Joey,
You can't say that you like to play devil's advocate, you have to try to play devils advocate and you are walking a fine line with all the Polaris money that get's dumped in your lap.
I'm sure this is going to get me kicked off the site but I'm really hoping to see an honest race report with some action photos of not only Polaris but all the other machines that were entered in the race. Seeing is how Polaris funds all of the things that are going covered it's pretty safe to say that this race report as well as media coverage (photos and video) will be based around the factory supported Polaris teams and will only highlight some of the other teams those being mostly Polaris as well.
It would be great to see a true un-biased forum but when you Joey D. are riding co-dawg in one the premiere Polaris Racing rides it's hard to see that changing on this site anytime soon.
I can't wait for the FULL race report...
Give me a FN break!! Go back and read any damn race report I WRITE! I cover everyone fairly and honestly and post ALL photos that the photographers give me. Don't get the PAID Polaris videos confused with my RACE reports. Those are different. I always tell our photographers to shoot ALL UTVs. Not my fault if there are more Polaris images when there are more Polaris' racing.
I take offense when people make stupid comments about my coverage when I know damn well how hard I work at being unbiased and fair. If I am at a race I write a report from where I am standing with the info I have. In the case of this race, I was invited to race with the Jagged X team. I reiterate INVITED. I have been going to Baja for races for over 15 years and finally I had a chance to race. Sorry, I jumped at that opportunity and because of the story I have from Baja the story you will read will be from that standpoint. If you don't like that then I am sorry.
I will however post results, photos and I will give the props where they are do. All of these racers, Murray's, Burnett, Sappington, Jagged, Cognito etc etc etc.. These are all my friends! I am not some random dude sitting behind a key board jerking off Polaris all day because they pay me to do cool shit. If Polaris didn't give me budget do you think I could have a helicopter and 15 guys in Baja filming UTVs?? Polaris steps up and supports not just us but OUR SPORT, we need to ALL respect that and not COMPLAIN about it!
No one else I see, OEM or other competitive media sites like ours are lining up to do this work right now! I'll end my rant with this, if anyone is butt hurt because they don't get enough coverage and want video work from UTVUnderground.com then email me. We can work out the cost and details!
