I found this over at Skatedaily.net. They were really nice enough to put together a video containing many X-Games skaters a get well message to Johnny Romano. Check it out, it’s really cool.

After 14 X Games appearances, Run Glifberg has finally won his first gold medal -- and he had to do it on a course he didn't particularly like. The Dane won the inaugural Skateboard SuperPark in a close match against Andy Macdonald, who won his 17th overall X Games medal, ...
