MXCrazy was a forum site for motocross / supercross racers, family, friends and fans. I have ridden motorcycles since I was a youth and our regular communications board was closing down as the owner was retiring. I needed an excuse to improve my web development skills so I built a forum site. After a year it became the most popular Motocross forum in the South Central U.S. For 8 years straight the site averaged over one million hits a month. As the site gained in popularity I added new features like photo boards, an arcade where users could challenge others to friendly games and other features. When the site became more and more popular it became too expensive to fund as a hobby and I reached out to Motorcycle Shops, Tracks, Trainers and others in the industry to sell banner ads to support the site. Coordinated MXCrazy events at local tracks to support the site,local charities or injured riders. Worked with investor to import MXCrazy branded motorcycles and sold them and other merchandise in online marketplace. Sold MXCrazy in 2010 to a competing site / track owner as I was ready for a new challenge.
