DC Shoes just put out a little video about Danny Way’s new mega ramp he built in Kauai, Hawaii. Check this thing out!

DC Shoes and Jocob Rosenberg had a screening of their documentary on Danny Way “Waiting For Lighting“. Hands down the most amazing film I’ve seen in skateboarding. It will bring you to the reason you started skating and the reason you’re still in love with it. The who’s who of the skateboard, snowboard, surf, motocross, and celebrity industry made it down to the Arclight Theater in Hollywood to see the screening. Check out the photos from the night.

The Roosevelt Hotel is pretty badass.

Try to find this photo somewhere else. Honestly, I think we’re the only ones that were able to get a photo of Danny Way and Tommy Lee. Pretty sick.

DC Shoes owner Ken Block is getting amped to see his boy Danny’s video.

So many people came out to see the screening of Waiting For Lighting.

Even more people behind me waiting to get there tickets.

Going to be honest, this is hands down the best and most moving film I’ve seen in a long time. It made me so proud to be apart of skateboarding. Thank you Danny Way!
