			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some pictures of the Tony Hawk Jeep Wrangler Rubicon At The LA Auto Show 2008. We caught up with the builder Eric Scott who was kind enough to explain the vehicle to us a little bit. The jeep was built as a marketing vehicle for the Tony Hawk tour primarily because Jeep is a sponsor of the tour and they wanted to do something different. Here are a few of the things Eric and his team did to customize the vehicle.</p>
<p>1) They sprayed the entire vehicle with the rhino liner which is very durable and has a black matte finish.<br />
2) Custom Tires and Rims and a suspension system<br />
3) Put a Mopar basket on the top and put Tony Hawk skateboards on the sides and they also put 7 green skateboard decks on the front with two helmets on the end to represent the jeep grill.<br />
4) There are two Xbox 360&#8217;s on either side loaded up with Tony Hawk&#8217;s Proving ground so the kids can play the game while they are at the show.</p>
<p>Here are a few pictures of the vehicle and a video clip of Eric explaining what he did to the vehicle as well as how the people interacted with the vehicle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a little background information about <strong>Danny Way</strong>. Danny went pro in 1989 at the age of 15 and was a child prodigy. To this day he is well known for his technical innovation and for paving the way of skateboarding over-sized structures.</p>
<p>In addition to being the only person to ever leap from a helicopter onto a vert ramp on a <strong>skateboard</strong>, Way has also set and broken six world records. He currently holds the world records for highest air out of a quarterpipe at 23-feet, 6-inches, and distance on a skateboard at 79-feet. He set the last record in 2004 at X Games X with officials from Guinness World Record on-hand.</p>
<p>Danny has had some personal setbacks and they come along with the job. Some of those setbacks include a broken neck in 1994, a dislocated shoulder, and injuries requiring seven surgeries between 1999 and 2002. Way has continually proven his athletic skills as well as his dedication to the progression of his sport. Highly regarded within the action sports community as a pioneer and a visionary, Danny has repeatedly challenged the limitations set by other athletes and himself, breaking his own records when no one else could.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com/blog/2008/07/11/radically-extreme-the-danny-way/helicopter/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-362" title="Danny Way Bomb Drops from Helicopter into a Half pipe" src="http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/helicopter.jpg" alt="Danny Way Bomb Drops from Helicopter into a Half pipe" width="400" height="610" /></a></strong><br />
<strong>Danny Way Bomb Drops from Helicopter into a Half pipe</strong><br />
In 1997 Danny Way broke the world record for highest air at 16 feet 6 inches. Then after he broke that record, he bomb-dropped out of a hovering helicopter into the same monstrous ramp just for fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com/blog/2008/07/11/radically-extreme-the-danny-way/china/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-363" title="Danny Way Jumps the Great Wall of China" src="http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/china.jpg" alt="Danny Way Jumps the Great Wall of China" width="400" height="253" /></a><br />
<strong>Danny Way Jumps the Great Wall of China</strong><br />
Danny Way already held the world records for distance (24 meters / 79 feet) and unaided height (7.14 meters / 23.5 feet) while skateboarding, but that wasn&#8217;t enough. Today, Danny Way set a new world record. Danny Way is the first person to leap the wall without a motor vehicle and land successfully.</p>
