Top 10 Riders of All Time: #5-Adam Van Dyke

At number 5 on the list, Adam Van Dyke is arguably the best spinner in the club. The Senior Marketing/Management major is another Smith Mtn. Lake native and lifelong Liquid Force rider. While he has a solid bag of toeside inverts, Adam is a classic example of the phrase “spin to win” with his victory in Men’s C at the 2012 Alt Games (Nationals). He can do all 4 Frontside 540s and both Heelside and Toeside Backside 360s. He suffered a nasty knee injury and complications from a massive double up last year just weeks after Nationals. After a November surgery, he has been working extremely hard in hopes of being back in time for Nationals 2013. When he gets back on the water, expect to see Adam chasing down both Heel 7s and HS BS 540s with a vengeance this year. -Nick
