Notable:
Finishing 11th at XG 2002 was not what Danny wanted, but at least it kept him in the game. After not skating from 1996-2001, Danny is the only skater at XG '03 without a single sponsor. Watch out for him in Vert Best Trick, though. He has already won both the SCJ and Mobile Skatepark Series (Cincinnati) vert best trick contests in 2003 with a kickflip McTwist.

After taking 5 years off from skateboarding, he says, "I figured out that I should try to skateboard again and give it one more good shot. I figured if I didn't do it, I would be bummed later in life. [I had to] take the talent I got and try to make the best of it. I'm glad I fully gave it another shot. I'm having more fun than I ever had. It definitely worked out."
