Goba appointed as FRMX/TBAM Digital Guru

After a 10-year hiatus from the Morrison Media halls, Grant "Goba" O'Brien rejoins the moto team as newly-appointed Digital Content Manager of the Freerider MX and Trail Bike Adventure magazine websites: www.freeridermx.com.au and www.tbam.com.

Beginning his journalism career as a contributor to the very first issue of Freerider MX, Goba quickly assumed the position of editor to the magazine which has now become the biggest, longest-standing FMX magazine in the world. His time as editor helped stamp the magazine's authority worldwide as the number one freestyle motocross magazine with a global respect and following. Goba, currently the longest-running contributor to Freerider MX, is as passionate about the magazine today as he was ten years ago.

His interests and experience also span trail and adventure riding which has seen a similar contribution and editorial position with Trail Bike Adventure Magazine, again from the launch of the magazine. Extensive overseas travel and freelance photojournalism have added a new element to Goba's list of credentials, his understanding of new media and the importance of social networking to further engage with readers makes him the ideal candidate for the newly-created position.

"I've been looking for a new challenge of late and this opportunity came just at the right time. I think it's integral for both mediums to work side by side to give readers and the industry the ultimate outlet for news and advertising," Goba said.

"Websites are like kids; they need constant feeding. And if you don't keep new, exciting content coming, people move on quickly as there's a lot of competition online. I look forward to the challenge of getting both sites cranking," he said.
