Chad Kagy wears a helmet cam for the BMX Big Air
(CBS) - Every once in a while, I catch some flubbed moment in sports and think, just maybe, with a little bit of luck, I could have pulled that off. Be it a missed layup in a basketball game, a botched ground-ball in a baseball game, or a dropped pass in a football game, you can't help but think you might have been able to execute a botched moment better.
With the Big Air competition in the X Games, I can't even consider the possibility. Ever.
Some of the stunts and tricks that are pulled off in this competition with apparent ease are absolutely astounding. A little over 10 years ago Tony Hawk pulled off the unthinkable, a "900", and now we have riders going for triple back-flips and double front-flips.
To show you what it is like to attempt the BMX Big Air, Chad Kagey wears a helmet cam for his soaring jump and half-pipe attempt on the BMX Big Air, an experience that must be seen to be believed (and is still pretty unbelievable even when you do see it).
