I know they stopped printing a magazine this past year but they didnt do any covering of the biggest amateur race of the year that being lorettas and it doesnt seem theyve done any updating on their website since last month sometime. Whats the scoop here. Were they even at lorettas. another mx mag out of business? what gives

Chris is one of the best shooters and the mag has always been top notch. I emailed Chris on Tuesday asking when we might see some Loretta coverage and have not rec a reply yet..... I hope all is well.

Amateur MX was not at LL's in any manner, no representation, no photographer, no writer, no booth, nothing.

Hi all, yes we are still in business, but thanks to the economy and advertiser slow pay, we couldn't afford the expensive trip to Loretta's this year. However, we will still have coverage from Ponca and Loretta's in the next issue that I'm working on now. It's been a tough year, for sure, but we're still kicking. Thanks for all your concern.

It's hard for me to feel too bad about people that lack such common courtesy as to respond to e-mails or phone calls.

If they need something from you then they're all over it but the minute you need them to do something for you, good luck getting them to acknowledge you.

I really think Chris is the best shooter in the bus. He has taken some pics of Matt that were unbelievable.
