Jumping The Great Wall of China
From the Great Wall Facts: In 2005 during a sponsored event the skateboarder Danny Way, 31 from California, steamed down a massive ramp at 50 mph and flew across the Great Wall of China becoming the first un-motorized person to clear the wall. He made the jump five times in front of a crowd of several thousand Chinese dignitaries and officials. The event was not open to the general public.
Two years earlier Wang Jiaxiong from northwest China's Shaanxi province fell to his death while trying to jump over the Great Wall on his bike.
