Daron Rahlves Wins Skier X Gold!

In a Super Sunday Showdown between the best Skier X athletes in the world, Daron Rahlves displayed incredible competitiveness in taking the gold medal at Winter X Games 2008.

In the first final elimination race, Daron spent most of the run battling in the fourth place position. In an incredible display of fury and determination, he tucked his head down and boosted big off the large jump just before the finish line. He overtook the third place spot and secured his place in the final run for the podium.

In the last run, it was Daron all the way. In true champion fashion, he spent the entire race well ahead of the field and threw up a #1 gesture as he crossed the finish line in a blur. Daron has not been long away from the world cup circuit, but he's already cutting himself a spot among the elite in the sport of Skier X.
