Name: Daniel Samuel Kurtz Conway…no joke.
From: Upper Darby, PA
Birthday: 8/19/87
The year you started riding: 2000-2001
Sponsors: Orchid flow, Van/Fit has been helping me out, Infamy, the Last People, Synergy-bmx
Do you have any signature products out now? Nope. Well.. i have a infamy t with me and two strippers bent over my shoulders on the front of it. ha-ha
Bmx videos that you had a part in: A bunch of local videos really, three I.B.C. videos, the infamy video, the pike…lol, and a bunch of web jibs along the way.
Your all time favorite bmx videos: I have Way too many….. little devil one and two, metal dead bang, the shadow video, all the banned videos,square one wide awake nightmare, the newest mutiny video, Stay-fit, Please kill me, can i eat, the new infamy video when its comes out “you got that”. ha ha the list is endless really.
Favorite feeling on your bike: The fact that you can ride whatever, whenever, and however just makes bmx awesome. sometimes people will never understand why a 20 plus year old is marking-up private property on a little kids bikes, but to a bike rider that just us having a good time and lettin’ loose. and who doesn’t want to let loose!!!! Also there is no better feeling than supporting and helping out in shit you believe in and back. All that and… crop dusting someone behind you in a train at a park. jkjk.
Favorite stuff to ride: I’m really into all riding, especially trails! i think it is because i am the worst at doing it!! ha-ha i really want to be good at it , maybe next year… but my roots are defiantly riding street just because its endless and skate parks because there is always a set-up to ride.
Favorite Bands/Musicians: I have all kinds of shit on my ipod anywhere from Madonna to danzig!!!! some favs are. the cramps, the dead boys, judas priest, black sabbath, the doors, Bob Marley and many others. its depends on whats going on around me at the time really.
Favorite movies: this list is just as long as the bike videos list… the mask, ace ventura 1 and 11, Forrest Gump, death proof, planet terror, hell ride, from dusk till dawn, the stonned age, I’m into really old cheezzy shit .
Favorite websites: Websites kill me sometimes…. i swear the trash talk is a joke. i support these sites: infamybmx.com, orchidfootwear.com, fitbikeco.com, thelastpeople.com, youtube.com, and vimeo.com and some others.
Interests outside of bmx: Hanging with Family and middle cup madness with friends. my girlfriend Kim, i have a full time job with the brickman group (landscaping) so that takes up some time. always going out to new places to eat. i seriously have a problem with going out to eat. haha
Any last words: Thanks to everyone who helped me get where I’m at today. i wouldn’t have nothing if i didn’t have a great crew of people behind me. thanks for everything!!
