What can you say about a guy who skateboards at 45 feet high and comes crashing down to grace hitting the ground with his feet and his sneakers literally come off his feet at the 2007 X Games. You would say he was crazy, but not in Dogtown. Danny Way is a god to the skateboard community. Not bad for a guy who skates to death’s eye and came out of his exploits with 13 serious operations. He will be joining the broadcast booth this year’s X Games supplying commentary for his creation, the skateboard Big Air competition. Many are speculating that they he might hang up his skateboard. People like Danny cannot be put down, once you dance the death waltz you have to go back to dance floor and try to come back alive. This is the whole trip, bringing back your mortal coil in one piece or at least all the king’s men can hopefully put it back together.
