If China can build a Great Wall so can America.
I realize this has nothing to do with skateboarding, but we are talking about walls after all.

Skateboarding is his job. Beats working for a living.

Karl Rove is behind this, I'm sure. :-)

Daredevil 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, an event sponsor said. How many have tried this and failed?

How many have tried this and failed? Only one other person has tried to jump the Wall, the late Chinese skateboarder Wen Tu Lo, whose unsuccessful attempt earned him the nickname, "Mural."

Skateboarding is his job. Beats working for a living.No doubt. It's also no doubt he's one of those 44 million people Nancy Pelosi loses sleep over because he has no health care or retirement savings.
In other words, a typical lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing RAT constituent.

If he ain't wearing the uniform, he's a pussie.

I'm guessing he makes significantly more than most FReepers. Dan has some very large ones.

How many have tried this and failed? Actually, besides Wen Tu Lo, I believe there was one other attempt:

Heh, this job sounds like something they'd cook up in a country with a really overbloated government, like in say... the U.S.!
