Danny Way is in my eyes one of the craziest skateboarders out there he specializes in Vert and also in the Mega ramp. He began skating in 1978 and turned pro in 1989. He is a modern day dare devil. He is the first man to jump the great wall with a non mororized object. Danny Way Skateboarding Career Highlights: 1991 - won Thrasher Skater of the Year 1995 - won gold at X Games High Air (not Big Air) 1995 - broke his neck surfing 2000 - first of 7 knee surgeries. Danny's ACL has been replaced 3 times 2003-2004 - won Trans World Skateboarding Best Vert Skater (both years) 2004 - won Thrasher Skater of the Year (first skater to win this award twice) 2004-2005 - won gold at Big Air competition at X Games (both years) 2005 - jumped Great Wall of China (first non-motorized jump of wall in history) Danny Way Interesting Fact: Danny Way is a Co-Founder of DC Shoe Co USA (the "D" of DC). Danny Way Quote: "That's what we're operating on today!" Danny Way said this as he pulled off his sock and put his bruised, bloated, fractured ankle on the table in the press room at X Games 11, right after winning gold on the mega ramp. Danny originally fractured his ankle a few weeks prior, when jumping the Ju Yu Gong Gate, of the Great Wall of China. |
