In Topic: Who is Jason Raines Talking About?

18 May 2012 - 06:29 PM

I tweeted Jason and the offroad viking guys asking to just say who it is and they wouldn't... Said they're going to put GoPros on their riders next race and film it.

Which makes me wonder, if you're a website that sponsors a team why wouldn't you put GoPros on your riders every race?

Hoop,

Do you know if there is any truth to the rumor that Brown wants to race GNCC?

I heard last week that KTM spent about a week in Baja in a helicopter scouting out the terrain.


He told me before that he'd like to do it, the problem they have--right now at least--is they have so many guys out this way as it is...

I've heard something along those lines but it was more geared towards next year. Its sounding like next year could possibly be a rough year for east coast racing. On the other hand it seems these rumors are floating around every year, ie ktm pulling out of worcs...again.


What I heard was for this year...

KR signed a 2-year deal for 2012/2013 and Mullins has 2 years left on his so KTM will have at least two guys on the East Coast. Mike Brown also signed a 2-year deal at the beginning of this year so not sure if they'll have him race WORCS and Baja or if maybe they'd send him East if they do decide to pull out of WORCS...

Still waiting on the "official" PR for this one, but heard some interesting stories at the Enduro last weekend... The main theme was one of restructuring the team to find more budget for their Baja effort. No one at KTM seemed to be on the same page, and one rider seemed a bit worried if he'd still be racing two series after the weekend.

For the exposure that much better thing... one live airing on NBC of the outdoor nationals will get more viewers than an entire season of RacerTV. So, yeah, the exposure is better...
