Welcome everybody to another edition of FXR Racing, Race Tech Suspension, Privateer Island podcast.

This is number 51 in the series.

Each week we talk to guys who are located on Privateer Island and they try to get off and what they need to do to get off and everything else.

But this guy on the line, I'm not so sure he wants to get off the privateer island.

It sounds like he's going on with his life without worrying about that.

It's Derek Anderson.

What's up, Derek?

How are you, man?

Are we doing all right?

Just got off work and just enjoying life right now.

How are you guys doing?

We're good, man. Like I said, I do this show, and I talk to a lot of guys that are chasing

the dream, which you did at one time. And I talked to a lot of guys about trying to move into a factory

truck and what they need to do and how the racing's going and living in their vans.

But for you, yeah, you've got a job, man. but you just showed up at lakewood and uh did very

very well and i figured we talked to you but uh what do you do for a living yeah well uh motocross

was basically my college so it's kind of hard for me to find a good place to land um considering

what i wanted to do with my career and everything and got this nice little inside

job working up in oil and gas in Greeley, Colorado, and for not really knowing anything,

I mean, it paid pretty well to start out, and I was working for switch a couple different

companies, and actually now I contract for myself, and it seems to be going pretty well for me.

Oh, cool. Good to hear, man. Yeah, love to hear that.
