    Re: Riding in the Zone

    Thanks guys.

    It's been quite a project. There is a DVD that comes with the book, which was as huge a project as the book itself.

    It will be sold in bookstores as well as online. I'll also have a supply to sell at Tony's Track Days...and of course I'll sign your books.

    I shot 95% of the photos, so some of you might be in there.

    Re: Riding in the Zone

    Ken,

    Will you have them available at this TTD....or do we have to wait for the official release date?

    Is that Jeannine on the cover of the large print version?

    Re: Riding in the Zone

    The final cover is the one with the blue bike. It's my wife Caroline at a TTD, shot by John Owens. As far as I know there is no "large print" version. I don't know why that's there.

    The book and video went into production just a couple of weeks ago, so I won't have any actual books until the end of the year.

    I really hope it helps people. I designed it and wrote it in a way that is more accessible (easy to access information) than other skills books on the market.

    The hope is that I can reach the riders who would not typically pick up and buy a skills book (which, lets face it, is the majority of riders). Having a video as part of the package will further encourage "non readers" to consider taking a look.

    With that in mind, the book has a wide range of skills, including what many of us would consider basics all the way up to the fundamentals of hanging off and trail braking.

    Coming soon: RidingInTheZone.com!

    Yea... You moved off of the fast line so that they could come through...







    I'm going to wait and buy my copy directly from "The Man" himself...




    Hey Ken... I would also be interested in retailing the book at my shop. Let me know how this might work.

    Directly buying from me nets me the most $, so I'll be happy to have a supply around to sign.

    Whitehorse Press is the publisher, so I'll have to ask them how it works for specific dealers to retail the book. I'll let you know.
