now you can be quiet :)

[GermanLoLVidz]

yes its a fakie 1080 because thats the only way it is even possible u fckn idiot

[nVidiaGTX100]

fuck off

[crogangstaa]

This record doesn't make sense to me. He used a mega ramp...

He has so much more momentum than a half pipe, including the fact that hes small so he can get even higher than the average adult male and only achieved half a spin more than tony hawks 900 in a standard half pipe. Doesn't add up

[CGG003]

no, you're merely clearing up everything, i agree with you

[filmaniacks123]
