and it's looking good Jackie! I like the black background throughout and the simple single photo on the home page.
Very tidy. 8)
I see the sidecars have been separated out... can I make a suggestion for another subject?

Pit shots. The behind the scenes photos of bikes and people in the pits, unloading bikes, the flaggies etc.
The action shots are great (and expected) but behind the scenes is where the human interest lies.

Just a thought. ;)

Looks great Jackie! Good layout and like the way the images enlarge when you go over them.
 Would it be any good to have an around the states section or something where for example: Someone from the Victorian series Vipermx or VCM can email you good selected photos and you could load some of them? It may be too hard and too time consuming. Time is hard to come by unless your injured  ;)  ;) :D like me..
I like to look at the QLD photos to see what the guys ride and what the tracks are like, and others may like to do the same with other states.
Just a thought  8)
Maico's, the only way to go.

mxmaniac sorry to hear your injured nothing too serious i hope, thanks for your suggestion however I have a pretty hectic life at the moment and would find it hard enough to keep up with what I'm doing already. I would be happy to add links to my website if that would be of any help.....

Keep Smiling :)

Thanks Jackie, a great site, I look forward to gracing the "Faaark" page.

As far as Wombat's suggestion goes, as long as we don't get pics of fat old bastards in their undies trying to get knee braces on..... ;D

The irony here is that I am a fat bastard with two knee braces to struggle into!

At the bottom of all my post i have the same Quote, and it is now my turn to give thought also,before I drink from the well. Nobody probably knows this except for those close to me, but a few years ago I contacted Graeme here at oZvmx and asked if he would be interested in a few articles as I was studing journalism at the time, to my surprise he said yes and encouraged me all the way, I sent photos also which Graeme also posted, I look back at some of the first lot of photos I took, and lets be honest they are pretty shit, but still, Graeme continued to encourage me.
Today I received an email from Graeme and yes once again it was only encouragement and support for my new website. So Graeme, I would like to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart,because in all honesty I would not of got this far, if it wasn't for your support.  Thankyou.

Keep Smiling  :)
