    re the gran bounand: for the real trainspotters there is a hosoi pic blasting there (maybe in a TWS) and you can see a young and dumb-struck curtis mccann sitting on the ground gaping

    Imagine how much better (if that's possible) Video Days would have been with Danny Way (No disrespect to Jordan Richter). Always wanted one of those I Heart Slayer t's, but had to settle with a 'Ravers Suck'. Awesome post! One of my all time favourite vert skaters (just behind Tas Pappas). And just a footnote me and Danny are the exact same age 15/04/1974. When are you going to do a Tas Pappas post?

    Always liked that DW Volkswagen board. Was that his last H-Street board?

    HHQ: Why did Danny Way and all those Red Dragons guys all become so bro in the last decade. It's all about bison burgers, lifting weights and fighting!

    Always love seeing coverage of Danny PRE-Evel Knievel daredevil guy.

    Don't get me wrong, I love seeing him do the crazy stuff, but he was super talented long before helicopter and Hard Rock drops, and I'd hate for that to be his legacy in skating...that would suck.

    Anon and Vas--Danny talked a lot about that DW/VW board in one of the last two issues of "Skateboarder" magazine--said he felt it was the street shape that was stolen by a few other guys right afterwards.

    So maybe Anon #2 is right--he may just be a bit cocky---then again, if you suck, it's cocky---if you back it up--you're merely confident--remember that kids.

    I heart slayer
    ravers suck
    whipped

    Plan B had some weird shirts.

    Eiffel tower shot is one of the best ever. You can see D-Way skating around in the background of some of Gonz's video days footage at those Eiffel banks.

    I don't remember what he's doing down the small Carlsbad gap on the tws cover.

    I love that you can see the word CHROME on the side of Remy's helmet in the Kona shot.
