the heaviest slam we've ever seen wow I can't believe you mean us in 20 days and gentlemen we do have the best medical staff in the business right now and they're evaluating that's about as far as you can tell we slammed as hard as we've ever seen someone slamming after making that 720 these are the dangers that come with these guys who had not stopped meant they are some of the best athletes in the world and sometimes this happened we will join you shortly well yeah you can see behind me right now the medical staff is checking Jake Brown house something we never like to see but I did go and

hear news [Applause] wanky standing up to them unbelievable and I thought what hey Bill Tom what are they built from in Sydney Australia [Applause] I'm gonna see she would walk away anything like that

you land on the sidewalk and then walk away Brandon Joyner watch their daughter try to put it down now if you watched her in the park qualifier just a few weeks ago in Boise it wasn't about just getting here she won it outright she's no joke turning 13 yesterday she's not here just to get on the podium she's here to win this thing she is fierce and she has grown so much in the last year you can see in her skating so much more powerful I can see how hot she's going out of the bowl I think that plays a huge part in how much she's grown into her speeding so much nice base laser riding so much purpose she's got a run planned out [Applause] nice air over that funny she just missed the podium in X Games last year in her debut finishing 4th in every piece of the course [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sticking her [Music] to see her use every part of the course and have her trick in at the last second there she really planned that out and we don't want to shortchange her that graphic was accurate as of 12 hours ago she is now 13 years old games gold medal wow what a podium papi getting bronze you can see the emotion between these girls they spend so much time together this is what X

pressure cooker moment you had to make it happen all hum that last run you stopped you went back what was going through your mind up there I was so nervous I've never felt that much pressure I've never felt the feeling like that before Congrats appalled that was he gave me such an amazing battle and me work for that so hard when I threw in and then went back that one time those guys the wind was picking up a lot so I have to make sure everything was just right to make it happen and somehow I pulled it off I don't know how and lastly you talked about the guys that were pushing you out here what were they doing that was was anything getting into your head or was anything you know really pushing you to do something crazy out there yeah absolutely I mean everyone out there is killing it so hard and the progression is going at such a high level each and every contest it gets gnarly gnarly Rand Paul with tricks like switch flip back 50s down the hubba like you really have to give it your all and thank God I had that hard flip for a for an option for a trick because I knew who's got to get just enough to get me on top okay we'll take a look at the screen up here we're gonna let you relive that moment take us through that last trick I didn't even know what I was thinking like I only landed that one time in practice and that was three days ago so I seriously like I didn't think I could do it but um I thought my legs would definitely just kind of give out on me or something but somehow I pulled it off I have no idea how Congrats everyone that everyone killed it so hard and thanks for thanks for pushing me congratulations guys something's back to you Thank You Jordan Nyjah Huston defending his gold medal the second consecutive [Applause] select series to the bronze medal

die trying I don't think he's going to stop until it puts this thing down this could be it he's got it oh man she just lands them what is going on and he he sketched off the gap and it just put him in a a good speed position I don't believe what I have seen look how focused he is right there that is incredible look I mean that's a lot of smoke his head is already spinning on the takeoff there's a
