First of all, I just wanted to say thanks for all of the support, the follows on Twitter and the fans on FaceBook.  We have been really proud of our quick success thus far. Our “Twisted Stone” brand is getting out there slowly but surely and pretty soon “Twisted Stone” will be a household name.   Well, at least in this household.  So, thanks.

Secondly, I would like to wish you all “Happy Holidays”.  I celebrate Christmas with my family and friends so I may let a Merry Christmas slip out on occasion. Nothing wrong with that, right? So, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all. It’s looking like snow for us on Christmas and that’s always a great experience, except of course if you had to travel in it.  Plan ahead, leave 2 minutes early and get to the airport on time.  Talk about FREE content. That advise is priceless and you didn’t have to pay a dime for it. Call it my Holiday gift to you. Now you won’t be late for dinner.

We have been working on a few other really great pieces of fresh content for the site for the last few months. Yes, even better than that last bit I just shared with you. We would like to post them on our site, but we were thinking about promoting a membership site instead.  Of course all of the content would be free to start and once you’re in you’re in, but we would like to eventually have a premium area on our site as well.  For now we are looking to add some training videos, diet plans, race and gear reports and maybe a forum for members to communicate with each other about there own stuff. I know there are sites like this already, but we are going to try to do some different stuff.  I’m not sure what that is yet, but that’s our plan.  Anyway, the reason for all of this babble is to find out what you guys think we should be putting in the members area.  If you have any ideas of what would make for good content, we would love to hear it.  We have a lot of great stuff coming up, but we would also like to know what you want to see, hear or read about. You will know as soon as I know when this membership thing happens. I will post it somewhere, I’m sure.  When it does happen though, you should probably try to get in while it’s all free.  It could be free forever, but who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Below is a small form to fill out if you have any ideas for the site or just want to say hello. Keep it clean, you never know who’s reading these emails.  By filling out the form below, you become an automatic member whenever we go live.  Once you’re in you’re in.  Free for life.  If you don’t have any ideas but just want to be kept in the loop and become an early member, you can fill out the form below as well, just to say hello.  By filling out the form below you would be helping us out tremendously.  I know, I’m always asking for favors, but this is the last one. For now.

So help us out, let us know what you would like to see, hear or read about and we will try to do just that. Remember, this is about mountain biking, any type of mountain biking.  XC, DH, Tandem, Freeride, Endurance, Extreme, you get the point. Anything and everything that has to do with Mountain Biking and all things mountain biking. Plus some great cross-training fun stuff too. Please note that we may publish your question or suggestion in our blog if we think that there are more of our members who may show some interest. We may use your first name to credit your your input.  (Your email will NEVER be published)

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays

Uli (T. Stone)
