Young glam shooter Sam Dixon’s (ex-Orlando now mid-Atlantic) running hot with plenty of tasty exposure over on K.R. Ball’s bikernet.com. His brand new pub Biker Beauties (www.bikerbeauties.com) launches this month as a limited edition premier issue and already there’s serious talk of a national rollout within the year.

Over in Birmingham, Alabama, David Gomez is making a quieter entry into the b2b ranks with his smartly positioned Powersports Management (www.powersportsmag.com) startup. Drawing on the abundant editorial talent ranks of the Iron City, Dave’s got some fresh ideas on how to present industry buzz to his dealer audience. His premier issue (October) closes September 15th.

Both these titles offer the promise of a new slant on the powersports biz. It’s a tough road, but we think they can lay down some fresh rubber.
