Info
jake 'ironman' brown (born 6 september 1974) is an australian skateboarder who competes in the x games. he began competing in 1996, turning pro the following year.
on 2 august 2007, during the summer x games 2007 at the staples center in los angeles, california, brown suffered what espn commentators called the "heaviest slam they had ever seen". on his fifth and final run, he landed the first ever 720, in competition, on a mega ramp, but on the ensuing trick, he lost his balance, flew into the air, and fell about 45 feet (15 m) onto the ramp below. according to brown, when he landed the 720, he was approaching the quarterpipe too far to the left. at that moment, he started carving towards the right, which caused him to go into a slide. to stop the slide he had to compress, which shot him out above the flatground once he flew over the coping of the ramp. brown was released from the hospital on 5 august 2007, having been there for three days for observations.
