This new interview deal is really catching fire. So I emailed Dan some questions that definitely needed answering, and I'm happy to say that they questions have finally been put to rest. It's funny how Dan keeps trying to publicly deny his super-heroness, but then what he does totally proves that he's a superhero. Kind of like how Superman wears glasses when he pretends to be mortal, but then he saves the world and stuff. So in this little interview, you're going to see feeble attempts on Dan's part to cover his tracks as a superhuman, but then he totally reveals it all when he says how far he travelled in Europe on his bike, how fast he's gone on his snowboard, how he survived the nights in Switzerland, and what he ate for food... Yeah people, Dan is a superhero, whether he denies it or not...
(MrBoltsofThunder) Dan, how does it feel to be invincible?(Daniel R Shaw) hmmm. thats a tough one to answer. i hate to break it to you Jon but i am vincible. i can be broken just like everybody else can.
How far, exactly did you ride your bike over in Europe, and in how many days?
i road my bike a bit over a thousand miles and i did it in 12 days of riding. i was out for a week and a half on my bike. i spent some days just hanging out or hiking about.
What was the craziest/funniest thing you witnessed over there?
well, something funny doesnt come to mind. crazy things usually happened when i was trying to get a sheltered sleep while going through switzerland, austria, holland, and belgium. i was in zurich for the night and i was planning to sleep under a gardening shed in a national park but then i found a bunch of spiders there. i had already let it get dark because i wasn't planning on leaving that place for another sleeping spot. All i had to eat was raw oats with water and nutella (i chewed them all up together in my mouth). so i took off to find another place to sheltered sleep. i ended up sleeping in a construction zone in the park. i slept under a construction hut. it was a great sleep and best of all it was dry. i woke up at 630 when the construction workers came to greet me. they offered me a hot cup of coffee and we all chatted for a while about how great switzerland was.

If you were a male model, what would you like to model, what article of clothing, brand, etc...
haha. probably something classy like a pair of kaki sailing shorts (light blue). Brand doesnt matter much to me.
So in Dave's interview, he said that he'd want to be stranded on an island with you and that you guys wouldn't even need tools, but that you would take care of all that. And he even said he could probably convince the local cannibals that you are a demi-god, that way you guys wouldn't have to confront them in violent conflict. How do these statements make you feel? Do you agree with Dave; do you feel like you're a demi-god at times?
wow, thats very flattering. Thank you guys. well. i dont think im really that handy. But being handy is one of my favorite things. i like to do things well and get them done with minimal resources. so thank you for characterizing me that way. i do not try to show it. i just enjoy being handy very much.
Ok, so same questions for you: Who would you prefer to be stranded on an island with out of the Bolts of Thunder family? And how would you treat the cannibal population on the island, would you be hostile towards them or try to convince them that you mean no harm?
i would spend the time with Nick out there on the island. we'd first make some huts for sleeping in, then some spears to protect ourselves from the cannibals, and then some surf boards to pass the time. we'd never actually use the spears. but we'd paint our faces and make it seem like we are more blood thirsty than they.
What's the earliest memory you have?
i remember trying to immitate my brother by sliding across the wood floor on my socks. i feel and split my head open which made it a memorable experience. thats the first thing that comes to mind. i must have been three.
When's the last time someone saw you walking around naked? hahaha! completely naked huh?
hmmmm.... probably a few months ago at my old appartment while going from my room to the shower. i'd usually wear my hand while walking to the shower.
How many stairs have you tailwhipped on a razor scooter?
that was long ago. probably like seven or eight at most.
What's the biggest jump you've done on a snowboard, and what tricks did you do over it?
the longest gap was probably around sixty five feet at park city a few years ago. i wasnt going to through any flips or spins over it. just a classic eighties method grab.
How fast have you gone on your bike?
i dont know. i really cannot say. never checked. ive gone 70 on a snowboard though.
Remember Jack, our old landlord? Yeah, he was an idiot. My mind's a little fuzzy as to what went down when we tried getting our security deposits back, do you remember that ordeal at all?...
hahaha. yeah. i couldnt deal with him. the few times i tried to phone him, we just started yelling fiercly at each other. i just let Jon handle it. he faught for me. thank you Jon for getting me 200 dollars!! Jon knew how to threaten Jack and get what we needed out of him. i didnt.
When you're a dentist, will you give Bolts of Thunder free dental work?
haha. of course. i would love to help out.
This is your time to shine on the blog Dan, what would you like to say?...
I miss you guys and i'll see y'all in august. Thank you all for reading the bolts of thunder blog. i love it. its the best one out there and the only one that i read.
