"XOM (Xtreme Offroad Magazine) was started because we live on the same side of the fence as the readers. Hell, I agreed to help out because I was pissed that there was very little or no valuable info in the current batch of rags and they are about as deep as a parking lot mud puddle. We do have to be responsive to the advertisers, but the type of advertisers that we attract usually started out the same way we are. . .They saw a need for themselves that was not being fulfilled and had the balls to go out and grind it out (literally sometimes). Not only that, but most of them make BADASS ****!!! I don't think BlueTorch or RockCrusher have to worry about a bad review and will be just fine with constructive feedback.
I have a little guest editiorial kind of thing towards the back of the mag that is completely themed around calling a spade a spade. . .Right in your Face. Calling it edgy might be an understatement.
Remember this guys: Cavey, What_Jeep, Laurie, et al, started this as a bunch of wheelers that were pissed about the current offerings. They found people like Brandon, Bill, and me that had various skill sets to bring to the table but were first and foremost wheelin' fools. I personally get on the trail 90 to 100 days per year. Now, we are signing up advertisers and subscriptions from people that are like minded and part of the same community. We are asking this community to rally behind Xtreme Offroad Magazine so we can have maximum impact and give you (us really) what you want. That way, you can actually learn something when you are on the ****ter rather than staring at a picuture of a useless pimped out mall queen that quite frankly, gives me constipation."
