DC Shoes: Rediscover Dreams

I’m a huge fan of skate­board­ing, DC Shoes and fol­low­ing your dreams.  For a while now, DC has been cre­at­ing this series enti­tled “Redis­cover” and the lat­est install­ment is Redis­cover Dreams, and fol­lows on the heels of the DC Shoes movie pre­miere of Danny Way’s doc­u­men­tary Wait­ing for Light­ning.  Redis­cover Dreams gives us a look into what has been going on in the back­yard of Mr. Way over the past cou­ple of years, and might I say it’s epic.

DC Presents: Waiting for Lightning–The Danny Way Documentary

I remem­ber the first time I heard the name Danny Way.  It was 1996, I had just got my first skate­board and some­one in my crew was talk­ing about a skater who broke his back surf­ing, and con­tin­ued to shred on a skate­board a few long months later.  That skater was Danny, and years later I’d come to learn that a bro­ken back was just one of a count­less num­ber of injuries that could’ve eas­ily ended an aver­age per­sons car­reer, but not Danny Ways.

So, if you’re like me and couldn’t make it to Hol­ly­wood last night, then you missed pre­miere for the long awaited doc­u­men­tary enti­tled “Wait­ing for Light­ning” which doc­u­ments Ways early years, and his ground break­ing career on 4 wheels.

Not to fret though, because thanks to Face­books newest ille­git­i­mate child-Instagram, we can see how the night unfolded through the lens of some of skate­board and Hol­ly­woods elite.  Enjoy.
