I just saw a clip of this on a local news station and it was pretty amazing.

That is just awesome. Too bad about the guy who fractured his skull, though.

Wow, that guy is insane. I can barely ride one of those skateboards a few feet... and this guy jumped the freaking great wall of china.

I feel like a non-skateboarding loser now :-x

this reminds me of that Monty Python sketch where Ron Obvious is trying to jump the canal baring a few sponsor bricks

I love skateboarding but somehow feel that the Great Wall of China should not be used as a prop. It is kind of like having your grandmother lay down on the sidewalk so that you can ollie over her. It lacks some respect.
