Daniel Gorman, an up and coming rollerblader fom Dublin, Ireland, stopped by Intuition Skate Shop today, along with his older brother Jason Gorman. Daniel was featured in the March 2011 issue of Wheel Scene, a U.K. based rollerblading news magazine. Both Daniel and Jason are on their way up to Woodward West to skate in the 2011 AIL World Championships.

Intuition had a copy of the Wheel Scene Daniel was featured in, and he was happy to sign a copy. Must be pretty wild to come to Cali all the way from Ireland, and see yourself in a newspaper from your homeland. (Thanks to David McNamara for sending a copy of each WS issue to Intuitionland.)
