Hey Everyone,

I’m new to this board but from what I’ve seen it looks pretty active. I ride in the DFW area several times a week. Also my wife and I get down to Austin (Travis and Town Lake) 6-8 times a year to party and ride. I teach so I have the summer off and I’m planning a tour of TX in the next few weeks. So if any of you know of a few spots I should check out let me know! Also, if any of you like to party and ride and happen to find yourself in the DFW area let me know and I’ll get you on the water. Check out at http://www.benrud.net it should give you a decent idea of what my wife and I are like. Love to travel, ride, meet good people and enjoy life!

If you have a 2-3 minutes could you also take a look at http://www.cirewear.com It’s a “rider inspired” Boardwear company my good friend Eric has recently started. Let me know what you think about the logo, site, products, price, mission etc… Anything you can offer I will greatly appreciate. I’ll pass it on to Eric and hopefully it will help him improve this new company that is looking to cater to our needs.

Eric is always looking to sponsor popular events. He just handed out 1000 shirts at the Pro Volleyball Tournament in LA last weekend, he’s a sponsor of a “kids learn to surf” clinic in LA this summer, he’s planning on sponsoring a wakeboarding event in TX (Fall Bash or Waketober Fest) and he has a booth at the PWT in Irvine, CA on the 17th and 18th. Kim and I will be with him at the PWT.

Thanks again for your time and comments. Hopefully we’ll catch you on the water this summer.

Is anyone willing to check out cirewear.com and give me a few comments on the site, logo, mission, etc....? Eric is working hard to build a "rider inspired" line. Since all of you are riders I'd love to hear from you!

At the very least fire off a comment on my skills as a "wildlife" photographer!

Yea, my wife saw that the other day. I would say thank, but it swelled her head to know that people on several sites are taking her pics off of our site and posting them in "hot chick" threads. She's been a handful the last day or two! Actually she's been a handfull for years.... that's why I love her!

They got the pics off of http://benrud.net/pics/index.shtml

Enjoy!
