"Daniel Sandoval never set out to become a professional BMX rider. He just started riding his bike in the skatepark every day after school as a kid, and one day a few older riders taught him how to do tricks. Now he’s the one setting the pace for never-been-done-before tricks in BMX park contests and film segments shot and seen around the world. Sandoval was born near Los Angeles, a third-generation Hispanic American. He moved to the southern California town of Corona when he was 11. Not long after settling in Corona, Daniel discovered the skatepark down the street from his house." -USA Cycling
