Riding at the test site



Just a short distance from our offices we have one awesome testing facility, a lot of the sport riding you see on the show is shot at the compound. It covers an area of about 15 acres and has a full on MX track, mud bog area and trail riding. While it's hard to get a visual shot of this area it does exist and I'm going to see if there is a way to get an overhead shot sometime. Hey anyone have a helicopter or plane that wants to give me a lift? For now I'll put a few action shots of me riding there, never a dull moment!

New to all of this!


Its true that I'm a newcomer to the show for this season and while you may not see me until show 3 this year I've been working like crazy with the crew to get stories done and make the upcoming season the best ever. While all this TV stuff is sort of new to me I now realize that when Kyle our camera guy hits record on the camera something always jumps in front of the screen, the wind blows or more typically my dog Bailey comes over and drops a ball at my feet then proceeds to pick it up and drop it multiple more times until I stop what I'm doing and throw it....... I'm starting to realize just how funny but frustrating at times this video thing can be. Kyles good about it but we sure have a lot of outtakes that include a yellow lab!
