I couldn't find an Englisch version of the article, but here is the German one. Just click on the pictures and marvel. The guy in question is called Danny Way. With the help of a giant ramp and with only a skateboard under his feet, he jumped 24.07 meters wide and 7.14 meters high, breaking his own world record in the process. Nobody has ever crossed the Chinese Wall like that before.

Amazing, isn't it, what people do just for the fun of it?

Danny Way is incredible. I skateboard but I could never do what he does. He's dropped out of helicopters onto giant ramps and stuff. It's craaaazy.

Lucky the barbarian hordes were not equipped with skateboards and giant ramps or else the Great Wall would have been useless.

I'll be impressed when I see someone plainswalk the Great Wall. That would be awesome!

Someone already did that. David Coppefield walked right through it. An' he didn't need no fancy big ole ramps neither.

No, she did that herself. She quit eating and eventually just vanished into thin air.

Hey, I remember seeing this on TV when I was younger! Brings back memories...

He did make the Statue of Liberty disappear though. Claudia? He made her fly Razz
