Doing it the Danny Way
Danny Way goes over the Wall
On July 9th 2005 Daredevil Skateboarer Danny Way rode the largest ramp ever built and also managed to do a 360 air over the one of the wonders of the world. Ollieing the Great Wall of China, a ludicrous sounding dare sponsored by DC shoes (which was co founded by “D”anny) , and he had a broken ankle at the time from an earlier failed attempt.

At 31 Danny Way had already led a colourful life with two world records care of his own creation the aptly titled Megaramp. The records one for ramp to ramp (65ft) and the other for highest air (23.5ft) both broken on the same day June 6th 2003.
Danny goes for the biggest air ever off the megaramp.
Since then Danny has gone on to take home a pair of X-Games Gold Medals in the Big Air competition. Earning a reputation for his dedication, at this years Games he broke his foot in a violent stack but still managed to out skate the competition and seal a Silver medal.

His achievements come as no surprise though when you look at his resume and notice he was enlisted into the coveted Bones Brigade at just 14 years old. Winning his first vert competition a year later, in 1994 he broke his neck in a freak surf accident.
Still he healed quickly and within 12 months had won the Tampa Pro Vert Tournament. A poster boy for conquering pain Danny Way makes sure his stunts are memorable. Doing a 24 foot bomb drop in from the Hard Rock Café Guitar proving that his aggressive techniques shine through when the cameras are snapping.
