July 9,2005 (that's right—it's a day later there) - Asia Times
SYDNEY - Quiksilver, Global Village Media Group and MegaRamp Events recently announced their sponsorship of world skateboarding champion Danny Way's attempt to jump across the Great Wall of China on Saturday in Beijing.
Numerous jumps of The Great Wall have been attempted over the years, some more successful than others including an horrific BMX accident that left one man dead in 2002, but Way will be the first to attempt the jump on a skateboard. "I am aware of the dangers but I am also excited to be achieving a life-long goal and honored to have my visions embraced by the people of China," said Way. ¶ 3:32 PM
