		But just as everyone came to grips with Danny Way's mortality, his spectacular fourth run reminded everyone at the Staples Centre why the world-record holder is one of the few who rides like a god on a skateboard.
		The run rocketed Danny Way from fifth to first place, thanks to a 70-plus foot frontside 360 into a Christ air near the 20-foot range and the combination launched him a full 50 feet in the air.
		But once Danny Way nailed that fourth run, all hope of Pierre-Luc Gagnon adding a second gold to his X Games take were rapidly destroyed.

	brianberge: I Wanna Try Danny Way's Mega Ramp
		Danny Way spent about $100,000 building 48- & 64-foot-tall drop ins, to about 12-foot-tall launch ramps that clear 60- & 75-foot gaps (& then hit a 27-foot tall quarter-pipe).
		Although it's got such a huge tranny, it's got to be somewhat easy to find a place to stick your kneepads on the way down, and even though you're going faster, it's probably a smoother glide down to the flat than a tighter/smaller ramp.
		fuck all u guys who try and make it technical the point is danny way is fucking awesome and holds the world record for longest and highest air wich none of u pathetic assholes are ever ganna break.

	Danny Way \| Outside Online
		In June 2003, Way set two back-to-back world records in a single jump at a mega–skate ramp in Temecula, California: First he landed a 75-foot-long backside 360 over a 40-foot gap, with the momentum carrying him into the vert pipe, where he soared to 23.5 feet of vertical.
		This August, he wowed audiences at the X Games in Los Angeles by breaking his own world record with a practice jump of 79 feet—and then going on to win the big-air ramp event.
		Needless to say, it can be messy work: In the past year, Way has received 25 stitches on his right elbow, ripped off all the skin on his stomach, and been knocked unconscious twice.

		That’s what I remember of Danny when he was, like, 10 years old: just hungry and wanted to skate vert.
		I remember seeing his big 17- and 18-footer, and just being like, “Wow, that’s huge.” But then when he took it to another level, when he calculated it in his mind that this will work, and then people were behind him to make it happen—and then he did it.
		Matt Hensley: When we were 13 Damon was the man. Danny had skills, but Damon was the ruler.
