Skateboarder Danny Wray on Saturday became the first person to

jump across the Great Wall of China without motorized aid.



He rolled down a massive ramp at nearly 50 mph and jumped across

the 61 foot gap four times, doing 360 degree spins on his last three

tries.

When I watch them I wonder when they will completely defy gravity. It’s a long way from the skateboard I had in the early 60s. We thought we were good if we could get to the bottom of the driveway without breaking an arm or something.
