“His tattoos always mean a lot to me and it’s nice to put some of his work on the shoe,” Enarson comments. Representing Dennis’ renowned abilities, refined aesthetic and focus on mental clarity when riding, the Enarson Old Skool Pro BMX leans on an earthy olive/gum colorway, and is debossed with a hand-drawn mandala based on one of Dennis’ tattoos, which was created by longtime friend, fellow rider and tattoo artist, Thomas Hooper. Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, is proud to partner with triple-threat BMX team rider Dennis Enarson to put his spin on the Old Skool Pro BMX, featuring first-of-its-kind WAFFLECUP BMX construction that’s been designed, tested and approved by today’s top riders. The names are listed at the end of the book and we had to peek a few times in order to Albert Moonen and Paul de Jong are now the owners of the photo book and we flipped through the pages trying to put a name with each rider. The book weighs 5 pounds and all 250 copies were sold in no-time. 360 photos printed in a book with over 400 pages.
Jared Souney on the other hand managed to scan thousands of his photos and filed them around to form the 'Things Seen Along the Way' book and it's amazing. Although a lot of the photos ended up in FAT-'Zine issues 0 - 34, it would be interesting to dive into the photo pile one day to make a book. Keep in mind that this was during the pre-cell-phone era and taking pics at parties wasn't common. Most pics are of poor quality, taken by the pocket-camera that seemed to fit in the fanny pack together with the passport, the wallet and some keys.
From the start of BMX in The Netherlands to shoe boxes full of photos from the first trips to San Diego as well as all the European events we went to back in the day. We've got hundreds, if not thousands of pictures hidden on the attick.
