I know right, he did it in like two tries. I kinda feel bad for phelps they flew him all the way down there and he lands it so fast. I love the "that was kind of a weak handshake" from phelps though. For anyone that hasn't seen it:Nyjah's 18 Stair Hammer [VIDEO] might as well watch his OMFG part too [VIDEO] 1 year anniversary yesterday.
