Danny Way

There are a couple of stories that are unexpected to me from people that I think most might not know.

One of them, unless you're like a subculture guy like me growing up, is from this skateboarder named Danny Way.

I'd say he's more of a daredevil than even a skateboarder.

We do these awards at Patel called the Icon Awards.

Recently had Kiki Palmer get an Icon Award.

So people that have transcended their craft, whatever industry that it was.

So Danny Way is kind of like the Tony Hawk, but maybe not as well known.

His dream was to jump over the Great Wall of China, which at the time, nobody had ever done.

Tune in today.

We're going to find out more about other crazy builds, especially the one I'm super stoked on, Danny Way jumping the Great Wall of China.

Welcome to the CoPro Podcast in Nemo World Headquarters.

And we started building ramps.

And so every year we got to build a new course for the X Games, which was pretty cool.

And then Danny Way came along.

I've heard of that guy.

It's like XYZ, Danny Way and everybody else, Colin and everybody.

And on

top of that, the filmer, like who actually filmed it.

They might've had a little tiny, I think they had a little tiny warehouse, and they were basically ready to go broke.

And Danny-

It's kind of how-

...

Okay.

So Danny Way, who is an American professional skater and inventor of the Mega Ramp, saw Brown in Melbourne...

while he was on a tour there and quickly became impressed with Brown's skill and encouraged him to move to the United States.

In a 2013 interview, Danny Way stated, "...the first time I met Jake, right then I knew this kid has got some crazy talent.

His ability to skate at 15 was abnormal, and it was obvious that Jake was going to be a future skateboarding star."

Was, like, the U.S. more the global capital of? At this time, for sure.

you know from the states yes um so maybe for him

to get noticed it was better for him to be in the and
