The beauty about it is that Danny actually broke his neck trying. The first time he went for it, he broke his neck. He obviously couldn't skate until it healed, but after it healed and he was able to skate, he went for it again and got it. Crazy huh?
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.

This is only a small update, i'm gathering some other pics to post, but here's a cool story. I was messing around at the local skate park one day, so marc (my buddy and photographer) took a photo of a frontside tailslide to fakie down a little ledge. I struggled, but i got it. He sent it to an american site called thrasher magazine. Thrasher is a magazine in the states and on their site, they take photos that were sent in and change them to look as if they're on the cover of the mag. Check it out:
Here's the original:
Here's what Thrasher did to it.
Cool huh?

Okay, i've been hunting for some more pics, but i don't have any, Marc has them all. But last week we skated at our local park (skatepark) and I got a backside feeble grind down this nice rail off a drop.
Okay, the first one i DIDN'T land, but i really like it:
The next one was a scary one. As soon as i locked on, the back wheel that holds the grind in place slipped off the rail! I almost got raped by a handrail!! I missed it by about 5cm!!
And here are two shots of Feebles that i landed:
What do you guys think?
