Hi all,
I haven't been posting here a whole lot lately, but some of you may remember me. Regardless, I've recently started a blog to help promote my sponsors and give people a little insight into life as an aspiring racer. My plan is to post weekly videos (right now I use a gorillapod to hold the camera to a tree/rock/ground but I hope to use a helmet camera in the future), race/ride reports, product reviews and anything else related to offroad racing and riding.

Here's a link: http://dirtbikechronicles.blogspot.com/

Also, if you have any suggestions on how to improve the blog, please don't hesitate to ask.

Steve

Speedy-- that is great. (Will check out blog later.) I had noticed you weren't posting and wondered about that. You've been missed around here. Will you be going to Portugal for ISDE this year? Helio Lucas says it isn't too far from where he lives.

Unfortunately, Portugal isn't in the budget. It costs $10-15 grand on top of all my other racing to do the ISDE and after two years in a row, I just can't afford it. I am racing the Canadian Enduro Championship this year (www.worldendurocanada.com), part of the PN series (www.pnwma.com) plus other events in the PNW. I hope to go to the 2010 ISDE in Mexico too.

Nice bio.

Will you be adding web pages with your photography or keep that a separate deal? What about pages with race results/dedicated to specific events?

Nice to know young bachelors have budget limits sooner or later. ;)

I thought there was an event in the Washington that looked up your alley.... can't remember it now....A new event.... hmm- ring any bells?

The PNW looks like an awesome series!

My photography (the business stuff, not photos of me) is on a separate webpage that is almost finished. I'll add a race schedule tonight, then results as they come. I may eventually integrate the blog into a personal website, but that will be down the road.

Awesome Steve! So where is your snow? I can't ride around here yet, maybe sneak up to those secret trails ;)

Also, let me know next time you have a shirt sale to raise money! Almost got the last ones worn out!!

I actually have some left over t-shirts and hoodies from last year if you're interested in getting one. What size do you need?

You ever drop down to Cowville to go riding Steve? Not that I could keep up, but could pick up a shirt from you then?

Haven't made it down to Little Pend Oreille (I assume that's what you're talking about) in years, but might be able to come down in August or October for a ride. Let me know if you have any rides planned up that way.
