What up Jason. Happy we met up on Maui that one time, and glad to see Maine is turning out to be a fun time for you as well with all the foiling and fishing.
I would think a good approach would be to contact some of the local media outlets who are usually pretty receptive and based in California. As you may recall Transworld got shuttered and Donn Maeda offered to buy the rights and keep it going, but was apparently denied, so he started his own media outlet:
www.swapmotolive.com The guys at
www.motocrossactionmag.com are usually pretty responsive to inquiries as well.
I'd think either outlet would be responsive to a photographer wanting to show what he can do in the Moto industry and at least give him some opportunities.
