#1 Thank you GuyB and VitalMX for giving permission to promote our new website here!
This week we went live with a new website designed for the fans and enthusiasts of our sport to help out privateers and amateur racers with resources you already have. The goal is to create a massive community throughout the country that racers can go to for almost any form of help and support as they chase their dreams of making a SX Night Show or qualifying for an Outdoor National. Although MX and SX are the primary focus for now we fully support the other disciplines of racing such as cross country, enduro, flat track, etc.
Please feel free to go check it out www.privateerlife.mx
Again we went live with it this week so there are still some bugs to work out here and there, but I encourage you to sign up either as a racer, a supporter or just spread the word to others that would be able to help or benefit from the services and support offered by the website. Ultimately we will have a smartphone app to make things easier on the road for racers to access, but we're not there yet. We're pushing hard to promote it now so it can really be in full swing when the Nationals start in May and Loretta's in the summer.
The cards we'll be passing out in Oakland will look like the images below. It also gives you more of an insight of what the site is about. Thank you for your support in advance and we always welcome feedback on how it could be better so feel free to e-mail me at garrett@privateerlife.mx

For one, it's not particularly clear. There's a help wanted section ($) but doesn't specify who needs help. Might be a good idea to make a section for supporters to offer up odd jobs to priveateers to make a little cash, and a section for the riders who need a mechanic or help with something that they're willing to pay for.
Also I'd like to see a list of all the riders on the site, say a rider search bar. From there I can donate money, or see any posts that rider has.
As far as donating money, you could link up with paypal. IMO you'd be better to set up your own money transfer thing, I have no idea how much work that'd be. However I hate paypal, and you could keep the transaction fee to keep the website running.
"Small Jobs- Quick $" where I envision this being a place a racer can make a quick $20 for gas by raking leaves, mowing a lawn, etc.
We haven't looked into the money donation thing too hard yet as that has been done to a point and I'm trying to put the site out there as one where fans can help with resources they have now without having to come out of pocket so to speak. We may look into this when the site starts gaining legs though as a lot of feedback I've received from racers is just the gas money to get from race to race is a big thing.
Thanks again for the feedback and please sign up if you're able as a supporter and spread the word!

My first thought was I wish I new of a privateer that needed a bed for the weekend, as it would have been good to help someone out.
I'll be reviewing and signingup as a supporter ASAP.
I've always thought Heck I could provide a good race home base for So Cal racers passing thru.
Love Your Work!!

We'll also have some great quality shirts for sale for men and women on the site hopefully by next week. Thanks again for running the stickers and let me know if you want anymore!
