Over at TWMX.com

I haven't been over on their site in a quite awhile (last time I tried to read Observations the site was offline) so I was pleasantly surprised to see that A. the site was much faster than in the past and B. Swap has been busy with his video camera he has posted a ton of content.
First get inspired.. watch Ross from Enzo/ Kayaba work on walking again, he is gnarly. Second there is a good vid with MC (no riding just interview but it's MC) Third watch Josh Hill, he is a pleasure to watch, if his practice track style and speed completely carried over to race day he would be unstoppable. Next JLaw seems ready to come back and last but not least and I hope I don't jinx him but Weimer the future 2010 West Coast champ, was putting in his weekday laps and looks as confident on the practice track as he looks on race day.
Plus finally I got to catch up on all the 2010 Observations I missed, TWMX is lucky to have Matthes or I wouldn't have given them a second chance.

Donn has told me that they are killing it in hits lately, December and Jan were great and the upper bosses are super pumped about what they've been doing. The videos have been great, sure they are just a flip-cam with poor lighting or whatever but it's the riders direct reaction to his race.
Hopefully, I play a small part in the increased traffic with OBS and Podcasts.

I never used to go to the TWMX site in the past. Mostly because the few times I did try to access their site it was too slow or flatout wouldnt load. When Mathes moved over there, I thought bad move Mathes. But Ive been pleasantly surprised. I like Swaps video interviews, especially the post race ones. The riders genuinely seem to like doing them too.
So I went from never going to the site to going there a few times a week since the Mathis move. I still go to Racerx website just as often btw.

I agree - I am a big fan of OBS.
I give Matthes a hard time every now and then so we can get support for MX for Children but his OBS writing and DC's Racerhead are the best moto reads for me.
Yes, as much as I wasn't a fan of the website in past years, in the last 3 months it's been really loaded with video content and of course that's the new home of OBS. Swap and his guys have been awesome with their video cameras, bring so much stuff to our computers. Very cool.
