Sorry, I just had to share cause I'm so damn excited!! Davey Coombs just told me that I can shoot the Freestone National MX race this year and any other National MX that I can go to for RacerX!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!

This is epic for me. For those who don't know about MX and SX, RacerX is basically the Sports Illustrated of the sport. It's about as good as it gets. It's the equivelant of anyone here getting an email from the owner of SI basically to tell you that any event you want to go to, they will get you credentials and give you the chance to get your pics in the magazine as well as get paid for them. What a huge break for me this is. Wish me luck that I can capitalize on this opportunity.

    Very Cool. Your MX shots are outstanding and they should be happy to get your work for their magazine/website.

    Not a surprise after looking at your work, you are consistently in the good light in the right position to catch the action....at just the right moment ...in focus.
    Not as easy as it sounds....

    Congrats on these new opportunities opening up for you....make the most of it!

    Congrats! Davey is a great dude. And a busy dude at that! He is also helping me out with press credentials for the nationals. I will be at the Hangtown National thanks to him. I know how you feel! I just wish I didnt have college and work so that I could do more races. Congrats again! Will you be at Hangtown now?
    Check out my site for more photos!

    Thanks again everyone and TG, yes, I think I will be making Hangtown now. I just emailed DC to double check that it's cool and the wife will go ahead and get my travel lined up. Hopefully, we can meet up and anyone else here that is planning on going as a photog or spectator.
