Some Personal Information About Me:

My full name is Daniel William Burkhartsmeyer. I am 15 years old, and my birthday is May 17. I live in Aptos, CA, which has some great trail riding and jump spots. Mountain Biking is and has been my favorite sport for about 3 or 4 years now. I love DH, Dual Slalom, Mountain Cross, Jumping, Trail Riding, or just hanging out with friends at the jump spot. I also like working on my own bike, and taking care of it. I would like to get a job as a bike mechanic if I have to get a job. As of now, I own two bikes, a Giant Trance, and a Morewood Izimu, which I bought used about 2 months ago, and its awesome.

What inspires you to compete?

I love the feeling of being out front. Whether that means actually being in front at a mountaincross race, or placing at a DH race. The feeling is just so gratifying to know that all your hard work and practice has paid off.

Why do you like this sport?

I like mountain biking for many reasons. One is that it is an adrenaline sport, and I find it to be great fun. Another main one is that it is not a team sport. Although I have played team sports in the past, I like the feeling that you can set your own practice time, and have fun practicing. I don't have to be stressed out over homework becuase I have practice. I can go riding whenever I want and with whoever I want.

Music?

Music is a pretty big part of my life, as of many other people. I mostly listen to rock/alternative, but at times I will listen to good rap music. Nothing that is very popular, smaller rap bands that actually have good beats. The one music that I cannot stand is country, any form. Many times when I ride, I have a song in my head that helps me pin it.
