Jake Brown: Back on the Megaramp
May 7, 2008 – 12:02 am PT by GregTags: Bob Burnquist, Dave Carnie, Jackass, Jake Brown, Megaramp —
Jake Brown has finally gotten back on the megaramp, a little more than seven months after the horrendous fall he took during X Games 13. But lucky for us, not only do we have some video of the event, we also have Dave Carnie chronicling the whole thing on the Big Brother Jackassworld website.
You can read the whole thing here (it’s worth it) but here are the highlights:
- Dave Carnie has an uncomfortable conversation with Bob Burnquist about coming to film Brown on Bob’s ramp. Carnie sh*t all over Bob in his blog after BB won the gold (questionably) at X13 in Big Air
- Burnquist tells Carnie about Brown: “He was amazing that day and basically walked on water. The Gold medal or any medal was and is pointless.”
- Heath Kirchart comes along and drops in but bails out before he can make the jump.
- Brown didn’t miss a beat and smoothly took the ramp. “I wasn’t nervous when I got here,” he said later, “but as I was heading across the flat bottom and looking at the transition, I was like, ‘Oh sh*t.’”.
Good stuff. There’s a lot more to read in the entry. Check it out.
