DC has added Daniel Dhers to its elite BMX team. Daniel said: "Being on DC is a crazy experience. I'm good friends with everyone on the team and I'm so excited and happy to have the opportunity to ride for a brand that I really believe in. We have an opprtunity to do some great things together in the future." Some riders hit the BMX scene and surprise everyone. Daniel straight up exploded onto the scene. Growing up in Venezuela, his riding was disrupted by skate park closures, family moves, and other distractions as a youngster. In response, Daniel made the trek north to Woodward Camp in Pennsylvania in 2004 in search of an atmosphere more conducive to BMX riding. After two summers learning in the foam pits, resi ramps, and terrain at Camp, he hit the Park contest circuit in 2006, instantly finding success. Three Dew Tour podiums, a bronze medal at X Games 12, and a Bronze at Asian X was followed by more Dew Tour podiums, a Gold at X-Games 13, and a Gold at 2007's Asian X. Daniel has become an instant contest threat.
