Steve Matthes hard at work building his global media empire
I'm currently in Las Vegas, preparing to drive out to Anaheim in a couple hours for the first round of the AMA Supercross series. My good friend and colleague, Steve Matthes, flew me out to his Vegas home and then to make the road trip with him to California for the big race. Steve's been working hard growing his www.pulpmx.com website and his Pulp MX radio show and things are really starting to take off. As someone who's been involved in the industry for a long time, first as a mechanic and then as a journalist, he's amassed an impressive collection of moto memorabilia so I thought I'd quickly showcase a few photos from his studio.
Check them out....

Steve's co-workers have the same strong work ethic that Steve's used to build his media empire.
Who doesn't love an original JT ALS-2 helmet?
Steve's also the goggle guy for X-Brand goggles so he was building all the goggles needed for their sponsored riders to get through the weekend.
Steve's got a news reader now for his radio show. This is "Tits Legendary's" work station.
Of course there's Rollerball memorabilia here. Will De Clerq just sent this over from his archives.
Carmichael and Lechien jerseys grace the wall.
Steve is testing a new, prototype Nintendo game system.
In case you didn't know, Steve's a big Wendall Clark fan. Who else would have a signed Clark Islanders jersey? The Emig number one jersey is cool though.
More Rollerball stuff.
Matthes shows off his own sweet photo skills with this Dungey shot.
It takes all sorts of wires and switches to make the Pulp MX show a reality. It almost looks like a real radio studio.
Some of the riders Steve has worked for in the past...plus a Carey Hart poster for his wife, Angie.
Some Canadian flavor: A signed KD Beets jersey from his 2008 SX campaign.
The last ever Racer X Canada cover plus a Tortelli jersey.
There's just a slight Tim Ferry theme to Steve's collection. Here's a story he wrote for Racer X about the great 15.
