew how much it's going to help his career.
-
i hope your project manager is a dick cause otherwise...you were being a bit of an ass to him.....
He's not a dick, he's just not on my good side at the moment. When he sprained his ankle, I lent him my aircast, which was last year. I didn't even hesitate to help him out when he was limping around the office and went to give him my aircast. Everytime I see him he seems to have forgotten to bring it. My ankle has been bothering me when I skate, and I kinda need it now. Yeah I could've been nicer to him but I'm just sick of hearing about it. Yeah I'm an ass, you're perfect?
-
did anyone else catch that larry asked something about if jake was going to "put the skates back on" or something like that? it's a fucking skateboard douchebag
-
Sometimes I really laugh with the questions he askes, because they require stupid answers which are sometimes funny
-

its funny
-
out of all the lame media exposure out there, i would say this is the best. "how important is the board"!? that is just awesome.

Christ why is Larry King on TV ?
*i thought i'd ask the son of God as there's no way mear mortals would let me be there*
-
because in the US we like zombies...

hahaha yeah he's pretty shit at his job that's for sure "why" as an interview you're actually taught to ask things a little bit more indepth, idiot that he is
-
This whole new age mega ramp shit is so fucking lame. I hate it.
-
Christ why is Larry King on TV ?
off-topic, but I remember hearing a story from Larry King a long time ago about when he got his start in media. He was an over-night radio DJ, and some lady called in saying she really liked his voice, and that he should go over to her house right away because she wanted to bang him.
So, he put on some record where the song was like some classical or opera shit that went on for like 3 hours, and headed out to her house. Unfortunately, as he was out, the record started skipping, but I think he still ended up banging the girl.

i'd gnar Larry if i could for that one

He's not the fall down guy, he's the get back up and walk off the ramp after falling 40 feet guy. He's the guy that made people respect skateboarders a little more because he doesn't quit. Hey, at least people are talking about skateboarding right?

He's fall-down, get up to you and me... well, plus he's Jake Brown to you and me. Everyone who's hit me up about it has been "hey, didja see that guy fall? Holy crap!" That's all they see, fall. When coworkers or other people around here find out I skate, one of the first questions is "you ever fall, man?" Either that or they tell me about how they quit back in the day because they broke a pinky toe or whatever.
What I'm saying is that as skateboarders, we're better qualified to know how gnarly Jake is... he'd just landed a retardedly fucked up trick, and bailed out of a trick we better understand the physics of (as well as understand why he went away from the wall) and all that... all the general public knows is that skater-fall-down-go-boom. I'm just saying that I wish Jake had his name in the spotlight because of how fucking good he is, but if this shit benefits him in the end, I'm 100% down for that too. I've long thought he deserved as much from skateboarding as he could get, but I think the reason he's famous now insults his talent.
As far as people talking about skateboarding... I don't know anymore. I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I wish skateboarding was smiled upon enough so that every kid had access to a good skatepark, but frowned upon enough so that skating ledges in the city was still illegal. I think skating has a certain dignity because of it's illegality... I also think it makes you appreciate spots more when you know you have to bum rush them.
I know skateboarding's characterization in the media (Larry King, ESPN, , Fuel, etc) has no effect on my skating, but I don't think it's wrong to care about the perception that skateboarding has (or is developing). I don't like skateboarding being seen as some kind of jock thing, especially considering that I skateboarded as a kid despite jocks. Non skaters will never see skateboarding as we see it, but if they're going to have a perception of it, I'd rather it be something else than what it is. Meh.
