That moment was carried all the way through 1994 until Ternasky was tragically killed in a car accident. The news greatly affected all of the Plan B team and even through the best efforts of Danny Way and Colin McKay, who took over ownership, to keep Plan B together, Plan B soon disappeared from the scene.

Plan B disappeared from the scene for 10 years, then in 2005 Danny Way and Colin Mckay started the company back up by again building it with the industries top skaters. Plan B is once again near the top of the best skateboarding brands and best skateboarding teams. Their pro riders are Danny Way, Colin Mckay, PJ Ladd, Ryan Gallant, Brian Wenning, Pat Duffy, Paul Rodriguez, Jereme Rodgers and Ryan Sheckler.

In this years 2008 X Games Danny way put on one of the most spectacular performances of all time in the big air competition. On Way's second attempt he crashed his feet and shins into the coping on the way down in brutal fashion. No one thought he would be able to continue but in true Danny Way fashion he stood up and walked off the ramp. Not only that, he got back up on top of the ramp to finish out his last 3 big air attempts. Reports later concluded that Danny had broken his foot on that 2nd attempt, but then went on to land attempts 3 and 5 with a broken foot. Danny ended up walking away with the silver medal. Ryan Sheckler took home the gold medal in the street skate competition in the same x games.
