At age 19, Danny Hart started his second pro season with the Giant Factory Off-Road Team hoping to maybe crack the top 5. He did more than that. At Round 2 of the World Cup, in front of a capacity crowd at his “home” venue in Scotland, Danny shocked the world with one of the most exciting DH runs ever seen—and he didn’t stop there.
