Hello everyone! It has been a long yet very fun and exciting fall season for Team Thunderstruck! Traveling over 24,000 miles and attending or putting on over 17 different shows or premieres, we have been BUSY!! I know many are e-mailing about when certain things on this website will change and here are my answers!!!
First of all, we are almost caught up on orders. We should be 100% caught up by WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28th. The clothing line really exploded and we are finalizing inventory so we can put what is left back up on the site for sale. When we do you will notice the most popular sizes and styles are all sold out and we will not be ordering more this year. We will be ordering all new designs for next year and will have them out much earlier next year. DVD orders are almost caught up also and lo and behold, our inventory on DVDs is dwindling fast also. There are now 5 TS titles that are almost 100% sold out. So if you ever wanted to own TS4 or TS2 or TS4.5 or TS5 or TS5.5 you should order soon! We will have all DVD orders caught up by Wednesday also.
A few other things on my TO DO SOON LIST:
1. Update the Photo gallery from our amazing riding season!
2. Update the Lifestyle pictures! This will be great!
3. Update our sponsor page with our new sponsors.
4. Update riding team pictures and specs for the 2008 season!
5. Add the hats to the online store.
There are some very exciting things in the works this coming year. With help from our sponsors, TS7 will be BY FAR the best Thunderstruck movie ever. We have also starting production and editing on one of the coolest TS movies you will ever see! It is the BEST OF THUNDERSTRUCK FILMS… But it will be SO different than any other movie you’ll ever see. Each main TS rider will have their own “best of” section but interlaced throughout the film will be the defining moments in all of Thunderstruck history! For instance, an amazing Brad Story section may slip directly into the “Top 10 Thunderstruck crashes of all time” complete with rider interviews and dialogue from other TS riders! This is a huge production and will truly be a complete documentation of what Thunderstruck has done the last 10 years!
Also, we have sold all of our old “DV” cameras except one and we now are filming 100% in HD. That’s right, HIGH DEFINITION. We are currently in the works for portraying TS7 in hi-def somewhere for all to see. The bulk of TS7 DVDs will still be on DVD-9s (normal DVDs). But keep posted on the developments in this realm!!
I also want to throw out a HUGE thank you to all of the Thunderstruck riders who helped out with the premieres and the Snow Shows! Especially Mark Mesenbrink, Dan Davidoff, Scott Marquart and Doug Anderson! Many others did so much for the promotion of TS6 and I must thank all of them from the bottom of my heart! Thank you all the riders of Team Thunderstruck!
Finally, a HUGE thank you to all the fans out there who came to the premieres and the Snow Shows and supported the Thunderstruck riders. I have always said without fans we are just a bunch of old sledders making home movies so we appreciate you all very much!!! Don’t forget, next year you can meet the riders at the shows if you missed them this year!
Keep tabs on this site, there will be many additions in the next couple weeks and throughout the 2008 season!!! Thanks again!
