Media exposure: Eurosport's WATS, You Gotta See This, The Best Damn Sports Show Period, Regis & Kathie Lee, The X Show, E! News Daily & more Mentor(s): Dave Lewis, Z Weyand, Peter Bowie Started playing: 1979 How I started playing: My sister gave me Mark Danna's circular how-to book for my 13th birthday. After that there was no going back. Favorite move: The elusive Pandora's Box, a combo of 3 super hard Saturn moves. But freestyle's more about moments than moves. Adding a touch here, a cuff there, making a perfect pass, or going beyond my own limits and hitting a move by sheer force of will.

With teammate Dave Lewis, he won at least one FPA World Championships title each year from 1996 to 2001 and tied the all-time record for consecutive world championship titles in the Co-op division at five in a row and the record for most Open Pairs titles at four (1996, 2001, 2003, 2004). Coddington and Lewis won their first two world championship titles with rare dropless routines. Coddington has also teamed with Lisa Hunrichs Silvey to win the 2000 and 2003 Mixed Pairs world championship title. Coddington is known for combining acrobatic, high intensity moves with subtle technical tricks and precise passing. He was the first player to complete a triple spinning dive roll in a world championship final. More recently he has pushed the envelope in upside down freestyle play and a new technical direction called Saturn Rings.
