• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

National Enduro Series on MAV TV

My DVR caught the Sumpter National Enduro last night. If you are number 2A on a Husky I saw you on there. It was really good coverage and even has Mark Hyde chasing the pro riders through the woods. I think there is even an extra hour of coverage of the amateur ranks. I fell asleep so not sure on that. Pretty cool that TV is covering our sport.
 
I will be recording both hours today, I think at 10 and 11 am. I like watching the trials on that channel also, it is a pretty good channel especially in HD.
 
The second hour is footage of 3 of the amateur classes, 250A, Vet A and one other class. Unfortunatley for me I don't know a soul with that channel.
 
Arod..
do you recall seeing anyone with TV like cameras at the Alligator? I don't.... Would take Stanley and Livingston and Ho Chi Mihn and Crocodile Dundee to get a camera crew into that one with all the vegatation!

BANZAI!!!
 
I just watched the Cherokee National Enduro and it was awesome. There was a heckuva' contrast between the fast guys and some Husky rider Tim Blanton lol.

I am noticing from the first 2 shows aproponderance of KTM coverage due to the number of them at any event. However, there is soo much coverage of Bergs also. Oh wait.......snap......who owns them? Very one company centric stuff on the amatuer hour portion. Pro hour shows no bias but the ametuer part......

Pro's aren't watching to decide what they are riding next year!:busted:
 
I think that one amateur Husaberg Rider must be related to the camera man. I wish I got that kind of coverage, oh yeah you have to be there to be on TV. I agree there is a lot of coverage on them but I am just glad to see our riding on TV. It can only be good for our sport. It is a shame that the MAV channel is so hard to get for most people.

I'm not sure there's a bias at all just an actual representation of the number of orange bikes amongst us amateurs. They didn't ask or care about my bike brand before using my sd card.

wasnt so much orange as our "swedish cousins" Alot more now but nowhere near the amount of orange. And as Tim pointed out Billy burns being related to camera crew (jokingly)
Nice helmet cam shots....I guess they just asked after seeing a helmet cam on you
