not bad, maybe make a menu of your pages on the side or top of the page so its easier to see where you links are, instead of having to search the page to find your pics link. But looks good. Check out mine also, its still under its initial construction but got some content and pictures up.

It is a good start, but one thing I dislike (unless I am at work using the DSL) is a slow loading website.
One thing you can do, is to "thumbnail" your images. You make two copies of the picture, one large, and one small. That way, you have your pages load the small images (which load quickly), then you link them to the larger image. Then, if somebody wants, they can click and choose which ones they want to load. It takes a little more work, but I think it is worth it. When I go online from home (our phone lines suck, I only get 24000 bps), and a 'site doesn't load, I am sorry to say that I back up and go elsewhere.
You should make the main big picture on the front page, go directly to your pics page.
Looks like you have great riding spot, that mud looks awfully nasty!!!
I have to disagree with Jason though. Java is a waste. You have great content, (your pictures are very good), just go with your content. That is what everybody wants to see. I believe the majority could care less about flashy plug-ins and scripts.
My friend Bob, who is a "part time" web master, wants me to update my website. I have over 20 megabytes of video and pictures now. He thinks I should build this fancy database, so people can search for certain pictures. ie: Jumping, hill climbing, racing, etc. What do you think? I do know I have to do some house cleaning. It just takes too much time! (wa wa wa [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] )
