Women's dirt mag

Tamera and Dave have started putting together their website for the mag they're trying to put together for women riders. They are looking for stories from women riders on how they got started in the sport, injuries and accidents, and what I think is gonna be a hoot to read about ... stories of men behaving badly while riding with the women, lol. All street and dirt stories are welcome.

Also if you guys/gals know of any shops/biz places that would be interested in helping please direct them to the site. I think this is gonna be a great way to give women an inside look on different types of riding/racing and what they can do to get started. Oh, and pay no attention to the messy haired girl on the cover. :clown:

The main target is women of course, lol. But they understand too that they need some big names to catch peoples attention and stuff ... just us little local riders won't sell the mag, lol. Women who are possibly uptight might not like the titles of the departments and stuff ... but that's a chance they're willing to take.

Each quarter they will feature a new rider. Also, Tamera is working on gettting some of the local dealers to donate and or loan out bikes for a meet and greet type deal. This would be a chance for girls/women to come on out and try some different bikes and maybe get some riding lessons too. As well as getting familiar with gear and bike maint. stuff too.

This is where Tamera and Dave are kinda starting ...

""We are targeting all types of advertisers, for the first few issues they will be industry related and as we progress we will add female interest ads as well as health and beauty. Subscriptions are available on the internet at our website, we are trying to get approx. 1,000 retail outlets to sell the magazine at the counters throughout the western united states. So far everyone has agreed to sell the magazine, we are offering a great incentive for retailers. We will list the available retailers on the website as well. Good questions! Encourage everyone you know to go on the website and submit their stories and pictures for our regular departments.

We had a fun visit with Rekluse on Wed. one of the gentlemen recognized your face on the cover! I love it!!!!"

The first issue is due out in March for the AMA hare scramble being put on here at Little Gem Cycle Park.

Oh ... and keep in mind ... the 'dog house' category is meant for humorous situations. We don't want any mean stories that might scare off people.

If nothing else this thread demonstrates how quickly things can wind up going in a different direction than intended if there are no standards.

Do you want the latest issue proudly displayed on the coffee table and offices of your subscribers for everyone to enjoy or do you want it hidden under Taffy's pillow or on top of the toilet next to his Hustler collection? :lol:
