Thank U Snowboarding - S1 - Ep18 - Danny Wheeler

Danny, for a long time, was far and away the most powerful stylish and progressive rider the UK had produced. He made his presence felt, not just in the UK scene, but internationally, with a heavy bag of tricks and a keen eye on what those tricks looked like.

From humble beginnings in Pontefract to a life travelling and snowboarding, filming wih an A list of snowboarders, living in the Alps, countless photos and video parts, to designing outerwear and making films, his career took him far and wide, with progression always on his mind.

After snowboarding, his desire for progression took him briefly into graphic design which morphed into an MA in Fine Art, at Chelsea. It woud seem his desire to do things to a high standard wasn't confined to snowboarding.

Its hard for me to sum up Dan, he has been a great friend to me over the years, I've had some of the best days on the mountain with him, as well as some of the best social times too. We've been to gigs, discussed art, even had kids at pretty much the same time, as he mentions in this interview, its hard to find good old friends and Dan is one of my best, old friends, a legend in snowboarding and I can't wait until we are both chatting shit on a chairlift and hitting some pow together in the future.

There is loads of Dans sections up on the youtube channel right now, check it out at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzv12VwCKEfXL1TBup-ByCA
