    You tube for racer profiles

    I just saw this video of a 14 year old racer on youtube (although she's now 15) and thought it was a pretty neat way to get through to sponsors and the riding community. Have any of the local young riders put up vids etc. I guess it makes more of a connection especially when the rider is talking to the camera over the static web stuff.

    Cool! A sponsors dream I would say. I bet she spends all evening getting the wind-knots out of her pony tail.

    Dream or not... the point was it seems a good way to create an advert for a rider and to connect with people. It's also free. So iguess it's not really used by local riders.

    I have seen youtube used for all sorts of commercial presentations.

    You Tube is a fantastic media, uploadable in multiformats, and accessable worldwide, linkable, embeddable, downloadable, no need to send huge file formats via email. And the site stores the vids, no need for saving to disc!
    Brilliant - I'd encourage it!!!

    You could put together a professional presentation for sponsorship proposal, or just get your racing out there to your fans!

    The other thing is if Teams, or Racers had facebook "fan" pages, detailing history, what's current, links to you tubes, links to news articles, websites.. and photo's...you can create a fanbase utilising Youtube.

    You can create events, invite fans, or link to events, say for instance VMCC winter rounds, "have a go days" and spread it through the networks..

    Without the cost of websites. Freestuff!!!!!!

    It's a great idea, as has been said its free as well. Might try it. One thing I noticed off topic though is the condition of the track! Christ we complain about Taupo
    Wouldn't be racing if it wasn't for:MotoMart, Pirelli, EBC Brakes, Ripecoffee.co.nz, Slotmedia.co.nz, Totalbodyshop.co.nz and Wurth

    Exachary! Was hoping you'd do that as an example mate!!

    If all NZ Racers, Teams and Clubs joined into this kind of a network, and networked up together, just my opinion but.. I recon rebuilding fan base in NZ on profiles and events has got to be WIN WIN!!

    Its a start towards something that I notice is a reoccurring thread.

    Marketing, Promotion, Sponsorship and Exposure, without fans, sponsorship, and promotion, you have no exposure, and no numbers to watch you at the tracks.
    The technology is there, and, it's waiting!
