July 9 Danny Way is the first person to
jump across the Great Wall of China
without any motorized aid.
According to his sponsor-
Quiksilver- Way completed the stunt by
rolling down a huge ramp at nearly 50
miles an hour.
He blew the first landing, but made
the next three attempts- even adding
some 360-degree spins.
Although Way already held
skateboarding's height and distance
jump records, he says the sixty-one
foot jump had his heart pounding.
