July 7
I want to specially thank Ron Taylor (Sean's dad)
and Cody Harris from the Montezuma race on Sunday for doing
some wrenching on my quad. I greatly appreciated it!!!
Another special thank you to Charlie Weber for his help and support during my 1st race with the C class!
An even bigger thanks to the staff at Montezuma
and Zach Clark who assisted me after I wrecked.
All is good just plenty of bruises :)
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE
FOR YOUR WORDS OF SUPPORT BOTH DAYS!

MARCH 16
NEW SPONSOR 4skinzseats has hopped aboard and is giving all sponsored riders a discount (see rider news for details) off their custom upholstered seats!!!!!! Their seats normally run $80-$100 so their prices are extremely reasonable! Their website is still under construction, but keep checking back and visit them for now at http://www.myspace.com/4skinzseats and give Tim a call at: 330-418-1916 they can also be reached at f4skinz@aol.com

Star Lanes Bowling and Cafe out of Montezuma, Iowa will also be offering Thede Riders a 10% discount off of their total bill. So be sure to visit them before or after the races for great bowling fun and GREAT FOOD!

MARCH 9
NEW SPONSOR Glann Innovations has stepped up and offered sponsorship to all Thede Riders for 2008! ALL THEDE RIDERS WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT (see rider news for details) off parts!  Be sure to check out his site and his myspace!

THEDE PHOTOGRAPHY Schedule now online - Click here to see where I'm going to be at this year! District 22 Schedule is now online also!

FEBRUARY 17
GREAT NEWS! Thede Photography has a new sponsor for 2008! MotoXNutrition!
Their products are like NO OTHER and are specifically DESIGNED for MOTOCROSS. I will be giving samples to a select few within the month, so if you are interested in trying this product - let me know! ALL THEDE RIDERS WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT (see rider news for details) off their order from MotoXNutrition with our discount code! Be sure to email me for the code! This is NOT a daily supplement it's a "night before" and "day" of the race supplement. There is also a recovery supplement  for the "night/day" after the race.

I personally have tried this product and just from being out on the track I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. This does NOT contain ephedra, caffeine, guarana or other known "stimulants" that would make you shaky or nervous.

You can take it other than motocross, but on the track is where you will see and FEEL the TRUE results. Montezuma practice day on the 29th of March is when I am going to kick this off, but if any of you are going up to the Sandbox the 22nd of March I can provide you a sample then.

This product is backed by John Natalie #13, Trent Kandel #751, Angela Butler #88, Kyle Bard #16, Keith Little #12 and Josh Creamer #9!

FEBRUARY 15, 2008
Sponsorship Spot- Coming soon on my front page - picked up a sponsor - one that I will 100% back! I'm picking up savings and passing them along to ALL of my riders - hopefully more sponsors to come - if I pick up a sponsor - SO DO YOU! Spread the word.... If you know of anyone that may be interested in sponsoring OUR TEAM - LET ME KNOW! Sponsors are MORE LIKELY to sponsor a TEAM than an INDIVIDUAL - so let's FIND'em and BRING'em to OUR TEAM!

Sponsored Riders - Sponsorship packets have been sent out 2/14/08 - you should be receiving them within a week (you know how the mail goes!) If you did NOT get stickers in your packet and you need some - PLEASE email me asap. I will be getting a sticker order in within the first couple weeks of March.

Cody Harris #310 update! "I'm back to training hard for this season, hopefully I will be able to race a few towards the end of the season. I will do a few locals to get back in the groove." Thanks for the update Cody!!

HITTIN' the SANDBOX! I will be up at the Sandbox Arena February 9 to shoot the quad race. BIke and Quad riders - get up there! If you haven't been up to the Sandbox, you are truly missing out on a GREAT TRACK! It's worth the drive!

I have added on another track! I am now official photographer for Walnut, Illinois' track - Sunset Ridge MX!! Hope to see a lot of Thede Riders there this year and in turn to draw Illinois riders to OUR TRACKS! I have managed to draw riders to Iowa from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri for this year! IT WORKS!

There WILL be a District 22 for 2008!
There is a new board and a meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Okoboji in Newton. I am on the board for 2008 so if you have any comments or concerns and can not attend, please email me and I will bring them up at the meeting. This is HUGE guys - your support is necessary to keep District 22 together!
