Under The Radar: Daniel Cooper
Where are you from?
Phoenix, AZ
Sponsors?
Industrial Rideshop
Years skating?
10 years
Favorite pro?
That’s a hard one I'd probably have to say Jeremy Reeves. I think he just turned pro. He's got really good style.
Worst injury?
I broke my wrist, then a year later I broke my wrist in the same spot.
Listen to?
I listen to everything I got such random music on my ipod. I have a random section with songs from Devin the Dude to Bob Segar, Moby, Rolling Stones to 2pac the list goes on and on.
Favorite place to travel to?
I'd have to say Utah or Calfonia. Utah has some of the best spots and a really good skate scene and California is always nice to go to and get away.
Worst skate bust?
Nothing too crazy the cops sitting everyone down threatening to take our light and cameras and white carded us.
When your not skating?
When I’m not skating I’m at school, hanging out with my girlfriend Kortney, thinking about skateboarding, punk’n my friends in basketball, or geeking out on the internet.
Craziest story from the road?
There's too many I’ve have to say one time me and my friend Dimi were on our way to California from Az. and his engine blew out like 30 miles past Blythe(it’s like the first town you enter in California).Then we got towed back into Blythe and dropped off in some parking lot. Slept in his car then I woke up to him telling me some guy has work for at this Mexican restaurant, so I did some dishes for like an hour, the guy cooked us food and gave us 50 bucks then we met some people at the skate park there and they let us stay at their house. Then the next day they towed us into the Indio like 90 miles toward California, dropped us off at the dealership. We grabbed our luggage and skateboards and started walking, because he owed money on his car so they took it. We walked through the ghetto of Indio then stated hitch-hiking, got a little further then we met a guy who said we could stay with him. He helped us out and we got on greyhound and continued heading toward our destination.
Plans for 07’?
I plan on skating a lot, getting some clips on film and coming out tough with my next video part.
