Skateboarder clears Great Wall of China
LOS ANGELES - Skateboarder Danny Way rolled down a massive ramp at nearly 50 mph and jumped across the Great Wall of China on Saturday, becoming the first person to clear the wall without motorized aid.
Way botched the landing on his first attempt but then successfully completed the jump across the 61-foot gap four times, adding 360 degree spins on his last three tries, according to sponsor Quiksilver Inc.
“I was aware of the dangers and my heart was pumping in my chest the whole time, but I managed to pull it off with the help of my team, and I’m honored to have my visions embraced by the people of China,” Way said in a statement.

I think it is great that he didn't just jump it once and call it a day. But he jumped it 5 times!!
Here is the link that shows videos of his 5 Jumps. Click on 'Videos', then 'Jump Clips Now Online'.

repost, but not really. There was a video of it posted earlier, but not with this much detail that takes some balls to do crazy p00p like that.

i dont think he wanted to land it on the way down cause this would have meant he had to go over the wall one more time.................
