DANNY WAY IS INDUCTED INTO THE SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME

Four Skateboarders from Four Decades

October 26, 2009 – Vista, CA – DC’s Danny Way was honored and inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame at the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) first annual ceremony and fundraiser on October 24 with fellow skateboarding icons: Bruce Logan, Tony Alva and Tony Hawk from four decades of the world’s best.

“Danny has been with DC since its inception in 1993 and has been an integral part of shaping the brand,” said Kelly Magrath, DC Vice President of Marketing.  “He is truly an icon and has single handedly redefined the boundaries of vert skateboarding by taking it to the next level with his creation and domination of the Mega Ramp.  We are very proud of his induction into the Hall of Fame and honored to have him in the DC family.”

Way’s skateboarding accomplishments are endless.  The DC Video which was released in 2003 featured Way skating a never before seen vert ramp adaptation, the Mega Ramp that would forever change the limits of vert skateboarding.  In July of 2005 DC and Way later took the Mega Ramp to China where Danny became the first person ever to jump the Great Wall on a skateboard.

In his years of skating, Way has achieved seven world records in total, including longest distance on a skateboard, height out of a ramp and highest air on a skateboard, which are featured in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Outside of these records, Way has had numerous industry honors bestowed on him. To date, he stands as the only person to receive Thrasher’s highly coveted Skater of the Year Award twice, once in 1991 and again in 2004. Way continues to progress skateboarding with his tireless dedication and passion for the sport.

Proceeds from the IASC event ticket sales and auction items benefited the Go Skateboarding Foundation.  The non-profit organization provides positive educational experiences, career-minded programming, and scholarships for skateboarders. The foundation also donates to various skateboard-related charities, including: The Tony Hawk Foundation, Ray Underhill, the Johnny Romano Foundation, and the Patrick Kerr Foundation.  In addition to a live musical performance at the ceremony, hundreds of guests from the skate community had the opportunity to bid on a large selection of invaluable memorabilia at both a silent and live auction.  To learn more, please visit .
