Can he kick it? Yes, and he can flick it, balance it and do pretty much everything imaginable with a ball too.
We’ve featured the
fantastic skills of Daniel on JOE before so when he got in touch to tell us about how he got on at the recent Red Bull World Finals in Tokyo, we had to feature him again.
The 40 best freestylers in the world were in Japan for the event and after a day of intense qualifier heats, our man Daniel made the final 16 for the second year in a row. Unluckily he came up against the rather brilliant Norwegian Tobias Becs who just beat him 3-2 in that round.
There are two videos from the event below. The first is the full highlights package from Japan, which is worth a watch for the incredible setting of the Zojoji Temple alone. You’ll see Daniel at the 0.56 second mark.

The second video is the full battle Daniel had with Becs. Amazing stuff.

Daniel told us he’s now going to work on his backflip over the winter (as you do) before coming back better than ever next year.
Give him an old follow
@DanielScenery to keep up to date with him too.
