Thanks...I'm sure we crossed paths at a bmx national in the early 80's... good luck...

I do not believe that you will be able to stay away from this asylum for long. I give you till february.

Thank you for all the work you have put in. Been around since 07 and appreciate all the effort.

You have been a great asset to our sport and contributed an endless amount of excellent coverage for all to enjoy across the globe. Thank you for all the hard work and sacrifice all these years. Enjoy your next chapter.

Congrats and good luck. Also, thanks for what you have done for the MX community.

You always did excellent work and will me missed. Best wishes on the new adventures.

Faux-derche ;-)))

Nice pecs

Awesome career Steve! Congratulations on all your success!

Best of Luck on your next chapter. I hope it’s your decision to walk and not influenced by the talk of others. Your talented at what you do. I understand the traveling grind, over 10 yrs of pipeline work. Flights get old storms grounding all flights, etc. I had a lot of family and friends always on me, to get off the road. So one day I did, local people really don’t do much. I missed traveling , so I went trucking. I don’t suggest that.

Congrats on a great career and steering the good ship Vital away from the many rocks, meltdowns and whirlpools you have encountered whilst at the helm.
Been great knowing you and meeting up at Budds Creek and MXDN 's over the years.
Have fun!!!!!!!!!!

"I knew that but didn't want to say anything"

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.😉 Just kidding! You've done great work and must have the patience of a saint.

You have ruled with a firm but fair hand. Thanks for the good times we've had on Vital, and the good times to come!

Thanks for everything Steve! Your work will be missed!

Best of luck in your ventures.

But if you recommend Cooksey to replace you, I think that all of us can agree that we would never want to talk to you again......!

Thanks Steve for all that you've done for this site, and covering the sport of course! It was a pleasure getting to meet Grant and yourself a couple years back. My real question is, is this secretly a sharp turn into a full-time iRacing career?

Thank you so much for all you’ve done Steve. I love this sport and I love this site more than any other place on the web. Your work will be missed but I hope you stick around for the banter on here! Good luck in whatever you choose to do!

Been here since 04 in Motodrive, congrats! Hope it's a nice gentle transition into retirement

Thanks for all of the content you've given us over the years, enjoy some quiet life and all the extra time you'll have on the MTB!

Vital's been one of the few media(all) constants for me since 2011 and (obviously) you were a big part of that Steve. Congratulations and Thanks! And yes, I visited the home page today.

Dude, thanks for not going too crazy on this wacky forum... all those miles do wear on ya... I used to LOVE to travel when I was in my 20s-40s... but now days, I've seen all that I want to see...

Hope you settle into a job that is much more family friendly.... and hope you retire as soon as ya can....

Thanks for running a great website full of amazing content… best of luck to you in whatever the future holds!

Thank you for all the years you've put in, your shoes will be hard to fill. All the best with your next venture be it semi retirement....full retirement you've earned it.

Thanks for all the hard work and great content over the years. It is truly the “go to” site for all things moto! Have fun on the next chapter…

60 is too old to be babysitting and editing all night. Great work over the years GuyB and good luck on your new journey.

Before you leave, make the upvotes anonymous. This site is setup to be negative the way it is now. There will be much more positivity (upvotes) once your members (the majority) can vote in anonymity and avoid confrontation from the vital pitch fork gang. Members will be able to agree with controversial members they don't normally agree with, and also be able to state their opinion in controversial topics without fear of getting profiled from an exposed upvote.

Until then, the majority of the vital posts will continue to portray a very inaccurate general consensus of negativity.

Adios and we'll see you at select races.

Steve, it was a pleasure meeting you IRL last year. Thanks for putting up with us for all of these years. I hope you have as much success in your future adventures as you have had in the past and present.

Thank you for Vital, and best wishes.
