He started racing in 1977 at age 11 after he saw a BMX display at a car show and he asked his father if he could race.
His first sponsor was Pedal Pushers Bike Shop in 1979.
His first national amateur win was at an American Bicycle Association (ABA) in 15 Expert in Portland, Oregon in 1981.
His prime competitive years were from 1982 to 1996.
He was nicknamed "The Lumberjack".
Just like Tommy Brackens was nicknamed "The Human Dragster", "The Lumberjack" was coined for Ellis by the BMX "play by play" announcers at nationals.
By the age of 16 he was 6' 2" tall and 190 lbs (ultimately growing to 6' 3").
He also had a thick beard and mustache making him look meaner and older than his years.
The place of his birth was also a factor in the nickname since it was a stereotypically American lumberjack region of the United States.
Plus, there was an apocryphal story that he sawed down a tree that was in the right of way of a practice track he was building in his front yard.
The appellation stuck and he had it throughout the majority of his long 21-year career.
He turned professional on December 1983 at age 17.
His first pro race result was a first place in junior "A" pro at the joint 1983 American Bicycle Association (ABA)/Canadian American Bicycle Association (CABA) Canadian-American BMX Championships pre race in Monroe, Washington on December 10, 1983.
He moved himself up to "A" pro after the 1983 Jag World Super Bowl Championship which was held on December 29, 1983.
This was a charity event.
*Beginning with the 1983 season the ABA instituted age class rankings, much like NBL practice.
However, the overall National No. 1 Amateur title was retained.

His first senior pro** race result was a seventh place in "A" Pro at the National Bicycle League (NBL) Celebrity Race For Childhelp USA/International in Azusa, California, on January 22, 1984.
His father, Gary Leo Ellis Sr., is a 1987 ABA Hall of Fame Inductee for the track operator with the longest continuously operating track in the country.
His first race bicycle was a Schwinn Sting-Ray.
