Jumping the Great Wall....

danny way

Posted by Picasa
well this one just had to be added to the blog de chacha. one of my favorite extreme sports is skateboarding and DCShoeCo is one of my favorite brands and sponsors for this great sport. danny way, pictured above, is probably one of the most talented skaters out there, next to my man bob burnquist of course. sorry danny, bobs been my guy for as long as i can remember. back to the matter at hand, danny is hoping to set a record by jumping over the Great Wall of China on his skateboard. i actually saw a news interview a couple weekends ago about danny and his big jump. he actually has had practice with this on a huge drop in set up that leads right to a vert ramp thats he got out where he lives. supposedly they are going to be airing this live on either cnn or espn, one of those stations, but no times are scheduled that i know of right now. im sure the news and the internet will have something after the jump to put out there for us to check out. if you want more info on this amazing attempt, just go here and read the article or go and check out danny ways official site. i will definately keep my fingers crossed for danny and hope that he not only makes it, but lands safely on the other side. good luck danny and make skateboarding history, next to hawks 900 and burnquists completed death loop.

Rock on! Danny Way rocks and so does DCShoeCo! You can stream live footage but for the east coast its running at 5:30 am! I may just have to be awake for this. Dannys crazy with his jumps, always looking for something bgger and better to jump. Oh yeah i keep forgetting to tell you...Bob was on Viva La Bam and they aired it almost every night last week! Crazyness. Bobs a hoot! Crazy Brazilian!
