Notable:
Danny Kass is one of the most technically progressive pipe riders in the world. The first to string back-to-back inverted 1080s - which he did on his way to winning the U.S. Open for the second time in 2002. He brought home an Olympic silver medal and signed a corporate deal with Nestea. Kass has one of the cleanest styles in competition today.

Quote:
Dan says of his older brother Matt, "He just really got me started in competing when I was about 12. We'd always go up to either the [USASA] Mid-Atlantic or Green Mountain series. Then he moved away when he turned 18. That's right around when he started turning pro. But he was always down for me going out to Mammoth and riding with him."
