More Looking At Websites

Another website I look at a fair amount is the DC website. This again is again because I follow the skate scene along with a touch of snow boarding and motocross. I am also a fan of Ken Block's Gymkhana videos and this website has it all. I also like the way this site has many photo's and videos as they are of sports I am interested in.
It has now also began to showcase the last 20 years of professional skateboarder Danny Way, who happens has skated professionally since he was 14 and gone on to break world records for the highest backside air out of a quater pipe, measuring 23.5 ft, also setting the long distance record with a backside 360 at 75 ft, largest bomb drop from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 100 ft into a 40 ft ramp, gapping the great wall of China as well as breaking the land speed on a skateboard at 74 mph.
Because of these achievements he has become extremely well known and websites use this to draw attention to audiences. This also supports the reason I have decided to focus on images and videos rather than large amounts of text to read.

Danny Way also has his own website, documenting on all his latest and oldest news including photos and videos. This site is also Black which in my opinion looks much better.


Now that I have already built a simple website which is shown as print screens in the post below, I can now begin to make it more unique to me, adding images and videos.

Danny Way Official Website

The reason for this post is to determine my audience. I aim to target an audience that has similar interests to me, as the videos and images I put on my website will mainly be of skating.
