RexBackman Added a reply to Can MEC survive after Villo wins the million
10/16/2011 9:27pm IMHO MEC will be bigger and better... Lots of positives for a first time event, except for the rocks... RV2 grabbed the cash which surprised all but did anybody catch Ralph's comments at the end about a $2m bonus next year?
RexBackman Added a reply to Wonder if Feld had insurance on their $1,000,000 ....
10/15/2011 11:11pm Kudos though to Monster and Feld for the event.
Riders had a good payday.
Good PR to the sport I would think, too.
Enjoyed it - Emig and RC are good. Loved RC's comment to Ralph - "I think you look like Johnny Cash...". Fun...

10/11/2011 11:22pm RC @ Millville... I was shooting that race and DC came up to me and said something like "How do you think Lusk feels right now?"

10/7/2011 10:12pm Forgot this: do not let people use your images commercially for free. Try to learn how to price your work in a competitive way. All Shooters need to eat, pay mortgages, buy new gear. Giving images away hurts everybody.

10/7/2011 9:45pm First, understand that too many lenses are chasing a very few opportunities.
So, to get in you need to network and introduce yourself.
Do you use LinkedIn? If not then start.
Who utilizes images at moto companies? Think Art Directors, Marketing Managers, etc.
Submit images that are unique and high quality - anybody can shoot a whip but can you...
