Coaches note:  In his first year on the team Dan has been charging it with the adaptive athletes from the start.  Originally from the icy slopes on New Jersey, Dan moved to Park City to train with the team.  Dan's favorite things to ride are jumps and rails, and he has expanded his bag of tricks to include nosepresses, boardslides, front boards, frontside 180's and a few grabs.  He has been plagued by a few reoccurring injuries, but is coming back and working hard towards a good performance at nationals at the end of the year.  Dan is also close to mastering cab 180's, back 1's, some switch rail maneuvers, and is on his way to being a halfpipe slayer.  In addition, Dan is competing in an unheard of 5 events at nationals!!!!  Look out!
