The first Final of SUMMER X 14 was a BARN-Burner ! - nothing short of the BIGGest BIG AIR event ever in the X Games.
San Diego residents took all three medals: Jake Brown, Bronze; Danny Way, Silver; and Bob Burnquist, Gold...
This is the first of several posts on this, so take a look at the results, EXPN blog, and a video...
(4:27) July 31 --- Unedited segment from the live ESPN telecast: The third run by Danny Way as seen live, with slow-motion replay, analysis. --- He was 'strongly!' advised by the medical staff NOT to continue with final two runs; he did so, and miraculously landed both, finishing a close second to Bob Burnquist. --- Includes video of some of his falls from same day's earlier practice and prelims.
