Waiting for Lightning

Running time: N/A

?Until you lose your fear of death, you cannot truly begin to live your life.?

Pro-skater Danny Way has a profound connection with his skateboard. As a child, given a handmade board from his step-father, Danny never looked back on his dream of turning pro. But growing up in an unstable family structure in Vista, California, Danny always felt like he had something to prove to his friends, family, and himself.

After turning pro at age 15, Danny lived the kind of life about which most children only dream: a reckless lifestyle, with no authority figure to tie him down, and money to blow. But secretly, his lack of a genuine mentor always caused him pain. From dealing with devastating losses of his family and friends, to potentially career ending injuries, Danny lives his life with a fearless passion to push the limits of what is humanly possible.

His mild-blowing innovations with a skateboard revolutionized the sport in ways no one thought possible. Waiting for Lighting documents the life of the legendary skateboarder and the days leading up to attempting to jump the Great Wall of China.
