I know this has been done before but I am taking a whack at it. I have help, but I need more.
I want to make a magazine for standups. it will have to include all watercraft because the people who pay for advertising mostly won't be standup specific businesses. but I can still have extensive coverage of standup riding of all styles including racing.
I have an outline already but other ideas are welcome if you think you have a good one.
I am looking for help in covering some of this material. there is no money only the glory.
some ideas are doing a writeup on a pro- rider. a complete writeup, what ski he rides which will include pics, builder, parts, sponsors, favorites places to ride, ride style, basically I want to know everything there is to know about everything there is to know. I know who Ross Champion is but aside from meeting him for two seconds and how cool he is I basically don't know anything about him. I am in this arena- what would I know if I picked up watercraft world and saw he won some thing in France? I wouldn't! how is the world supposed to know anything about our sport if we don't show em and tell em?
I also want to feature a local rider. we all start somewhere - I think this would be good for other riders to see other people of there same ride skills and for the newbs it lets em know that it isn't as tough as it seems to ride.
here are some things I think should be in the mag, if you see something you want or can help with, including pics or if you are personal friends with someone who you think should be in here or are a pwc related business and want to advertise let me know.
1) Pros you should know- self explanatory
2) Competitions- freestyle, racing
3) Under the Hood- technical articles- performance, maintenance etc.
4) How to's- parts installs and tricks/riding
5) Cool tools- tools and products pwc related
6) Custom buildups- self explanatory
7) Company Spotlight- showcasing different pwc companies that make cool, unique, must have, everyday things we all need
8) Safety- gear, riding, places
9) Old School
10) Local Riders
11) Ride Groups- lets see who is out there
12) Ride Events- every year there are more and more of these. now they can be all in one place for people to see.
13) 2 Stroke perf and reviews
14) 4 Stroke perf and reviews
15) Down the line- future skis, things we would like to see, rumors, etc
16) Readers respond
I also have been kicking around a few names, but I am not in love with any yet. its not easy to come up with a catchy name that covers standups and sitdowns, freestyle, freeride, racing etc.
