    Nice flourish at the end, fishtailing into the sand trap! Awesome.

    Next, I want to see the big LOOP!

    You're right. He almost over jumped the landing ramp. I've seen ski jumpers do that, landing on the flat and it can be ugly.

    The guy should have said, "You broke the world record and lived to tell about it, so get out and celebrate". :D
