That was pretty cool, especially on HD. And he did make it look easy. I miss EK. I don't think anyone will ever be as great as he.

Yes the guy was Robbie Matherson and he made the 310+ look pretty easy. I wish he'd have rolled to the top of the ramp and then back down like EK used to do, that really gets the crowd going. Beats the heck out of watching a lighted ball drop anyday.
