Lofty Status

Danny had a stellar season in 2000-2001 winning the overall men’s U.S. Grand Prix

Halfpipe title, the X-Games Halfpipe and the U.S. Open Halfpipe competitions. He says

his biggest victory was the U.S Open and that he won it by going lofty and consistently

landing big tricks. His older brother, Matt, invented one of Danny’s signature moves. He

says the hardest tricks he does are the cab 1080 and back flip, which he lands more

consistently.
