The Most Iconic Moments In Olympic Halfpipe History
Nail biting finishes, classic haircuts and the most underwhelming pipe run of all time
A two-time Olympic silver medallist, successful business owner, reality TV show star and all round snowboarding legend. Danny Kass is a jack of all trades and a master of most.
He’s won seven X games medals and combines technical prowess with effortless style to throw down on any terrain. He likes to get loose, but don’t let this party boy image fool you though; he has his head screwed on and runs the extremely successful Grenade Gloves company.
After his epic 2001 season where he won four Grand Prix golds, the X Games and the US Open, Danny was almost arrested for underage drinking after putting away most of his sponsor’s beer at an industry convention. A few years later he was arrested twice in New Zealand, once for possession and another time for driving his van up a ski run in Cardrona. This loose canon spirit is part of what makes Danny so popular and has ensured him a cult following amongst riders who want to put two fingers up to the establishment.
