Danny Way: the record-breaking skateboarding experimentalist
When you think about a skateboarder who has pushed the limits of the sport, it's inevitable to mention Danny Way.
He's never been obsessed with world records, even though they tend to get in his way.
Danny Way was born on April 15, 1974, in Portland, Oregon, and grew up in San Diego, California. His upbringing was overshadowed by a series of challenging events.
Tragically, Danny's father, Dennis Way, passed away when Danny was less than a year old.
Dennis, having been imprisoned due to unpaid child support to a former spouse, was found deceased in his cell after nine days, in what was determined to be a suicide.
In the years that followed, Danny, alongside his brother Damon, experienced further turmoil.
Their mother, Mary, entered relationships with several men who were abusive towards her and her sons.
Eventually, Mary remarried Tim O'Dea, who played a pivotal role in introducing Danny and Damon to the world of skateboarding and surfing.
However, this period of stability was short-lived as the marriage ended

Danny Way started skateboarding at age six at the Del Mar Skateboard Ranch. By 11, he won the first contest he ever entered. Since then, Danny has been pushing boundaries, shattering records, and progressing the sport like very few others in the game. Growing up in Vista, California with his brother Damon, and left much to his won devices, Danny was free to ride motorcycles, shoot guns, skate, and fine-tune his skills on and off his skateboard. With a head for business led by his heart, he’s brought companies he’s ridden for up with him, leaving a legacy with each partnership. As a professional skateboarder for the past 20 years and one of the most dedicated athletes in any sport, Danny lives life on his own terms.
Famously tough as nails, injuries that would end careers only seem to feed Danny’s will to overcome them. He’s proof that all is, in fact, mind over matter. Just a few of Danny’s accomplishments include breaking the world’s record for biggest air with a 12-foot kickflip (1997), breaking his own biggest air record, at 23.5 feet (
