A friend of mine just got back from China.  He went to the Great Wall while he was there.  I'd really like to see that thing one day.  Anyway, back in 2006 Danny Way jumped over the wall on a skateboard.  This is old news really but I watched a video recently which went into the details of the jump.  Danny Way is amazing.  I can't handle a 5 foot quarter pipe and he rides mega ramps like its nothing.  Here is the video that I watched...

Also Thrasher Magazine is in the process of picking its Skater of the Year.  They'll announce the winner this Friday (November 21st).  So far a lot of pro skaters have been giving their thoughts on who are the top 3 skaters of 2008 and Silas Baxter-Neal is a name that they keep on mentioning.  I didn't know much about this guy so I looked him up on Youtube and this is what I found....

I'll let you know who Thrasher picks as their SOTY 2008.  Meanwhile, go and skate (or ride bikes) and have fun!
