My name is Missi Thede and I reside in Manchester, Iowa. I specialize in motocross and hare scramble photography.

I also do shoots on private tracks and land and outdoor portrait photography.

I also create Special Memories and Memorials, Collages, Special Effects and Photo Restoration.

I am a member of the AMA and ATVA, Iowa OHV and Trailblazers Off Road Club and a District 22 Club Council Active Board Member (Webmaster).

I am a proud sponsor/photographer for the Fun Valley MotoX Series, Sunset Ridge MX, New Hartford Racing, Riverside Raceway, IATVHSS and also shoot freelance for Hawkeye Downs, the IERA, PowerMadd and Cycle USA magazine. See my schedule for this year!

What I value most is my sponsorship of over 250 riders for the 2010 season. After all, it's all about the rider and the promotion of the sport. I am 100% dedciated to all of my riders and do my best to be fully involved with the sport.

About Missi ~
I am a single mother of two, Seth, 18 and Sara, 16. Sara helps me out at the tracks by working the booth or helps me shoot on the track. I work full time during the week at the local newspaper as production manager in Manchester. I have two home businesses - Thede Web Works and Thede Photography.  I love spending time with my kids, cats and being outdoors:  shooting, walking, hiking and biking and riding/racing my quad. My true love is the sport of racing, particularly motocross and hare scrambles- the dedication and determination of the riders in these sports are just truly amazing and what amazes me the most is the sense of FAMILY whether you're a new rider or an ol' pro, a spectator - or for that fact - a photographer.
