Daniel Dhers


Daniel Dhers is a professional BMX rider. He is currently sponsored by Red Bull, POC, DC Shoes, Specialized, Albe's Mailorder, and Verizon. Dhers lived in Greenville, North Carolina, known as Protown USA because of the strong concentration of BMX riders that live there, including Dave Mirra.
Dhers moved to Holly Springs, North Carolina in late 2013 and opened a public mountain biking, BMX, and skateboarding park, the Daniel Dhers Action Sports Complex.

Career

Dhers began riding BMX when he was twelve years old to socialize with friends and in 1998 he visited his first skatepark. At age 16 Dhers moved with his parents to Buenos Aires, Argentina which allowed him to ride with more experienced riders than he had previously, which in turn fuelled his progression and in 2003 he entered his first contest. In 2006 Dhers moved to the United States and immediately won the Dew Action Sports Tour, which he would go on to win again in 2007, 2008, and 2010. He would also win gold medals at the X Games in 2007, 2008, and 2010. He was also featured on several episodes of the American TV program Nitro Circus.
Dhers is one of the most decorated BMX riders of all time.
