Danny Davis wins Mammoth


Mammoth Lakes, CA - Michigan native Danny Davis has just done the unimaginable. Danny has become the first snowboard athlete to nail three doubles in one run. “That was the best halfpipe run I have ever done,” said Davis after he put down a landmark run that included three double corks-a personal and contest first. And it was clearly devoted to good friend Kevin Pearce who is recovering from a serious snowboard injury. Davis said he was connected with Kevin on a spiritual level and it gave him confidence and good vibes on the hill today. The win meant many things to him, but overall he was “just stoked to make everyone smile”. This is a huge accomplishment leading into the Vancouver Olympics. The US team has not been chosen yet as they still have three more Grand Prix events. Danny will be competing again this week here in Mammoth, CA.
