We need your help to get an Aspiring Young Pro to the Nationals. I return get a rare vintage 1991 HiFlyers UnCut Sheet Motocross Poster.
I'm posting this on the VitalMX board, because this Forum and it's members are one of the main reasons my son Adam Zabel has become the youngest credentialed photographer at the AMA Nationals.
Shortly after a moto injury sidelined him, my son Adam began shooting and posting photos on VitalMX. Photo's he took from behind the fence, at the 2009 Red Bud and Millville nationals received many compliments. Comments about Adam's obvious talent, along with the comments about credentials and who gets them was the driving force that saw Adam become the youngest credentialed photographer at the AMA Nationals. When Adam and I met Davey Coombs, for the first time, Davey stated. "Adam has credentials because of his talent AND because the guys on the VitalMX forum would crucify me if I didn't." It's hard to convey how much I appreciate all the encouragement and feedback the members of this board have given Adam.
Our plan to attend nearly every national this year got quite a bit harder when I was unexpectedly laid off last month. To offset the cost I'm selling some extreme rare and collectable 19 year old HiFlyers UnCut Sheet Motocross Posters
For $50 shipped or $35 if you pick it up at any of the races we attend get an amazingly cool and rare vintage 1991 HiFlyers UnCut Sheet Motocross Poster. I have donated a number of these to various industry charity auctions. At the 2009 Steel City Motocross National two of the posters sold for $1200. They brought in more money then COMPLETE riding gear including boots, helmet, Leatt brace, pants , jersey EVERYTHING worn and signed by some of the top pro's. These poster are very cool! I created a webpage of the posters so you can get idea of what they look like.

Thanks again to VitalMX and the members of this board and a list of others for helping Adam live the dream.

Will you or Adam going to be at any D16 Moto's in the near future?
I'd take one if you are
Amazing how the first reply can set the tone I agonized for weeks deciding to make this post. I hoped the first reply would be from someone that knows Adam and has seen what a talented kid he is and what a humble meek personality he has.
I guess it's like life, it's always easier to tear down then it is to build up.
Hey ThePipe,
Adam has his drivers license now and is always shooting D16 when he has a free weekend. I'll have him bring some with him. Thanks!!
Good luck this summer, both with Adam's photography and your job situation. (I know your pain!)

Hey Artie, I was 16 when I got my first credential - early days of Hangtown.
Hope you and Adam have a blast.
Dave Eakins is the guy who helped me get started when he was at Motorcyclist magazine...
Here are a few of my photos form Hangtown, you can also check out the gallery's on Vurb Moto for more.
nice photos and good luck with the racing.
Heading out for High Point tomorrow so if you want a poster you can save on shipping
Even if you don't want one and you see me there carrying them stop and say hi.
