I've uploaded some more. It's not just the background.
I'm planning on making it a Mountain Biking forum for me to post my projects (bike related). Mostly posting stunts and trails. It's something i'll do in my free time.
Do the links not work?

I would change the opacity on the picture in your background. It is hard to see very much :)

Nothing, a buddy gave me the domain for free. Well he pays for it. And he gave me a subdomain.

Read this to gain some perspective on what not to do:

Even if you don't buy everything that he writes, just reading it will get you thinking about aspects of your site in new ways.
Using a copyrighted image as your background is not a very auspicious start IMO.

Don't worry. It's just a temp until I get a nice pic of me doing something crazy :)

Maybe, but I was thinking since I made a link in big bold text linking back to Joe's site he wouldn't mind. It's up to him or a mod I guess.

For the love of god, please don't tile images as a "background".
www.w3c.org is a good resource, at least make it html 4 or better yet xhtml 1.1 compliant.
