Nalukai Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I know theres some skaters here which is why im postnig this... but for those of you who do not know who Danny Way is, he holds every world record on a board besides the first 900 landed-which he tried at the age of 17 and almost landed first try( he was the first ever to attempt it) anyway Danny being known as one of the greatest skaters ever throughout the community not only jumped the 62 foot wide Great Wall of China saturday on the new Quicksilver/DC super ramp second try.... but he also did a 360 over it the 3rd-6th try. you can check out the article of this here: http://www.dannyway.com and to give you an idea of just how wide this jump actually is here is the length to his double world record run- the 75 foot 360 into a 25 foot air on the 30 foot high vert wall: http://www.dannyway.com/_videos/worldrecord_line.mov if you also have time i also suggest watching the shorts of the tricks in this section: http://www.dannyway.com/media.php?page=2&event=&keywords= not only does he do a 720 at 65 feet, but he also does several rail tricks from a 40 foot gap on that same ramp, and the heelflip lipslide footage is also on that ramp- he hellflips the board 30 feet the lands on the rail and slides it across the rest of the mega ramp O_o... Agruments have risen up in other places that if he is sooo great why I havent heard of him??? well he preferres not to be on the circuit and stays away from those who have their head up tony hawks arse. enjoy the footage: if it doesnt work in firefox(some reason my quicktime is sticking in it) then switch to IE for a brief moment to view this amazing footage of skateboarding you would never believe would happen.

Alegis Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Of course Danny Way is the legend in jumping. The reason he does something stupid (Go to china for a jump? :\ ) like this to proove that again. The jump in the intro of that DC movie is much more extraordinary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Thats why whenever someone says that Tony Hawk is the best, I get pissed off, becuase danny way can kick him in the nutz. Mad propz to danny for doin this though, that takes some major balls. And to all those who say that that's stupid, you have to admit, that was a damn good jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalukai Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 i almost think that 45 foot heelflip to lipslide on the mega ramps arched handrail was better imo which is in the vid section as stated before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 That's pretty cool, but I wouldn't waste my time on skatboarding Games are so much cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I'm sure i remember a video of loads of people at a skate competition going mad cos Tony Hawk landed the first 900... was that after Danny had already done it then? Still... pretty cool trick. PS/ Great wall of china ROCKS!! One of my all-time most impressive places in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
