Celebrating Danny Way

 

This month Danny Way turns 20 years old - in skate years, that is. The fine folks over at DC Shoes are honoring the iconic skater with a celebration of Way's professional career through classic videos and photos.

The guy is pretty much the Godfather of modern-day skating in part to his help in developing the MegaRamp. Not to mention being the first person to jump the Great Wall of China.

The recognition is well deserved, Danny.

Get in on the fun.

Your Wildest Dreams Come True

The La Casa del Camino hotel in Laguna Beach is unveiling 10 action-sports-themed suites Wednesday, including design and decor by Etnies, Billabong, Lost International, Rip Curl and Quiksilver.

The project was created by Riviera Magazine and is similar to hotel projects of the same mold previously done in Big Bear and Mammouth Lakes. Everything in the rooms has been donated by the sponsors, with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity of each companies choosing.

From $249-$500 a night it won't be cheap staying in one of these rooms, but it's not very often you get a bathroom sink shaped like a skate bowl.

DC And Ken Block Back At It Again

This beast-like machine is the TRAX STI, the newest creation from DC and Ken Block. Basically, it is Block's standard Subaru WRX STI, except the tires have been replaced with snow cat tracks and an upgraded suspension better suited for the winter terrain.

Apparently there will be a matching sleigh to be pulled behind the car which is made to hold up to four snowboarders and their gear. Backcountry boarding just got taken to a whole new level.

As expected, a movie of this monstrosity in action is on it's way. In the meantime, you can get a sneak peak with this teaser video.
