Sophisticated Rider is a magazine by the men above with all kinds of different "rider" sports like BMX, MX and Skateboarding. The funny thing is that me being almost 40 likes this magazine cause I like all kinds of riding but the "hardcore" BMX youth will pass the MX and SK8 articles and have to do it with a couple of pages with BMX.
This issue of SR has BMX'er Chris Doyle, Skateboarder Giorgio Zattoni, (B)(F)MX'er Ali Whitton, Snowboarder Andy Finch and FMX'er Nate Adams all interviewed with nice color pictures all over magazine. Jay Eggleston's article about his X-Games adventure is the best, he lost $ 1236.82 riding the X-games this year! Who thinks that they are all rich superstars are totally wrong!
Let me thank all the sponsors who have supported me from day one of the bmxinvasion bike battles:"Mad Dog" Chris Moeller S&M bikes, Abe Ford my team manager at Dans competition, Rob-o from Fit bike co., Sean Mckinney Revenge industries, Jim Wannamaker from Kenda usa, George from Knight bmx, Mike McCafferty Elite footwear/ecd, Ralph Sinisi Animal bikes and Marco Massei from Props Visuals. These underground contests are not possible without the support from these great guys and their companies .
Don't want to spend any more words, going to throw this CD in the thrashcan RIGHT NOW!

No, we didn’t pick up Cory Nastazio. Look again, it’s Lance Mosley straight outta Nashville. Whether it’s a contest at Venice Beach or a night on the town, Lance is for sure to bring his A-game.

Chris has been a silent shredder from Ft Wayne for years. But that is all about to change. With backing from SE to get to ALL of the contests, look for him to be in plenty more finals. He’s got more than a few tricks up his sleeves for ’06.
The history of this project is a long one, dating back over seven years with several different proposed locations and site designs. This past August, Toronto’s city council approved funding for the first phase of the Extreme Sports Park project—the BMX park. The BMX course is to be built to Olympic competition standards on the western waterfront of Marilyn Bell Park.
