Waiting for Lightning Page #9

place to be.

It's full of uncertainty,

it's full of challenge,

it can be full

of disappointment,

and Danny's one of those people

that can live in that space.

You get yourself

all the way to the top

of the mountain,

and what's left but lightning?

And that, to me,

just says Danny.

What are you doing?

But what else

is left for you?

When he makes it,

you're emotionally involved.

Everyone there was.

Congratulations, Danny!

You're great!

I was so scared, I held

my breath all the way.

How do you feel?

I think I'm more scared

than you are, for sure.

So, are you satisfied

with this jump?

It felt great. I'm going to take another

jump just for personal satisfaction.

A lot of the people

that were doing that event

were just like,

"What's going on?

Why would he

do it again?"

But that's Danny.

Twenty-five million people

learned what makes Danny Way

Danny Way live

on Chinese television.

To do that

takes such a great dream

and a dreamer.

It's the greatest expression

of freedom

in a land

that is so controlled.

It makes you realize

anything's possible.

There are

only three people

with their name in gold

on the Great Wall,

and Danny's one of them.

And that, to me,

is so incredible.

My son has his name

on the Great Wall of China.

When he'd used to say crazy

things, I'd laugh and stuff.

I don't doubt anything

that he says

when it comes

to skateboarding anymore,

and I never will again.

Where we came from had everything

do with kind of who we are.

People didn't like

people from Vista.

We felt like we

had more to prove.

Danny's proved it.

He did it for himself.

He really did.

And now he always tries

to make the sport

better and better

and better

'cause he knows

what it did for him.

What all the reasons are,

he may not know every reason,

but for whatever the reasons

are that made him feel good,

he wants other children

to experience that love

and that great feeling

of just going out and skating.

I don't think

I've been satisfied ever.

There's always an urge

to do something

above and beyond

what you've done before.

The new territory,

you know,

the land of the unknown,

the experimenting

with things that

could seem impossible

and defining it's possible,

those are the things

that drive me.

At the end of the day,

that's all that drives me.
