Danny Way (born on April 4, 1974 in Portland, Oregon) is a professional skateboarder. He rode for Powell Peralta in the late 1980s. He was featured, with Bucky Lasek in very short segment in the Powell video "Public Domain." Soon after Way left Powell to ride for H-Street, and then rode for Blind from 1990-1991, but soon left to join the founder of H-Street to begin a new company called Plan B Skateboards. He is married to Kari Way and has two sons Ryden and Tavin Way. Outnumberstore.com has the new Special Collaboration DC shoes Danny Way with Atmos Tokyo in Japan.
DC and Atmos Tokyo have decided to do a collaboration and create a sneaker, with two color ways. They decided to do it the Danny Way style. Danny Way, if you people don’t know is an amazing skateboarder who actually did an ollie over the Great Wall of China. Trust me that’s not something that is done easily but he accomplished it. Anyways back to the shoe. These sneakers have a mix color way which I actually like. What I mean is if you look at the shoe it looks like they just threw on some purple, black, light purple, teal all into the mix and it makes the shoe look great. If you wanna purchase these $100 sneakers OutNumber has them available right now!
Colin McKay began skating in 1986 and honed and progressed his skateboard skills at Kevin Harris' Richmond Skate Ranch. McKay was sponsored by Powell Peralta and made his video debut in the Bones Brigade Video 4, "Public Domain". He progressed quickly as an amateur vert skater and had a groundbreaking video part in Powell's 1990 film "Propaganda". His style of technical lip tricks helped progress vertical skateboarding, and McKay would remain a top amateur skater on the contest circuit until he turned professional in 1993.
Towards the end of 1991, Colin McKay left Powell Peralta to join the preeminent Plan B Skateboards team, a new company formed by Mike Ternansky, Steve Rocco, and Danny Way. McKay's inclusion on Plan B helped him sustain a career in skateboarding during its drought in the early 1990s. The company's 1992 video "Questionable" had compelling street skating parts from all of their team riders, including McKay, which raised the bar on his relevance. This formula was repeated for Plan B's next video "Virtual Reality" in 1993. Plan B would lose its dominance in the years following, but thanks to ESPN's X Games, top vert riders like McKay got to keep their profiles raised and their careers alive as skateboarding regained in popularity. Plan B was shut down and McKay jumped to Girl Skateboards and then Seek Skateboards.
In 2005, McKay and Way resurrected Plan B. Colin McKay remains a top force in the world of vertical skateboarding today and is an original rider and share-owner of the skateboard footwear company (DC Shoes), and is part owner of RDS (Red Dragon Skateboards), RDS Skate Supply, and Centre Distribution. He is currently sponsored by Independent Trucks, as well as maintaining a pro model on Plan B, and signature model shoes with DC available at Outnumberstore.com.
