Daniel Hanka

Daniel brings attention to the Czech Republic ski scene as one of the few from the country to make it onto the international stage. Inspired by his summers spent riding bowls on his blades, his unique style and creative tricks across urban and park features has helped Dan smash his way into the freestyle ski crowd. Follow his adventures around the globe through his awesome, heavy metal infused webseries Smelly Socks.

We have all the conditions in the Czech Republic... one day it’s negative 20 and the next day it’s around 0 and raining...I think all this influenced me in a way that helps me to be more creative on my skis.
