Bio:
A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Daniel now calls Woodward, Pennsylvania home. Daniel exploded onto the scene just a few years ago. After two summers learning in the foam pits, resin ramps, and terrain at Camp he hit the Park contest circuit in 2006, instantly finding success. Three Dew Tour podiums, a Bronze medal at X Games 12, and a Bronze at Asian X was followed by more Dew Tour podiums, a Gold at X Games 13, and a Gold at 2007’s Asian X. A contest phenom indeed.
