Hey all,
We collectively wanted to go public and let everybody know of some new developments with Dirt Passion. You might have noticed my Avatar and Sig change here on the RM forum, well we are joining forces to make an honest hard core effort to put the region on the map. We honestly believe this is NOT about us and SOLELY about you all, the riders, racers, builders, etc (that's our charter) and we know we can't make this work without your support.
The first major combined effort will take place at Nationals.... more on that later! We can't wait!
Any questions or comments, let us know. Thanks All!
Jay

Dirt Passion's First Case!.... The SouthEast
South East? A Mountain Bike scene? Really? You bet your sweet bippie! Four names that have recently made ripples in the Carolinas, Dirt Passion (Sam Anderson, Chris Annesi, Jacob Teer) and Jay Schultz are joining forces to turn those ripples into waves.
Why you ask? All too often the most visited internet mountain bike websites rarely have any coverage of events, races, teams, riders, trails, builders, etc. featuring the South East region. The new partnership at Dirt Passion is taking on that challenge with the goal of delivering just that. Dirt Passion is morphing into a complete media house offering professional cinematography, photography, press/media relations and promotions for anything and all things throughout the SE region. Distribution of this media will be directed to all social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, etc) and all mountain bike specific internet sites (Pinkbike, Vitalmtb, etc).
Dirt Passion literally seemed to bubble out of the North Carolina mountains like ground water with Finding Flow, a 26 minute edit featuring local riders, trails, and riding. That release proved that Sam, Chris and JT have what it takes to bring the long deserved attention of what this region has to offer the mountain biking scene.
Jay Schultz, whom has been handling all things Press and Media related for Team BGB-Mountain Khakis in 2011 and 2012, has had a long passion for photography stemming from a past life spent on the motorsports circuit. That passion for shooting sport action still remains, now with a two vision instead of a four wheel vision.
Quote from Jay Schultz, Theres recently been lots of talk about rarely ever seeing anything online about the SE and we realized those people were right. I think there is some new momentum thats come up in recent months with putting this region on the radar. This partnership is the natural progression and next step for bringing attention to what this area has to offer. We realized that we couldnt can't get there alone with just pics, with just PRs, or just vids, but combine the three and weve got the formula for success. If there is one thing we want all readers to take-away from this report .. this is not about us, it is about YOU, the RIDERS! We need your support out on the trail to make this a success. First the Southeast, then the rest of the world .. World Domination! Watch Out!
The first combined effort for this passionate group all under the name Dirt Passion will take place at the U.S. Gravity Nationals at Beech Mountain Resort. Details on that effort to come, so STAYED TUNED!
