Its not everyday that a skateboarder gets profiled in Men’s Journal magazine and usually its not someone like Danny Way. But as the article states, “He has never courted the celebrity that Tony Hawk or […] Ryan Sheckler enjoy, but after images of him spinning a backside-360 over the [Great] wall appeared everywhere from the South China Morning Post to The Daily Show, the door to mainstream culture swung wide open.”

Check out the in-depth article on Danny at Men’s Journal and learn more about the legendary mad man.
