It is great to hear that so many of you truly appreciate the hard work that I have put into making this site grow over the past year, and I hope that things continue to fall into place to allow me to achieve even bigger things next year.
One of the biggest things that I have learned this year is that I am only one person, and if I want the site to continue to improve, I will need help from others. Several members stepped right up to the plate and were willing to do what ever I needed to make Exriders.com a better place. Without there support, I would have burnt myself out trying to maintain the site at the level that I wanted it to achieve.
With the continued growth of the site and extra features that I want to add for next year, I will need even more support from the members to make everything possible. The financial support from the supporting members have went along way in allowing me to upgrade the computer system and split the site up over two computers to keep up with volume of members. Also, I have purchased an extensive amount of equipment to capture the racing action. I still have a shopping list of hardware that I want to purchase for next year.
All of this will be great for the site, but the one thing that I really need next year is more people willing to help out with their time because I only have 24 hours in my day, and I just can’t fit everything that I want to do into my schedule. I hope many of those that helped out this year will continue to help out next year, but I still will need help from people around the Country.
I want to more to add more local race series to the Race Coverage, and I obviously can’t attend all of them myself. Also, I am looking for individuals that are interested in taken photos at riding areas around the Country and sharing there experiences with fellow ATV riders in a new section. Not everyone races, but everyone is always looking for the best places to ride or friends to ride with, so I want to hear your stories and see your photos. I also looking for some members that are technically inclined and what to share some of their knowledge with other members in helping to produce step by step instructions on installing things as simple as changing your oil to replacing your cams. Many of this information has been shared in the forums, but I want it put together in an organized location that members can easily find and reference whenever they need some help.
These are just a few of the things that I plan on trying to cover in the next year, and I have many more ideas that I am currently working on myself, but I need the help of the members to all of my goals possible.
If anyone is willing to help out, then I will set you as “Contributing Member” which will allow you to post photos and will receive some free stickers for your efforts. Also, I plan on holding drawings in the future for “Supporting Journalist”, Supporting Members”, and “Contributing Members” for some nice prizes to the lucky winners as a way of saying THANKS.
I hope everyone is as excited as I am for next year, so put on your helmet and hang on for an awesome ride into the future!!!
