Oddly enough, on a site that heavily features objectified boobs galleries and asinine retrospectives of children’s cartoons, one of the most popular things we’ve shared over the last few months was the epic ski jump fail of Japanese layabout Daiki Ito. If you haven’t watched it, watch it. It’s even better than you’re imagining.

Ito’s flop was legendary, but he had to start somewhere. Enter this 11-year-old kid on his first run at a ski jump in California’s Kirkwood Mountain Resort. He takes off and things look pretty good, but then … no.

The picture kinda spoils the final half of his downhill adventure, but the video is below.

The With Leather audience is split down the middle when it comes to pro wrestling coverage. One half loves it, and spends hours every Monday night in one of our WWE Raw open discussion threads making esoteric jokes about the Christmas Creature or whatever. The other half can’t express their feelings beyond “fake” and “gay” and wish I’d hurry up and get back to posting UFC Ring Girls. Both sides are valuable to the community, so here’s something we can all agree on: when a pro wrestler almost dramatically kills himself in the ring, it’s a terrifying thing of interest.

This clip (borrowed from Cage Potato, which secretly just wants to be a wrestling blog) features Atlanta-based wrestler Charade going for a double rotation moonsault in a match at a Beyond Wrestling show in Rhode Island on September 30th and, well … sometimes your double rotation moonsault only gets 1 3/4 rotations, and that’s a terrible thing for your entire body.

If you’ve never seen a double moonsault, this is what it’s supposed to look like:

That doesn't look good.

That image should be a pretty clear indication that the following video isn’t for the squeamish.

KHL defenseman Denis Sokolov had his carotid artery sliced open by the skate of former NHL player Jan Bulis during a game between the Yekaterinburg Automobilist and Traktor Chelyabinsk.

Reports from overseas indicate that Sokolov lost nearly a pint of blood when Bulis’s skate clipped him at the start of the final frame but the 37-year-old said he expects to be back for the Sept. 20 game against Khanty-Mansiysk.

First of all, “Automobilist” is my new favorite sports team name. I hope their mascot is just a guy in a mid-sized Sedan Second of all, holy shit, this guy got jumped over during a hockey game, caught a blade to the neck and lost almost a pint of blood. That’s insane. I would okay never losing a pint of blood for any reason, especially doing something for work, or something I’ve considered fun for most of my life.

It’s great that he’s coming back so quickly, and if he doesn’t have a flashback freakout every time he gets knocked to the ice from now until infinity, he’s a much braver man than me. Video is below. It’s not as bad looking as you might imagine, but it still involves a trail of blood leading to a big puddle, so viewer discretion is advised.

The Lions and Browns are generally awful, but every now and again they manage to awkwardly fumble around until they have an exciting game against each other. Jake Delhomme is plenty familiar with awkwardly fumbling, a language in which he’ll be fluent in after a season as the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately for Delhomme, the pain that comes with playing for Cleveland has already started. Detroit rookie Ndamukong Suh almost ripped his head off Saturday night, forcing many people who enjoy cocaine to politely ask him if he would ‘relax.’

You know what they say, there’s nothing fixes a case of the Mondays like watching someone’s neck nearly get broken. Video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

If you walked into a bedroom and saw this, you might here someone blurt out, “This isn’t what it looks like!” And it’s not. It’s actually Scott Jorgensen choking out Chad George in Ohio last week. In 31 seconds. Jorgensen’s near-insta-tap was just another day at the office for the guy that thinks he’s the best MMA fighter at 135 pounds.

“I think I’m right there up at the top,” Jorgensen said at the evening’s post-event press conference. “I beat (Takeya) Mizugaki. I went out there and finished Chad George quick, decisively. I think I’m right up there.” –MMAJunkie.
