He not only regained consciousness and walked off the ramp, he's already out of the hospital and was hanging out backstage at the games tonight. Crazy.

1. Oh man... So long as he's okay.
I have so much respect for people who can pull off those biking and skating stunts, and make them look like they've been doing it their entire lives.

8. Most of them have been doing it their entire lives.
I started when I was 11 or 12 and a lot of people start even younger than that.

3. I just about had a heart attack
When I saw the clip yesterday. That kid does NOT know how lucky he is, a 50 ft drop can and will kill people. But it did look cool as hell up until then!

7. No shit.. Falling off of 8 stairs is bad enough.
I liked how he kept moving his legs on the way down. That is one of those times where you need to wrap your arms around your head and go limp.
