Get the TV warmed up

My regular job as parts manager at Freehold Honda allows for some interesting fringe benefits. Among them is checking out all of the new DVD’s that come out this time of year.

In addition to the gaggle of motocross year in review and streetbike wheelie flicks I get the opportunity to check out some great Quad DVD’s as well.

As the snow starts to pile up outside and it’s too cold to ride grab a bucket of popcorn and check out some of these new flicks coming this winter and fall. [Read more]

What Am I Doing Here?

It’s a simple question; I’m sure people think of from time to time.  Whether you are stuck in a career you hate, have entered a race class that is way over your head, or, in fellow blogger Zac Willett’s case, waking up from a “long” night in an unfamiliar place.  So what am I doing here? Heck, I don’t know! I’ve contributed to a book, other than that I have very little writing; let alone “blogging” experience.  I hated English class in College, I already speak English.  Can’t I just test out of this class! E-mails can even be tiresome to me, although I seem to be great at texting. I can only assume I made some comment to ATV Sport Editor, Jerrod Kelley (J-rod) during a late night in Indy last February.  Or maybe ZW47 or Chuck D (side note: I need a nickname!) recommended me.  Either way and for what ever reason, I’m still glad to be here!

My goal with this blog is to inform you, the reader, about the goings on within the ATV media with an emphasis on ATV film and video.  I have over 16 years in the ATV industry as an enthusiast, a racer, and now a business owner (Premis Industries).   I tend to be very opinionated but also open-minded about the topics I discuss, so I am all for friendly discussions about it in the comment section below.  I plan on picking a topic within the industry that interest me to talk about and find a cool video clip or some other piece of media to end my blog with.

So what am I doing here? I’m still not totally sure.  Hopefully as I blog it will become apparent to me, and you.  For my first blog I’m sticking to a simple introduction and a little self-promotion (I promise, it won’t happen too often).

We have just finished production on our new film, The Factory.  We have always been very proud of our company’s ability to innovate and this is no exception.  The Factory is a documentary film about the Can-Am ATV MX Race Team.  It is a full length feature film shot entirely in HD.  Check it out when you get a chance; I’m sure you will be intrigued at the very least.  I have included a teaser below.

Keeping with my opening question, I feel I should leave you with this quote I picked up from a friend and fellow business man, Jim Lobaito.

“Be happy with where you are at in pursuit of where you want to be”

I know I’m happy with where I’m at, Are you?

Catch you on the flip side!
