"Skateboarding has yet to realize its full potential, and by bringing this event to the people of China and the rest of the world, I hope to contribute to the future of skateboarding and bring my sport the global attention it deserves," said Danny Way, Team Rider, DC Shoes. "I am aware of the dangers but I am also excited to be achieving a life-long goal, and honored to have my visions embraced by the people of China."

In 1993, Way was made DC's first team rider, and unveiled his signature shoe in 1994. Two years later, the company funded a custom 18-foot ramp at Brown Field outside of San Diego, where he broke the world record for highest air on a skateboard.

Quiksilver's sponsorship of the Great Wall of China MegaRamp Jump marks the first time DC and parent company Quiksilver have partnered efforts for a global skateboarding event.

"I am psyched to see Danny's vision come to fruition," said Ken Block, President, DC Shoes. "This is his biggest feat yet and I'm proud to see him accomplish this in China. The Great Wall Jump represents the ultimate culmination of his many ramps over the years."

Danny Way is no stranger to life's challenges. Since the age of six he has been well on his way to legendary skateboard status. As one of the youngest-ever professional and sponsored skateboarders at 14 years of age, Way has consistently pursued excellence. Despite personal setbacks and crippling injuries, Way has continually proven his ars."
