BIOGRAPHY
Multi-talented Dylan Ferguson is spearheading the next wave of American aerialists, using hiking to strengthen his legs and improve technique. The goal is to move beyond a Junior World Championships aerials medal with success on the World Cup...and beyond.
UPDATE
Dylan took a huge stride forward adding a full double-full full to his arsenal last season. He had his best World Cup result of the season at the 2010 Olympic venue where he was eighth. He also had a stellar World Championships in Japan where he qualified for the finals and finished seventh. Next season, he will be looking to once again add more difficult jumps to his competition routines and is in contention for an Olympic spot in 2010.
FIRST TRACKS
He started skiing at 3 and came under Waterville Valley guru Nick Preston's sway when he was 8; Preston had him doing aerials at 10. He has skied moguls and halfpipe in addition to his strength in aerials. Ferguson made the U.S. Ski Team midway through the 2007 season after strong early season results.
FIRST WORLD CUP
Jan. 11, 2007 at Utah's Deer Valley Resort (27th in aerials)
OLYMPICS/WORLDS
2009 Worlds - seventh in aerials. 2007 Worlds - 25th in aerials
I AM
Skiing, all kinds - in the air (aerials), on the ground (free skiing, halfpipe, slopestyle, moguls)...Hiking and more hiking...Soundbite on the excitement of freestyle: "It's lots of flips, spins, twists and crashes"...
