Specialty areas: Speed Skating

If you are a Certified Instructor,
where: na
when: na
by whom were you certified: I sure would like to be certified. I would
also like to be a member of the NSP, and any other organizations that
promote the love of skating.
I have skated for 13-14 years as a recreational skater and skate
commuter. I started racing inline marathons in 2005. I won the North
American Inline Marathon Series Advanced Division in 2006. I raced my
first official pro race in 2007, at the bequest of my head coach, Mike
Harris. I beat a Guinness World Record in 2008, skating Trans-USA from
Solana Beach, CA to Atlantic Beach, FL (2555 continuous miles) in 67
days 10 hours 45 minutes. Whew!
I have written a book about the Trans-USA event called "The Long Skate".
It is available for free here:

I am currently filming a reality show about skating across the United
States again. I invite anyone who cares to learn about my life and team
to watch The Long Skate on Youtube and MySpace. I will post weekly shows
about the things that I am up to in preparation for the event. My
ultimate focus is to market the series to television. That way we can
get national exposure for this thing we love. It is a scary concept for
me to share the intimate details of my life to people that I have never
met through television, but, I am willing. This thing I love is so
important to me that I can and will leave the comfort zone of my life to
get more people skating.
I am also filming a speed skating "primer". It will be available for
free on my web pages. It is designed to help new and/or isolated skaters
with information on technique and product selection. My technique coach,
Brenda Harris, has previewed the script for content.
I hope to network here. I know many of the people here and would like to
meet the others. I hope to be able to feature them and their skating
projects in my own projects. I will be a great way to increase
participation in skating of all forms through increased awareness.

I seemed to have created a bit of a cult following out there that I
didn’t expect, with the last Trans-USA skate. That is why I think that I
have an edge here that few others do: I am the wrong person for the job.

I am not an Olympian, a celebrity, or an actor. I have had a hard life
and struggled to break cycles that could have doomed me. I am just an
average guy that loves skating so much, that I am willing to expose my
weaknesses for the world to see, and, that is what makes reality
television work. The nation loves to watch imperfect people fail or
succeed, as long as there is human drama.

My Myspace blog has a proposal posted right before the press release
blog. It will give you more of an idea of where I am headed with this.

If you have anymore questions, I am happy to answer them.

Sincerely,

Danny Dannels
