also for the rider of the month have like there resent accomplishment( comp standing, travel, new tricks created, exe)

I disagree. Covering everything that a event or show consists of would be good. Include Pics and a story for the following:

-Write up and pics to :Introduce the event, promoters, sponsors, vendors, what the event is all about and consists of. Turnouts if the event has been done in the past, prior winners, or riders and a little story of last time.

- Write up and pictures: of the riders in the comp or show, what happened who placed where etc.

- Write up and pics: behind the scenes, lifestyle, rivaleries between riders, the trash talk etc, of everything else that went on that wasn't in the event sched.. Things like this people want to read, it's like the stunt gossip and make you want to read and find out how it's going to happen at the next event.

That is one sic pic!!! I think that what would help keep interest would be going nationwide, and hell overseas.

Theres a reason I said "fine line" ... making a connection with riders outside the "inner circle" is important, but it cannot be over done.

Re: everyone's a critic

Fairy Tale:

One day, long, long ago, there was this woman who surprisingly,
did not whine, nag, and bitch........


But this was a long time ago.....

and it was just ONE day.

The End

In other words, you will not make everyone happy, but I think bigger mag, with more pages, hell have a ton of pics, and how about sick centerfolds to stick in the garage to keep motivated during the winter months.

Re: everyone's a critic

I don't think that everyone has enough faith in the power of stunts to sell a product. For example... Jason Britton starred in a show last year that was about sportbikes in general and it was ok. This year all the garbage was weeded out and it is almost all stunts. It wasn't the other way around like people claim it has to be. If the stunts didn't sell there is no way that a national TV station would of greenlighted the show in its new format. Stunts sell other mags too. Which magazine this month had a stretched bike doing a 12 on the cover and then no stunt coverage inside? How many bike covers a year have wheelies and stoppies on them, a lot! Stunters are just used to getting hammered in the *** by companies that use them and claim that their stunts aren't worth a **** and then use them to make a shitload of money. Time to take it back.

Re: everyone's a critic

I think a little bit of drama, a little personalities, who won, who placed, and what they're riding. Biker mags sell to bikers. we're interested in what people do to modify their bikes, and performance parts aren't just for wannabe racers, the parts you guys employ, the wheelie button, the ***** magnet, the handbrake, people want to know what the pros run and how they benefit performance.

It's a tough line to cover an event, the riders, and the bikes without turning it into an interview or a "how to" special. But you can do it. I have faith.

Maybe break it up, cover an event, stock it full of info, and write a monthly article on a featured rider. Get down into his sponsorships, what he has done in the stunt world, what he's riding, where he's headed, who he is, etc.

People don't root for bikes they root for riders, the better they feel they know you, the more loyal fans they will be. They'll pick who they identify with and really get into.

*wheelie button and ***** magnet not available in some states.

GOD HELL NO!!!!!! I ride cause i love the sport and its lifestyle. but i deffinitly could careless about who doesnt like who or wat they think of someone elses stoppies or watever and i most deffinitly dont care for any of the trash talking or gossip bullshit.
there are always going to be ppl u dont get along with or just dont care to be friends with but u still ride with them because they also love the sport and wat better to motivate u then being a better rider then them.

You're right, that's a killer pic. You can see what controls are being covered and the bike looks great.

I'm not talking about childish MTV real world drama, and not getting along with each other. Nothing like what you have on here or what you have in your stuntlife. All the gossip and **** talk is all in good fun in person, and not all the personal crap you think it is, if you have participated in one of these events you would know what I'm getting at, and it would be good read and pics. It can be told what was said before the event, and what actually happened in the event, among other things. Giving a spectator or fan an inside look and feel for the event by reading the mag and not being at the event. This part would cater to them not so much other stunt riders.. You know the ones who in numbers buy most of these magazines.

Who won, who didnt, PICS, who did the wig splitting tricks, explain the winning run and what they did to beat everyone, just about the event, PICS, after partys, street rides and more PICS.
