Danny Josa grew up in Budapest but has spent several years off and on living in various states in the U.S. as an exchange student. He currently lives in Lafayette, Louisiana of all places and is riding every chance he gets. We got a bunch of photos of him at spots all around Louisiana, so we hit him up for a quick “top fives” interview as an introduction to the fun-loving Hungarian.

Great interview. Saw you this year in Osijek, Croatia. Too bad you got hurt on the dirt jumps. Would've loved to see you shred those jumps.

Keep up the good work.

Get out of Baton Rouge more kaleb. If you know John Rogers (If you live in BR you should know him), just ask him or just check louisianabmx.blogspot.com to stay in touch with your scene. And no one cares who’s better David… except you apparently. Looking forward to seeing you ride.
