DannywayIn another reminder that skateboarding over death-defying gaps on gut-wrenchingly huge megaramps can be dangerous, Danny Way has reportedly broken two vertebrae during practice last week for an even in Brazil (click here for the video), according to an Adam Sullivan story on Transworld Business.

While he will make a full recovery, doctors say Way will be sidelined for up to 6 months—which could be anywhere from 3-4 months in Danny Way time.
