Thanks Gary, appreciate you putting this in the forum as I know not many people make it over to the main page. As a long time ST forum lurker, user, and contributor it was great to finally get that interview ;) It was a great chat with Herbert, and more than happy to answer any additional questions on here.
Brad, good to see this BUT as your friend I am going to call you out. You need to be posting on hear MORE now that you are racing pro, so let's see and hear more from you in that vein. It is also a great channel for your sponsors and building a community around you. You posted much more as Joe age grouper.
Dev- I would still say I am pretty active on here. There is just so much knowledge on here that if I don't feel I can add to the conversation then I just keep to myself. I do agree with it being a great channel for my sponsors and building a community, and I think it has done just that over the years. I don't plan on up and leaving the ST community just because I am starting in a different wave now.
Also, a bit different now that I am not stuck at a desk for 8-10 hours a day. It was a lot easier to sit on ST and read through every post that was "hot" at the moment and actively engage in those. Now that I am not stuck at a desk with very little to do I am actually having to work when I sit at the desk and stay productive. So a bit different now and that also probably contributes to the "posting less" as well.
Hope all is well and all the best with your racing this year!
Brad, I would flip it around the other way. As a neo pro, generally the media is not going to be seeking you out to tell your story. You might need to do what marketing people in small companies need to do in a landscape dominated by big fish. Insert your story into the channels. Inserting your story is now part of your work too so think about it that way. Aside from some of us on this forum, no one cares that you're riding reasonably fast (well, as I said we do), until you're winning overall. So in the mean time, tell your story. You've done that on the front page, but won't get that chance weekly, but this forum, your twitter and fb, are all good avenues and that's part of your new work.
