Notable:
His vision, his gold. When Danny envisioned the Mega Ramp in 2002, he wanted to go farther and higher than any other skater in history. At XG Big Air 2004, he went farther (79-ft for the Guinness World Record), plus he was the only skater to use the 60-ft roll-in. Taking skating to the next level with Big Air also won Way the Thrasher Skater of the Year award for 2004, the first time in history it has ever been handed out to the same skater twice (he also won in 1991).
Inspired by Danny Way, the Big Air ramp will showcase the talents of one of the most influential skaters in history. In 2002, Danny had a vision and that vision turned into the Mega Ramp (at Point X camp in Aguanga, CA), where he broke two records, back-to-back in June 2003. He sailed 75' from takeoff to landing for the first record while performing a 720, and then hit the monsterous quarterpipe (27' ) to break the highest air record at 23' 5".
After a string of shoulder and knee surgeries in 2000, Danny is back on the ramp, with the help of a synthetic ACL. He is focused on filming for his DC Shoes video part and is taking the time to make sure he is fully recovered for the X Games. During his absence from the contest scene he got married and is expecting another child.

来自美国的职业滑板传奇人物Danny Way于7月9日下午16时用滑板飞跃了长城居庸关。许多人想他才是一个真的汉子,一直就是人们的偶像。Danny Way曾借助滑板飞高12英尺并进行空中翻腾,打破了世界滑板飞高纪录。他也是滑板跨度世界纪录保持者。喜欢挑战的他曾从直升飞机上跳入滑道,成为全球唯一一个“从飞机上滑下来”的选手。六岁玩滑板至今,极限运动为这个“老男孩”带来一身伤痕的同时也为他打下千万身家,目前他已是拥有滑板学校、滑板制造工厂、滑板俱乐部的阔老板。然而即使这样也无法熄灭他挑战极限的冲动,7月9日北京长城居庸关,Danny Way再次向极限发起冲击,打破了他自己在2004年洛杉矶X-game上创下的世界记录(高23.5英尺)。
