Danny Says Goodbye to Pro SkatingIn some sad but understandable news, Danny Gonzalez has decided to retire from the world of professional skateboarding due to some leg and ankle problems that just won’t go away. Although his body can’t handle the stress of being a pro, it sounds like he’ll continue skating for fun – skating’s true purpose.

It doesn’t look good. I recently found out my ankle is off set to the right. Which means my knee can’t take impact because I don’t have a good base.

We’re wishing the best for him, and hope he can continue the love of skating that we all share, even if he isn’t labeled “pro.” The news came out from Jart, head on over for the full announcement.
