Introducing Danni “The Diva” Morrison! Danni may be just 6 years old, but she has been racing almost her entire life already. Watching her big brother Barry compete lit her initial BMX spark. “I watched him and couldn’t wait,” she says. Danni competed in her first national when she was 3 and has been a part of the J&R National Team, well since birth, really. “I’m pretty sure there’s been a spot for me since I was born,” she explains.
Danni’s favorite part of competing in BMX races is the thrill of crossing the finish line and she says for her, the biggest challenge in racing has been, “Learning to stand in the gate.” Danni’s favorite track to ride is Port Charlotte BMX because, “The bridge is so cool!” Her favorite famous BMX rider? “Rico Bearman, he’s super-fast! And, my boyfriend,” she adds.
Along with loads of accomplishments on the track, one achievement Danni is most proud of has to do with her brute strength. “I can do eight pull-ups in a row,” she states, “Take that, boys!” Looking down the track, the race she is looking forward to most is, “Rockford this summer because I get to see my Aunt Kristin!”
We look forward to seeing you up on the podium, Danni! Best of luck from the whole J&R Family!
