STURBRIDGE, MA – He’s had an amazing life. Set jump records as a motorcycle daredevil and survived Stage IV cancer. Now, Doug Danger’s story is being shared in a just-released “as told to” biography titled “Doug Danger – Dare to Dream.”
Life-long friend Steve Hall was the man at the keyboard. The effort began in January. “The process was him basically telling the story,” said Hall in a phone conversation Tuesday.
While Hall knew many of the highlights of Danger’s life – how he jumped a motorcycle over an L-1011 jumbo jet on national television, jumped 14 schools buses on a 125cc bike, and flew over 11 tractor-trailer trucks – Danger’s recounting filled in the many blanks.
“There’s something really unqiue about Doug. First of all, it’s his demeanor. He’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, and I wanted to capture that,” said Hall. “He’s been doing stunts for 40 years. That’s almost unprecedented.”
“Doug Danger – Dare to Dream” is sub-titled “From tragedy to triumph: A daredevil’s ride.” It acknowledges that fear can sometimes be part of being a daredevil and how it must be overcome “one step at a time,” Hall said.
Making a career out of risk-taking takes many qualities. “He’s got talent and insights and a philosophy and methods we really wanted to break down,” Hall reported.
Leadership qualities and focus come into play, too. “Doug Danger – Dare to Dream” reveals “what makes him tick, what makes him successful,” Hall said.
Danger, whose real name is Doug Senecal, was a longtime resident of Massachusetts, but now lives in Florida. At 58, he’s still jumping motorcycles, adding memories and stories for future editions of the book.
