I was 24, living in Gainesville, FL, failing the shit out of community college for the third time, and averaging probably 25 hrs a week on my bikes, mostly on ratty old singlespeed mountain bikes. I had no money, few goals, zero responsibility and just wanted to ride and party. Life was pretty damn good! Here's a little gem of a post of a typical Sunday for me and my good friend Joe Melvin, who is now a mechanical engineer and doing quite well for himself in Richmond, VA. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Here at the bike shop I've been getting questions lately with the sudden appearance of one Nate Wyatt turning wrenches in the repair area. For the few of you that don't know at this point, my time at Sycamore Cycles is coming to a close, almost 5 years after I first got a paycheck. Its been a great time, and I can't thank Wes enough for all the help over the years, especially when I was being a shit, which i most definitely can be. He's a good guy and busts his ass to make his business and more importantly his hometown into a place we all love and are proud of. I've learned a lot from him and probably need to learn a lot more...<br />
<br />
So a big THANK YOU to Wes and the rest of the crew and regulars at Sycamore, y'all are awesome!<br />
<br />
Who knows, I'll probably end up covered in grease back in the pit in the future, but for now its time for new adventures. <br />
<br />
Making changes, saying yes, mixing it up, I decided last summer it was time to do all of it. I went back to school last fall for what feels like the 37th time, and its been great. I fully feel like it was the best decision I've made in a long time. If things stay on track I'll be graduating in exactly one year with a degree in Environmental Studies. <br />
<br />
This summer I'll be doing things a little differently than in the past. I've been hanging out in Brevard every summer, racing locally and having a blast because I'm pretty sure Brevard is heaven during the summer. This year though, I'll be heading west, living out of the back of my truck with some bikes, a grimy old dirt bike, and my licky licky brown dog Addie. I'll be following the Big Mountain enduro series, the Utah enduro series, and a lot of one day events. I'll base out of Crested Butte, Colorado with one Gattis Tyler. Hit me up if your coming through. I'm doing a 2 day work week at Big Al's Bicycle Heaven, the rest riding and traveling. I leave Brevard May 15th, and I'll be back mid August. <br />
<br />
That's all for now, but stay tuned and I'll try and stay updated regularly throughout the summer.<br />
<br />
Dano out.<br />

First the shit (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">giardia</span>), then i hurt my back, and finally blew up my hand. Not all at once mind you, but one after the other with a week buffer between each. Real nice.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div>What can you do? </div><br /><br /><br /><div>I started thinking about other projects that I'd been putting off for years. I finally put together an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">alleycat</span> race for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Brevard</span>, and it WENT OFF. 70 people showed up out of nowhere to get rowdy and act <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ridiculous</span> on bikes on a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Sunday</span> in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">July</span>.

The snow hasn't really come yet but the 16 degree mornings have. I haven't really minded yet as I've got a handful of indoor projects that I've been spending my time on but I'm sure I'll start to get a bit stir crazy soon. Hopefully I can entertain myself with a few trips, mid day quickie rides, and snowboarding to keep the stoke up this winter. I haven't posted up in a while, I actually needed a break from it and its been good- I've continued to write just in a personal and more focused fashion. As always I'm thinking about goals and dreams for the upcoming year and how to make them a reality. I've realized that I'm in a unique position to do anything I want, and I definitely plan on taking full advantage of this in the near future. Honestly I've been figuring this out for the past 6 months or so and doing whatever I want whenever I want. Hopefully I can strike the balance to continue this while at the same time taking care of the small responsibilities I do have.<br /><br />This year is quickly coming to a close and with 2012 looming I have to have a little retrospective look at the last year and figure out how to build off whatever accomplishments and/or setbacks I've had over the past years. A whole lot of really good things happened this year and i'm really happy about that.<br /><br />More as I feel like it,<br /><br />Dan EnnisDan Ennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886892395034025697noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064344450506712523.post-73357642360563984482010-09-01T22:44:00.000-04:002010-09-01T22:56:34.714-04:00holey moley!!Hly wow, I ttally forgot about this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">haha</span>! i guess <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I've</span> just been busy. first and biggest time bandit has been transforming the front yard into my own personal jump park, sweetness. check the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">wastespace</span> for pics as <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> way to lazy to upload them twice. its good though, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> still working out the kinks in the flow but give it a few weeks and we'll be all good. jump jam/<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">BBQ</span>/front yard camping/epic trail rides weekend is coming down the pipes, details on that as soon as <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Tim</span> (our totally awesome heavy equipment loaning neighbor) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fixes</span> the skid steer which in turn lets me fix a few <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">oversites</span> that are holding up this show. it'll be worth the wait...<br /><br />other shit <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">that's</span> been occupying my time is racing <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">dh</span> bikes a bit, the post below sums it up well. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">hawksnest</span> number two, mud spikes, air time, good time. thanks as always to the dirty bird crew for another awesome race.<br /><br />last, i finally got a legit trail bike. well its not in my hands yet but its in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">fedex's</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">that's</span> good enough for me. so stoked to bust out some big trail rides.

The weather hasn't really been cooperating, a tropical storm is blowing through which has kept the boat on the dock. I did go do a bunch of snorkeling yesterday and then go out in Key West last night. strange, strange people down here, the sun def does something to you. Fun though, and I might head back tonight if the storms clear up a bit. Its been a good vacation but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">I'm</span> pretty excited to get back and put some time in on the bikes. This weeks been a really good break and I'm all pumped again to go riding, which is what I was hoping would happen.<br /><br />Dano out.Dan Ennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886892395034025697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064344450506712523.post-454506685885902302010-07-21T10:35:00.000-04:002010-07-21T10:52:57.370-04:00Salt LifeQuick update as I shit the bed and didn't bring my adaptor to put up pics. Maybe I'll pick one up in town so I can show y'all this place, its pretty rad. Anyhow, got in yesterday on a little prop plane in some crazy wind, it was a wild ride, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">stokage</span>. Some Asian lady in the seat behind me threw up, gross. I thought it was a fun ride but evidently I was the only one. We tried to land three times and kept getting bucked around by the wind.<br /><br />The house is rad, on the water with the boat right there ready to rumble. We went out in some rough water yesterday to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Munson</span> rocks but didn't get in cause Joey was pretty sure we'd get washed away. I pretty much do what he says down here cause he lives here half the year working as a fishing and diving guide. Its cool cause he knows all the cool shit that's off the beaten path. After we got behind a few islands and the water calmed down a bit Joey and I jumped in and swam a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">looonnngg</span> way to a deserted island, which was awesome. I walked across an ocean on a sandbar, similar to what the Jesus did but without the superpowers and general awesomeness associated with that dude. After that we cruised back in a bit and tried to fish, which consisted of me putting food in the water for the fish to eat off my hook and not get caught. I've figured out already that I'm pretty much horrible at fishing, and my family is pretty much awesome at it. I guess it is what they do all the time...<br /><br />We had to pull up the lines and haul ass though cause a squall was coming that we where trying to outrun, it got us though about a mile from shore. It was the second wild ride of the day for me but this time on the bow with goggles on getting pelted by rain, it was crazy. I couldn't see shit but Joey was just laughing uncontrollably and keeping the boat wide fucking open, I can't lie I was a little nervous but we made it home so it was all good.<br /><br />Off to day two, Joey's saying something about tarpon hunting-I'm gonna act like I know what he's talking about.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dano</span> out.<br /><br />P.S.- update, have a upload card.

I may update this sorry pile of a site while I'm there or I might just let it continue to rot away into oblivion. Regardless, good times are coming. Not that good times haven't already been had, mind you. I did race this weekend after all and i do have a girl with an accent. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>First the Keys trip- Momma Ennis has been trying to pry me away from my mountain outpost for three years now to go sit on an island with her. I've successfully avoided the last two years, but this year she got me with the "grandma might shit the bed at any moment" card. So off I go to fight the kracken and fend off men in the bars of Key West. Should be awesome.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Second, Racing- It went ok. I had fun, which is a given, but didn't ride like I should have. It was just an off weekend I guess, nothing to lose sleep over. Hopefully the next one goes better. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Third- Accents are hot haha.

Too much fun, I'll ride that place whenever the opportunity arises. I went on a pretty fun ride tues too, where there were way more 29ers than 26ers... I'm def curious, especially seeing Wes D. on his and actually ripping some downhills. I may try to steal his and do one of the Triple Crown slalom races on it, seems like it would rail pretty hard. Interesting concept...<br /><br />Been working a bunch out at the camp, going in super early (for me) and actually enjoying being up at dawn. weird, but whatever works. At least it keeps me out of the bars haha!<br /><br />Yesterday, i went hiking in Dupont for a lonnggg time yesterday looking at waterfalls. It was sweet, but hiking wore me out, i had to take a nap afterwards. Like Wes says, "hikings for poor people".<br /><br />Last, Its the weekend!! I'm heading out to Fight Club to build a wallride, cut out some stumps, build some drainage, and patch up some berms. hopefully We'll have a BIG finish line step-up done in the next couple of weeks to so we can get our moto whips on, haha yes!!<br /><br />Get out and ride something sweet,<br /><br />Dano out.Dan Ennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886892395034025697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064344450506712523.post-48521409261920216572010-06-07T17:47:00.000-04:002010-06-07T17:49:28.777-04:00Dirty Bird Race #1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwUuYJVs6rHjBfpEYKunuC8fUpIWgVJlRek9S5q99l9nG8XxOR1By1yIzdv_w1lkWDMOd2tt1OkfvuPrgJSa9hcLq2dyLRqkwOg8vZ0Ik2R9zeKbLa1N8yqG8yrTaHfj3EoqvtIcG8kc/s1600/dan+dirty+bird+3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480151881425418802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwUuYJVs6rHjBfpEYKunuC8fUpIWgVJlRek9S5q99l9nG8XxOR1By1yIzdv_w1lkWDMOd2tt1OkfvuPrgJSa9hcLq2dyLRqkwOg8vZ0Ik2R9zeKbLa1N8yqG8yrTaHfj3EoqvtIcG8kc/s400/dan+dirty+bird+3.jpg" /></a><br /><div>That'll do,</div><div> </div><div>Dano out.</div>Dan Ennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886892395034025697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064344450506712523.post-5337525376251888042010-05-29T15:28:00.000-04:002010-05-29T15:58:51.030-04:00You better check yourself before you wreck yourself...."Cause shotgun bullets are bad for your health."<br /><br /><br /><br />The classic hip hop station playing at the shop right now is defiantly making me stoked. Life is good in the 828 these days with plenty of bikes, Genesse beers, and pretty foreign women to play with. The school year ending and camp season starting has been good, with some old faces clearing out and new faces rolling in. Its been a breath of freshish air. haha freshish, true.<br /><br /><br /><br />anyhow, I got a bit of sad news for yall, Im not going to be able to go to natls this year. Im pretty bummed about it but such is life, it'll keep you down if you let it. I do however have a really nice new (to me) truck, so next year i won't get stuck in the snow. yep, the clampett died finally.

For starters I'm getting to know the Yeti and its nasty. I'm def gonna hurt myself on that pedal scooter, probably soon. I'm gearing up for some racing as well, so the pain cave and I have gotten to know each other pretty well. I honestly think a pumptrack is designed to make me throw up. Last, i'm working on some secret projects, some are known, some are well under wraps and nowhere close to being ready for unveiling. other than that not much is going down.<br /><br />i got 99 problems,<br /><br />dano out.Dan Ennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886892395034025697noreply@blogger.com0
