Dmitry Pavlovsky
Founder / Editor-in-Chief
Dmitry has been riding since 2015 when by chance he took an MSF class. From then on he was hooked and the rest became history. He's now an MSF RiderCoach himself, a graphic designer by trade and a writer when time permits.
Niki Smith
Founding Contributor & Resident Artist
Niki has loved motorcycles all of her life. Three days after her 18th birthday, she aced the two-day MSF course and immediately started riding her Harley Davidson Sportser 883XL whenever she could. Art has also been a part of her life as far back as she can remember, starting to scribble at the age of five. Now, she's a digital artist by trade - having gone to school for a degree in Graphic Design Specialization. She creates anything from company logos to detailed paintings. Her new-found love is painting motorcycles and portraits of the people who ride them!
Greg Lightbourn
Founding Contributor & Resident Photographer
Born in 1961 in the desert- Bakersfield CA, Greg got into motorcycling late in the game - at the age of 59 - although having been an avid cyclist all his life, it all came naturally. He loves his Triumph Bonneville and is working on some customization as he is a tinkering geeky fool! He's living in the desert now, getting back to his roots. Building and flying FPV freestyle drones, riding motorcycles and camerawork are his passions - his adventures keep him wanting more.
Em Bone
Founding Contributor
Emily learned to ride in 2018 by taking a motorcycle safety class. Three days later she went out and bought her first bike and has been obsessed ever since. Emily now teaches those very same classes. Whenever she's not out riding, she's probably having a dance party in the kitchen while baking up something sweet, or hanging out with the Pickles.
Ray Estonina
Founding Contributor & Video Content Provider
Ray has been riding since the 80s. Born & raised in San Francisco where he Ran to a Flock of Seagulls through the Purple Rain and grooved to the Rebel Yelling sounds of that period. He's a surfer, a SCUBA diver, a kayak enthusiast and a Navy sailor. Gotta be near that water!
