X Games fixture, mega ramp creator and defending Big Air Rail Jam champion, Danny Way, will not compete in the Big Air or the Big Air Rail Jam this year at X Games 16. It was the talk of the Coliseum at Wednesday’s practice session and qualifying round. Way, who is one of the true warriors of skateboarding, and has overcame countless hard slams, isn’t pulling out because of an injury is he? Of course not.

Nothing makes you feel better then seeing other people fall. At least that’s how we feel after watching the slams from Session 5 at Windells.
This funny video has all the carnage from campers and pros who tried to have their cake and eat it too.
The mellow music may have you thinking these falls are all fun and games, but the booty banger that drops around the 1:16 mark may make you think otherwise.
Enjoy!

Yesterday, I made my first visit to X Games 16. If you’ve ever been to an X Games then you now how much is going on, and how it’s happening all over the place. All I am concerned with is skateboarding, and it’s still pretty complicated. You have Street and Park going on at the Staples Center. You have Big Air and Big Air Rail Jam at the Coliseum. Then, finally you have Vert going on at the Nokia Center. Then, mix in a slew of BMXers, freestyle motocrossers, rally car racers and whatever..

One of the defining moments in X Games history was in 1999, when Tony Hawk became the first skateboarder to successfully land a 900-degree rotation above the lip of a vert ramp.
That’s 2 1/2 spins while airborne, and Hawk nailed the landing on his 12th try.
Fast forward to 2010 and to a relatively new contraption called the Mega Ramp, which has delivered vert skating to daunting new heights.
Skateboarders must speed 70 feet down one ramp, soar and perform a..
