So I got an unexpected phone call this weekend that really made me happy. It was from Dan Shaw, which means he is safely home on friendly soil. Six weeks ago, Danny boy embarked on what was to become an epic adventure, traveling over a thousand miles mostly by bike through Europe pretty much all by himself. Equipped with little more than a bike, a single pair of underwear, and a well trimmed beard, Dan set out to give European women a little taste of American hospitality, Bolts of Thunder style. While abroad, he slept in parks, forests, and beaches, and he did a loop on his skateboard. Yeah, a loop. Like how Tony Hawk and Bob Burnquist do loops. Dan did one too. No joke. He didn't even film it, he just did it. I feel like that feet alone deserves an entire documentary dedicated to how Dan prepared for and did the loop while in Europe, but the thing is, he didn't prepare or plan for it. He just saw a loop at a skatepark and did it. Kind of like how he didn't plan or prepare for his thousand some-odd bike ride through Europe. He just did that too. Pretty much just like he does everything else that he does. He just does it. Now that Dan has completed this travels abroad, he truly can be considered an international man of mystery because it is completely mysterious how he can do so much. So once again people, take off your hat, shirt, and any other article of clothing you wish for Daniel R Shaw, Bolts of Thunder's international man of mystery.
